France could've beaten the #USWNT in the 2011 World Cup semifinal and finished fourth, and Les Bleues seemed poised to be the next elite team. But every major tourney since has been the long wait for that all to come together for a trophy. Fourteen years later...
Here's Alex Morgan and Diana Taurasi accepting their Icon Awards at the ESPYs on Wednesday night. #USWNT
There's a new world record women's transfer: 20-year-old Canadian Olivia Smith, from Liverpool to Arsenal in the first £1M transfer — the 4th new women's transfer record set in the past 18 months. #USWNT defender Naomi Girma was the first $1M transfer.

The other thing about these games - and it applies to the #USWNT too - is that U.S. Soccer doesn't just wake up one day and decide unilaterally where it's going. These games are competitive to host, so cities that want them have to make the case. Some cities you might want to see don't do that.

Christen reads Tobin a letter from Abby Wambach:
"I tried really hard to get into your headspace...to maybe try and connect in a deeper dimension of existence. Because honestly I think that's where you went when you played... I don't know. But where you went, I wanted to go."
This, from the all time leading American goal-scorer, and second highest goal scorer in world history (male or female) - one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

This is a good clip reel, although some of the clips are real potato quality - for most of Tobin's career women's sports just didn't get the kind of production quality they deserved.

Okay so in looking for clips I found this little short of Croix Bethune, Jaedyn Shaw and Trinity Rodman talking about how they looked up to Tobin Heath. Three of the most creative, technical players of the next generation being inspired by the the OG -- if there's ever going to be a more technically gifted player than Tobin in the USA it might be one of those three.

Three years after her last match, Tobin Heath officially announces her retirement.
Love that she and Christen Press refer to each other as wives now.
Heath will undoubtedly be inducted in the US Soccer Hall of Fame now that she’s eligible.

The Athletic · Ex-USWNT midfielder Tobin Heath retires: Broken-foot goals, slugs and building new worlds
Tobin Heath hasn't played in years but her retirement still hurts. Even before I followed women's soccer, the #uswnt and the #nwsl I knew who she was. My first soccer shirt was a Tobin Heath shirt. One of the most technically gifted players to ever play the game. Glad we still get her analysis and commentary through the re-cap show.
When I get home I'm going to dig up some Tobin Heath highlight reels - prepare yourselves!

It's been six years since I interviewed Tobin Heath about how she developed her playing style.
“It’s 100 percent instinct,” she told me back then. “Because it’s what you see, it’s what you dream about."
As great a player as the #USWNT has ever had, or will have.

The Philadelphia Inquirer · USWNT star Tobin Heath is becoming as comfortable with fame as she’s long been with a soccer ball

Now official: #USWNT midfielder Lily Yohannes signs with OL Lyonnes through June 2028.
He's talking again is he? And not even when playing against the #USWNT.

While the Euros are making a lot of noise, the #USWNT is doing its business quietly.
But this summer has shown that there’s still no better country in the women’s game at developing lots of young talent.
Last night’s rout of Canada was the latest proof:
