Hello there! The NWSL Championship is set, while the U.S. men's national team aim to book their spot in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals in Monday's game against Jamaica. I'm Pardeep Cattry with a trophy-themed update to start the week.

Marta's stunning solo effort and goal ensured the two best teams -- potentially in NWSL history -- will square off in the championship game next week.

There was a moment in the 2024 NWSL semifinal when Barbra Banda was receiving treatment, and the cameras zoomed in on a set of water bottles. One of them had a tape label with a bold “MARTA’S” on one side.
