USWNT Dominates Paraguay 6-0 on Rodman's Triumphant Return
The United States Women's National Team (USWNT) continued its winning streak with a resounding 6-0 victory over Paraguay, thanks in part to the triumphant return of star midfielder Trinity Rodman. The Washington Spirit player scored her 12th international goal, and was named captain for the match, celebrating with a memorable dance routine on the sidelines.
Trinity Rodman's impressive performance came as no surprise, given her reputation as one of the most talented young players in the NWSL. After agreeing to a three-year contract extension with the Washington Spirit earlier this week, Rodman wasted no time getting back to work and scoring twice in Saturday's match.
The team's dominance was on full display, with five goals scored in the second half alone. Reilyn Turner made her debut for the USWNT, scoring in first-half stoppage time on an assist from teammate Olivia Moultrie. Croix Bethune also broke through for her first national team goal, courtesy of a Moultrie assist.
The win marked the final match of the USWNT's January training camp, which saw European-based players excluded due to their ongoing league commitments. The team will next face Chile in Santa Barbara on Tuesday night, looking to maintain its winning momentum.
In related news, the NWSL has been hailed as a major success thanks in part to Rodman's decision to stay with the Washington Spirit. Her contract extension is considered one of the most significant deals in NWSL history, and US coach Emma Hayes praised the move as "a monumental achievement for the league".
The victory also served as a testament to the growing strength and resilience of the USWNT, which has long been a leader on the international stage. The team honored retired forward Christen Press before the match, acknowledging her contributions to the national team over a decade ago.
With Rodman leading the charge, the USWNT looks poised for continued success in the coming months β and it's clear that this talented young star is here to stay.
