Trinity Rodman’s spectacular debut goal highlighted the U.S. women’s national team’s commanding 3-0 victory over Zambia in their Olympic opener Thursday night.
Rodman, the daughter of basketball star Dennis Rodman, made her first Olympic appearance, showcasing her skill with a remarkable spin move in the 17th minute, leaving defender Martha Tembo off-balance before calmly slotting the ball past Zambian goalkeeper Ngambo Musole.
“It was purely instinctual,” Rodman said of her move, which she dubbed the “Trin Spin.” “I knew taking a touch forward would have pushed me out of scoring position, so I tried to throw her off balance. It worked perfectly.”

Alyssa Thompson, the youngest player on the 2023 United States women’s national soccer team (Uswnt) to compete in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, kept a speech from team captain Alex Morgan close to her heart after the rattling tie game with Portugal that ended the team’s shaky group stage performance in the summer tournament.
The match versus Portugal, the third of the group stage, featured in the penultimate and final episodes of Rebecca Gitlitz’s Netflix docuseries, “Under Pressure: The U.S Women’s National Team,” along with retired captain Carli Lloyd’s criticism of the team’s performance in the final group stage match.

Sydney (Australia), Aug 6 (Ians) Sweden ended the top-ranked United States’ title defence on Sunday after prevailing in a dramatic penalty shootout, while the Netherlands downed underdogs South Africa 2-0 to reach the quarterfinals at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Sweden ranked third, inflicted the U.S.’ earliest-ever Women’s World Cup exit after winning a nerve-jangling penalty shootout 5-4. The two teams had been deadlocked 0-0 after extra time in Melbourne.
The U.S. missed three penalties in the shootout, including from retiring superstar Megan Rapinoe, and Sweden missed two, reports Xinhua.
In the seventh round of penalties, substitute Lina Hurtig proved Sweden’s hero, but only after a Var confirmation was needed to determine whether the ball had crossed the line before American keeper Alyssa Naeher caught it.

With the launch of Disney+ and Apple TV+ on the horizon, Facebook is stepping up to remind advertisers of their streaming content on Facebook Watch – and the inherent advantage they have over competitors in creating an active community of viewers.
At the Iab NewFronts West 2019 event in Los Angeles Thursday, Facebook entertainment industry manager Nichole Delansky showed trailers for several of Facebook Watch’s upcoming series, including “Limetown,” which recently premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, and highlighted how they can foster social viewing and retention.
“When people are watching together in what we call a “Watch Party,” they comment 8 times more when watching as opposed to when they watch alone,” Delansky said. “Watch is making streaming video an active and connective experience.”
Delansky also hosted a Q&a session with pro soccer players Sydney Leroux and Lindsey Horan, who starred in two Facebook Watch series earlier in the year.

With the FIFA Women’s World Cup raring for Sunday’s final featuring Team USA vs. the Netherlands and ratings for the tournament on Fox and FS1 on the rise, ESPN has inked a deal with the American women’s pro soccer league, the National Women’s Soccer League, to televise 14 matches during the current 2019 season that began in April.
A total of 55 players on Women’s World Cup rosters in France play in the nine-team Nwsl, including U.S. stars Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd, Tobin Heath and Lindsey Horan.
The broadcast deal comes after Lifetime and A&e Networks in February exited a three-year official sponsor and broadcast partner deal a year early, leaving the league without a TV home less than two months before the start of its season. That deal included an equity stake in the Nwsl, which is in its fifth season.
