USWNT live stream: How to watch USA vs. Brazil in W Gold Cup final on Paramount+, start time

Over the last seven months, there have been some positive moments, wins, and goals scored since they played in the global tournament, but there hasn't quite been that feeling of closure, of truly moving on from the summer's disaster. Years of buildup towards that World Cup were over, gone in a digitized snapshot, measuring their tournament elimination by a literal millimeter. Missed penalty kicks didn't help their case. Iconic players have since retired and a new incoming manager, Chelsea FC's Emma Hayes, is on the way. The 2024 W Concacaf W Gold Cup is the first tournament post-World Cup for the program in its first steps into...

Hermoso has commanded an army of support, including the protest resignation of the national team's entire backroom staff, having called out Rubiales for his claims about the kiss that she said were "categorically false and part of the manipulative culture that he himself has generated".
