Women’s World Cup champions welcomed home, CONCACAF changes World Cup qualifying format, and more: Freedom Kicks for July 11, 2019

Hey all, and happy Thursday. After 23 hours of flying, I returned home to DC at 1:00am yesterday morning only to find out I had a ticket to the USWNT parade in New York. 3 hours later, I was on a train to NYC, where I was able to witness the World Cup champions welcomed home. Thus, I needed sleep and this comes super early on Thursday morning. Thanks to Ben for covering me yesterday.

The United States Women’s National Team kept the party going yesterday with a ticker tape parade and ceremony in New York City, then flying to LA to win the ESPY for Best Team.
