Takeaways from USWNT's SheBelieves Cup triumph amid distraction and coronavirus uncertainty

The world of sports has turned topsy-turvy with the coronavirus putting just about everything on hold indefinitely, and U.S. Soccer is in a state of crisis after the abrupt resignation of president Carlos Cordeiro.
