USWNT vs. Jamaica player ratings: Sentnor, Biyendolo bag doubles in easy win
USWNT vs. Jamaica player ratings: Sentnor, Biyendolo bag doubles in easy win Show Caption Hide Caption 'Heartbeat' and 'Brilliant' kits unveiled for USWNT, USMNT U.S. Soccer on May 13 unveiled the 2025 Nike U.S. National Team Kit Collection, introducing new kits for the men's and women's teams . U.S. Soccer The U.S. women's national team made easy work of Jamaica on Tuesday night, defeating the Reggae Girlz 4-0 in a friendly in St. Louis. Ally Sentnor and Lynn Biyendolo both scored a brace at Energizer Park, as the U.S. closed out a two-match window with a pair of victories after defeating China over the weekend. Emma Hayes will be satisfied with a dominant display that saw her team out-possess Jamaica by an 82-18 percent margin and outshoot the Reggae Girlz 23-2. Here are our ratings for the USWNT's comfortable win over Jamaica. As a reminder, here's the Pro Soccer Wire player rating scale: 1: Abysmal. Literally any member of our staff would have been been able to play at this level. 6: Adequate. This is our base score. 10: Transcendent, era-defining performance. This is Carli Lloyd vs. Japan in the 2015 World Cup final. GK: Phallon Tullis-Joyce - 6 The most significant moment of the night for Tullis-Joyce was when the lineups were announced, as the goalkeeper made her second straight start. It was a major sign she may be taking the lead in the race to replace Alyssa Naeher. As for the actual game? Tullis-Joyce had no saves to make and her 26-for-26 passing night was more about Jamaica's lack of pressure than anything else. LB: Kerry Abello - 6 Abello got high on the left flank with regularity in her USWNT debut, putting pressure on Jamaica's back line. The Orlando Pride defender nearly capped off her night with a debut goal, but dragged a late chance just wide of the far post after winning back possession. CB: Tara McKeown - 6.5 McKeown continues to earn Hayes' trust as the Spirit center back turned in an assured performance while under little pressure. But McKeown made the defensive plays when she was called on and completed a ridiculous 101 passes out of 108 on the night. CB: Naomi Girma - 6.5 The USWNT always looks more in control with Girma as the team's quarterback in possession. With Jamaica dropping off, the Chelsea defender had a comfortable 99-for-102 passing night and also chipped in a team-high seven clearances. RB: Emily Fox - 7.5 Fox started the game dropping back into possession with Abello getting high on the left flank, but Hayes quickly changed her tactics and the Arsenal right back proceeded to fly up and down the right flank with abandon. Fox's layoff for Sentnor on the USWNT's opener was superb, and the defender led her team with three key passes in the game. CM: Sam Coffey - 7 Coffey was the tempo-setter for the USWNT in midfield, and the Portland Thorns star did her job well as she looked to keep things moving quickly. The midfielder had a key slipped pass for Thompson that led to the second goal, won eight of her nine duels and had a team-high four tackles. CM: Claire Hutton - 6 Hutton delivered an up-and-down performance while playing a No. 8 role. The Kansas City Current teenager was sloppy at times in possession, losing the ball a team-high 15 times, while also displaying her array of skills and turning ability. She also showed her aerial prowess as her header off a corner kick led to a rebound Biyendolo scored for the USWNT's third. CM: Lily Yohannes - 7 Yohannes played a higher position than she normally has with the USWNT, as Hutton and Coffey lined up behind her. The 17-year-old responded with another excellent display as she had a hand on the first two goals. She played a magnificent lofted pass for Fox to set up Sentnor's opening goal, then her long ball for Alyssa Thompson helped start the sequence that led to the second. LW: Alyssa Thompson - 7 Thompson was always positive when she got the ball on the left flank, driving at Jamaica defenders and forcing them to deal with her speed. Her end product wasn't always there, but she played a big role on the USWNT's second as her blocked shot deflected right in the path of Sentnor. CF: Catarina Macario - 6 Macario took a back seat to others in the attack during her 57 minutes on the pitch, though she nearly scored right before she departed the match with a shot from distance that was tipped over. RW: Ally Sentnor - 8 Sentnor got her brace with a pair of goals on first-time shots, with her first a particularly well-taken effort on the bounce. The second was a rare goal from relatively close range as Sentnor showed a poacher's instinct inside the box. Sub: Lindsey Heaps - 6.5 Heaps made an impact after coming on in the 58th minute, completing three of four long balls including a pass over the top for Avery Patterson, who found Biyendolo for her second goal of the night. Sub: Lynn Biyendolo - 8 Biyendolo showed her striker's instincts when she put home a rebound off a corner kick just a minute after coming on as a substitute. The Seattle Reign forward capped off the night in style when she tapped home Patterson's cross from close range to make it two USWNT players with a brace on the night. Sub: Lo'eau Labonta - 6.5 Labonta once again showed her ability in her second U.S. appearance after a history-making first cap, spraying some nice passes forward to get her teammates involved. She also won all three of her duels in a bright cameo. Sub: Michelle Cooper - 5.5 Cooper should have scored a late fourth but completely mis-kicked her chance from close after a great low ball from Fox. Sub: Olivia Moultrie - 6 Moultrie looked to push the tempo on the left flank after coming on in the 67th minute, delivering several crosses that didn't quite find their intended target. Sub: Avery Patterson - 7 Patterson came on with 10 minutes to play and quickly got involved on the right flank, playing an outstanding low cross that Biyendolo couldn't help but slam home from close range. Patterson nearly scored one herself in stoppage time in a highly impactful cameo.

