SOCCER EVERY DAY | The week started off with distressing news for U.S. women’s soccer, as the Sally Yates report cast a shadow over the NWSL and the game as a whole. Amid all of that, there’s still a pretty big game to be played. The U.S. women’s national team heads to England this week to play the reigning European champions at Wembley. Today, we’ll send it over to our friends in the UK at The Athletic women’s football podcast. Host Lynsey Hooper, reporter Charlotte Harpur and former England international Laura Bassett spoke with our own Meg Linehan about expectations for Friday’s game.
