Here’s everything you need to know about college’s golazo gals.

The English Premier League (EPL) kicked off on Friday, ushering in the perfect way to fill the European sports–sized hole in your heart. Plus, with the FIFA men’s World Cup coming to North America in 2026, it’s never too early to get to know some of the best footballers on the planet. Let’s kick it.

The women’s soccer season kicks off tomorrow with a stacked lineup.

On Friday, Sportico broke the news that the NWSL and its players’ union, the NWSLPA, had quietly agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) in effect through at least 2030. It’s a smart play for both sides as the NWSLPA pushes for improved conditions and the league looks to get ahead of labor demands as it expands.

A historic rivalry will add a new chapter when the No. 5 USWNT faces No. 9 Brazil in tomorrow’s 11 a.m. ET gold medal match. Brew a Triple Espresso, flip on today’s 9 a.m. ET bronze medal match between No. 1 Spain and No. 4 Germany as a warmup, then dive into the two major storylines heading into tomorrow’s kickoff.

Twenty-two games and 12 days later, four teams remain in medal contention in Paris, with two epic semis on deck today: No. 5 USWNT vs. No. 4 Germany followed by No. 1 Spain vs. No. 9 Brazil.

Embattled No. 8 CanWNT lost Saturday’s quarter-final (QF) 4–2 in a penalty shootout to No. 4 Germany, ending their gold medal defense and exiting the Olympics without hardware for the first time since 2008. But in a tourney plagued by off-field drama, the red and white deserve all the flowers for an impressive, tear-soaked run made against all odds. Onwards and upwards.

Don’t let the drone use denials distract you — tomorrow is all about the on-field footy action, with an epic day of quarter-final clashes ahead.

It came down to the final whistle, and now the Olympic women’s soccer quarter-finals (QF) are officially set, with eight of the 12 teams advancing to the knockouts.

The NWSL’s Angel City FC (ACFC) further leaned into its namesake by launching a new philanthropic branch called the Angel City Impact Fund on Monday. It’s the latest way the club is making good on its intention to give back to the LA community, a plan that has engendered love — and a fiercely loyal fandom.

By the end of the day, we’ll know who’s joining No. 1 Spain and the No. 5 USWNT in the women’s soccer knockout round, with six spots left and six stellar group stage finale games on deck beginning today at 11 a.m. ET.

Yesterday, No. 8 CanWNT formally appealed the six-point deduction handed down by FIFA in the wake of their ongoing drone scandal. A resolution could be imminent as the case is fast-tracked before group stage games conclude…tomorrow. Buckle up.
