U.S. Women's National Soccer (USWNT)

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
U.S. Soccer offers identical contracts to USMNT and USWNT

The U.S. Soccer Federation has taken a big step in the equal pay fight surrounding its two senior national teams. Now, we'll see if it's what both teams want.

U.S. Soccer announced Tuesday that it has offered identical contract proposals to the United States Women's National Team Players Association and the United States National Soccer Team Players Association (which represents the USMNT), with the goal of uniting the two teams under a single collective bargaining agreement.

In its release, the federation said this about the offer:

U.S. Soccer firmly believes that the best path forward for all involved, and for the future of the sport in the United States, is a single pay structure for both senior national teams. This proposal will ensure that USWNT and USMNT players remain among the highest paid senior national team players in the world, while providing a revenue sharing structure that would allow all parties to begin anew and share collectively in the opportunity that combined investment in the future of U.S. Soccer will deliver over the course of a new CBA.

If either party does not agree to the proposal, U.S. Soccer says it will invite each union to sit in on negotiations between its counterpart and the federation for full transparency.

USWNT blasts US Soccer's identical contract offer 'PR stunt' as equal pay fight continues

USWNT players union calls offer a PR stunt

The USWNTPA replied to the public announcement of the offer on Tuesday via Twitter. The group called it a PR stunt and again reiterated its belief the federation was not bargaining in good faith.

"USSF's PR stunts and bargaining through the media will not bring us any closer to a fair agreement. In contrast, we are committed to bargaining in good faith to achieve equal pay and the safest working conditions possible. The proposal that USSF made recently to us does neither."

The match was the U.S. women's first return to action since winning the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this summer.

Paraguay and the U.S. will play another friendly on Sept. 21 at TOL Stadium, the new home for Major League Soccer side FC Cincinnati.

Yes, it’s that Rodman’s daughter. Don’t know anything else about her but she did ink a historic $1M deal with NWSL.

Trinity Rodman replaces Abby Dahlkemper on SheBelieves Cup roster

She scored her 1st goal for the USWNT in beating Uzbekistan 9-1 in Columbus Ohio over the weekend.

Rose Lavelle and Catarina Macario each scored a pair of first-half goals, and the United States women's national team beat Uzbekistan 9-0 on Tuesday to extend the team's unbeaten streak to 67 games on American soil.

Trinity Rodman, who came in as a second-half substitute, scored her first international goal for the United States. The 2021 U.S. Soccer Young Player of the Year is the daughter of former NBA player Dennis Rodman.

Think I’ll just use this as a quasi Women’s World Cup thread. Doubt there’s enough traction to start its own but if someone wants, go for it. (Only other time we did WWC was 2011…started by me. At least that I found.)

Kicked off today/this morning. Both hosts Australia and New Zealand won, with NZ being a big surprise.

US kicks off vs ‘Nam 9pm on Fox tomorrow (Friday) night.

Not enthused about "our" team. Wouldn't bother me if they got taken down a notch.

Vietnam sure won't do it, just let someone else lift the Cup in the end. Yeah, I said it.

Canada looked terrible yesterday. Not sure if it’s the travel/time differences, or the rest of the world catching up, or what. Looks like a tournament where an underdog run could happen though.

Oh, ok. Hope this is the only/last of that type of comment.

I hope this team continues to dominate and do it by utilizing their younger talent. No reason they shouldn't.

Excited for the quest for that 5th star. Definitely going to be a challenge this cycle. Doesn’t feel like the most talented group compared to years past.

The roster seems to be in a little transition from the old guard to new. Hope they can find the right balance and the young talent - Rodman, Sophia Smith, Alyssa Thompson - steps up.
