JUST IN: The U.S. Women's National Team began their 2019 World Cup run by routing Thailand in a 13-0 win.
The U.S. Women's National Team began their run in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup with a 13-0 win over Thailand on Tuesday.
The U.S. is in Group F, which also includes Thailand, Chile and Sweden. The teams with the best records in the Group Phase go on to the Knockout Phase, starting June 22, which is a single-elimination round to find the champion. The suit named the 28 members of the 2015 World Cup team as plaintiffs, including stars Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd, who are all back to compete in this year's World Cup.
"We look forward to a trial next year after the World Cup," the players said in a statement after the USSF's response was filed. In a more cultural show of their growing profile, Morgan scored a cover on this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, while Rapinoe, Abby Dahlkemper and Crystal Dunn were also photographed in the issue. In doing so, Rapinoe became the first openly gay woman to pose for the Swimsuit issue.Meanwhile, as the tournament was about to start, several players launched a new company, re-inc, and dropped a T-shirt with it, as reported by The New York Times.