Freeman reportedly eyed by Premier League, Serie A clubs
Freeman reportedly eyed by Premier League, Serie A clubs Show Caption Hide Caption 'Heartbeat' and 'Brilliant' kits unveiled for USWNT, USMNT U.S. Soccer on May 13 unveiled the 2025 Nike U.S. National Team Kit Collection, introducing new kits for the men's and women's teams . U.S. Soccer Alex Freeman only just began his Orlando City career, but he may not be staying for long. According to The Telegraph, Serie A side Parma has made an opening offer of €2 million for the right back, who is also subject to interest from clubs in the Championship and newly promoted Premier League sides. Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland will all move up from the second tier to the Premier League for the 2025-26 season. Freeman — the son of ex-NFL star Antonio Freeman — mostly played for Orlando's reserve side before this season, which has been a breakout campaign for the 20-year-old. The 6-foot-2 defender has started 14 of Orlando's 15 games so far this season, tallying three goals and one assist while impressing with his speed and attacking ability on the right flank. Freeman's rapid rise saw him earn his first U.S. men's national team call-up last week, as Mauricio Pochettino named him to a 27-man squad for friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland. The majority of the players are also expected to make up the USMNT's Gold Cup roster. The defender signed a Homegrown contract with Orlando in 2022, taking him through 2025 with a club option for 2026.

Nike to raise prices and return to Amazon in major strategic move
Nike to raise prices and return to Amazon in major strategic move Show Caption Hide Caption 'Heartbeat' and 'Brilliant' kits unveiled for USWNT, USMNT U.S. Soccer on May 13 unveiled the 2025 Nike U.S. National Team Kit Collection, introducing new kits for the men's and women's teams . U.S. Soccer Nike NKE.N is planning to raise prices of some products from next week and will sell items on Amazon AMZN.O after six years, the company said on Wednesday. The footwear retailer will increase prices on apparel and equipment for adults between $2 and $10, while those priced between $100 and $150 will see a $5 hike, it said. The company sources a significant portion of its footwear from China and Vietnam. With the critical back-to-school shopping season approaching, Nike will not raise prices for children's products. "We regularly evaluate our business and make pricing adjustments as part of our seasonal planning," Nike said. Prices for shoes costing more than $150 will increase by up to $10, while products costing less than $100 will not see any hike. Nike's Air Force 1 shoes, which cost $155, are exempt from the increase. CNBC first reported on the price increases. German sportswear brand Puma said earlier this month it had reduced shipments from China to the U.S. and might increase prices in the country due to tariffs. More Nike news: Nike is releasing dirty Air Force 1s, social media is perplexed Back at Amazon Nike will be back on Amazon as the footwear maker works to regain market share from newer and trendier competitors amid a turnaround push under CEO Elliott Hill. Nike's products on Amazon are currently sold by independent merchants, and the company stopped selling on the e-commerce platform in 2019 as it shifted focus to sales on its own websites and in stores. Its return to Amazon in the U.S. was part of its investments in its marketplace to reach more consumers, which also included expanding to new physical retailers such as department store chain Printemps. North America was Nike's biggest market by total revenue, as of 2024. Amazon notified some of those merchants that it will ban them from selling certain Nike products from July 19 as it was working with Nike directly, the Information reported, citing a message sent to merchants by the company. "We're providing an extended period of time for the small number of sellers affected to sell through their inventory of overlapping items," an Amazon spokesperson said.
