Time to go for the goooooalll — the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 kicks off later this week, and there are several Seattle icons taking the field.
OL Reign stars Megan Rapinoe, Alana Cook, Sofia Huerta, Emily Sonnett, and Rose Lavelle are all on the US Women’s National Team (USWNT) and going for the club’s fifth title. It’ll be Rapinoe’s last run before she retires.
The tourney in Australia and New Zealand starts Thursday at midnight, but the USWNT’s first couple of matches against Vietnam and the Netherlands are at the more reasonable 6 p.m. hour.
