EMMA HAYES NOMINATED FOR WOMEN’S TEAM COACH OF THE YEAR Emma is 1/6 coaches nominated for the 2024 Ballon d'Or Coach of the Year award. No surprise with the year that she had. She led Chelsea to a 5th straight WSL title & the USWNT to their first Olympic Gold Medal since 2012 🇺🇸

USWNT midfielder & Washington Spirit star rookie Croix Bethune will miss the rest of the 2024 NWSL season after suffering a torn meniscus. Devastating news for the club & Bethune, who seemed to be the league's favorite for Rookie of the Year. Sending her our love & support 🖤😔

Even though we cannot wait to see what she does next, she will be forever etched in our memory, scoring the winner against England in 2019, throwing her head back in her moment of glory, and sipping all the Tea 🇺🇸 (3/3)

And, we're crying again 🥲
