A late goal by Kyah Simon has earned Australia a fortunate 1-1 draw against the world champion United States in Newcastle and denied the American women a second win in the two-game series.

After 21 years since last playing in Australia, the United States women’s soccer team needed only 24 seconds to score against the Matildas.

The U.S. women sent Carli Lloyd into retirement with a 6-0 rout of South Korea.

The U.S. women’s national team had its 22-match winning streak on home soil snapped in a scoreless draw against a surprisingly resilient South Korean team.

Various logistical challenges have prevented the team from getting new jerseys omitting the logo of Social CBD, a former sponsor embroiled in scandal.

The Americans rebounded from their opening loss to Sweden with a 6-1 rout of New Zealand in front of the First Lady in the women’s soccer tournament at the Tokyo Olympics.

Carli Lloyd is headed to her fourth Olympics.

Carli Lloyd scored 24 seconds into the game and the U.S. women’s national team went on to defeat Jamaica 4-0 in a Summer Series match.

The U.S. sits atop the SheBelieves Cup standings with two wins. “So that's kind of the approach I take.”The Americans have won five straight over Brazil and are unbeaten in the last seven matches. It was Press' 10th goal in her last 13 national team games and 59th international goal. Alex Morgan made her first start for the national team since giving birth to daughter Charlie last year. The U.S. beat Canada 1-0 in its SheBelieves Cup opener on Thursday, while Brazil defeated rival Argentina 4-1.
