Sandy • Before the United States Women’s National Team played even one game in the Women’s World Cup, Utah Royals FC coach Laura Harvey had already thought about what a championship run by the U.S. Women’s National Team would mean for soccer in this country.
Harvey, who is from England, said last month that if the USWNT won the whole thing, it would be “ the best thing” for the National Women’s Soccer League. That notion will be put to the test in earnest now that all the U.S. players are back with their respective clubs and the league looks much like it did before World Cup preparations started in May.
