Gotham FC Stars Head to the USWNT!
Guess what? Two of Gotham FC's amazing defenders, Tierna Davidson and Emily Sonnett, just got called up to the US Women's National Team (USWNT)! They're heading to California for a couple of friendlies against Brazil on April 5th and 8th. Seriously, how cool is that?
It’s a huge deal for Gotham FC, and a testament to the talent coming out of the NWSL. Davidson, Gotham's captain, brings a ton of experience – 67 national team appearances and three goals! And Sonnett? She's a World Cup champ and Olympic gold medalist with a whopping 105 caps. That makes her the third-most capped player on this current USWNT roster. Both were just at the 2025 SheBelieves Cup too, so they're clearly on a roll.
Meanwhile, in Brazil...Things Aren't So Rosy for the Men's Team
Okay, so let's switch gears for a sec. Brazil's men's national team? Not having the best time right now. They got absolutely crushed by Argentina, 4-1. Seriously, a 4-1 loss to Argentina? That hasn't happened since 1964! It was…well, it was a rough one to watch.
The whole thing's sparked a huge debate. People are questioning everything: the coaching, the team strategy, the whole shebang. Some are even calling for a foreign coach. Apparently, a lack of a top-notch box-to-box midfielder and some questionable tactical decisions didn’t help either. You know how sometimes things just spiral? This feels like one of those times.
The USWNT Takes on Brazil – A Clash of Titans!
Back to the good news! The USWNT's matches against Brazil are going to be intense. They've got a 24-player roster packed with veterans and some exciting new faces. It’s a chance for them to bounce back after missing out on the SheBelieves Cup title. These games are crucial for them as they prepare for other big competitions down the line.
And the best part? You can watch it all unfold on TNT, truTV, Max, Universo, and Peacock. So grab your snacks and get ready for some serious soccer action!
What it all Means
These friendlies are going to be a huge test for both teams – Brazil’s men's team needs to figure things out fast, and the USWNT will have a good measure of where they stand. Plus, seeing those Gotham FC players on the USWNT roster is a fantastic moment for the NWSL. It just shows how much the league is making its mark on the world stage of women's soccer. So yeah, keep your eyes peeled – this is going to be exciting!
