Women’s World Cup 2019: Eagles fans have extra reason to root for the USWNT

The 2019 Women’s World Cup began late last week but the United States women’s national soccer team hasn’t played yet. That changes today as their first game is against Thailand starting at 3:00 PM ET on FOX.

If you’re wondering why a Philadelphia Eagles blog is posting about women’s soccer, well, allow me to explain.

1) A majority of Bleeding Green Nation’s readership is compromised of Americans (duh). So, you know, go USA.

2) Beyond being patriotic, Eagles fans should care about the USWNT because there are some noteworthy ties on the squad.
