Three Angel City players called up to women's national team
A trio of Angel City players were called up to the women's national team Wednesday for a pair of friendlies against Ireland and one with Canada. Sisters Gisele and Alyssa Thompson will be reporting to their fourth training camp together when they arrive Monday in Commerce City, Colo., alongside teammate Angelina Anderson. A goalkeeper, Anderson is one of six players still looking for her first cap with the senior national team, making this 25-women roster one of the most inexperienced in recent USWNT history. Advertisement Four players will be training with the national team for the first time. The U.S. will play Ireland on June 26 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City and again on June 29 at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati before finishing the FIFA competition window against Canada at Audi Field in Washington on July 2. 'We want to continue to improve our understanding of how we want to play and widen the player pool, and those are some of the key goals of this three-game window,' U.S. coach Emma Hayes said in a statement. 'On this roster, we have players with a varied amount of experience, and my priority is to deepen the exposures required for international soccer. 'These are three challenging matches and as always, we want to win, but also to make sure we are ready for the next steps.'

Returning to the roster this month will be World Cup and Olympic champion midfielder Rose Lavelle, whose 110 caps and 24 international goals are both tops among players called up this month. Lavelle is returning to the national team after losing more than six months following ankle surgery. Missing, however, are most of the team's Europe-based players, among them defenders Emily Fox and Crystal Dunn, midfielders Lindsey Heaps and Korbin Albert, and forward Catarina Macario. Hayes said those players would get the FIFA window off to recuperate after a long club season. Defender Naomi Girma, who missed much of Chelsea's schedule because of injury, is the only player on the camp roster from outside the NWSL.

Gisele Thompson, 19, leads the team with four assists while Alyssa, 20, is second with five goals. All three players will be with Angel City (4-5-3) for Friday's game in Kansas City. The NWSL will then take nearly seven weeks off to allow players to compete for their countries in international competitions such as the Women's Euro and the Copa América Femenina.

Weary Gotham FC looking to get back into NWSL playoff picture
There's a busy schedule, and then there's what Gotham FC has. 'I don't think there's a team that works harder in this league than Gotham,' owner Carolyn Tisch Blodgett said last weekend. Advertisement Three weeks ago, the team was in Monterrey, Mexico, claiming the inaugural CONCACAF W Champions Cup — an achievement that was celebrated Tuesday night, when the Empire State Building was lit up in Gotham blue. Then it was off to international duty for many of the team's standouts. Then, Gotham (3W-3D-5L) returned to regular-season NWSL play, losing a 2-1 decision to first-place Kansas City on Saturday that dropped them to 10th place in the 14-team league. Advertisement Two more NWSL tilts to try to claw up the standings — starting with Friday night's road game against the Utah Royals (9:30 p.m. Eastern) — and then it's time for a month-plus-long international break that for a sizable chunk of the roster isn't a break at all as they scatter to the corners of the world to play for their national teams. 'Our team knows that if they want it easy, they probably wouldn't have come to Gotham,' Tisch Blodgett said. 'We have high standards. New York, New Jersey has high standards, and players come here because they want to compete with the best.' To that end, five Gotham players soon will depart for the summer's marquee event, the Women's Euro: forward Esther González (Spain), goalie Ann-Katrin Berger (Germany), defender Jess Carter (England), forward Jéssica Silva (Portugal) and the team's newest signing, former Harvard midfielder Josefine Hasbo (Denmark). Forward Gabi Portilho (Brazil) will participate in Copa América. Advertisement Gotham FC owner Carolyn Tisch Blodgett says her squad has 'high standards.' Getty Images And midfielder Rose Lavelle is expected to join back up with the U.S. women's national team for a round of friendlies after returning from an ankle injury last weekend. How about a lull later in the summer? Nope. On Thursday, Gotham announced four extra matches for August through October as they look to defend their W Champions Cup title. Advertisement 'I think people are still understanding the significance of that in the global game,' Tisch Blodgett said of the CONCACAF trophy. 'When we came in as new owners last year, we set a vision to be the first global women's sports franchise, and this is a critical step in that.' Gotham FC coach Juan Carlos Amoros said he believes his team is in a 'good place' despite their recent struggles in NWSL games. EM Dash-Imagn Images But first, of course, the not-so-small matter of working their way back into at least the NWSL's top eight and a playoff spot. Gotham has lost three straight regular-season matches on either side of all their extracurriculars, though head coach Juan Carlos Amoros, typically the optimist, said Thursday, 'I think the team is in a good place.' Still, the stakes against Utah (1W-2D-8L) are heightened with Gotham in desperate need of three points. 'If you're in the bottom of the league, everything counts, every single shot, every single duel. If we don't get it right, we can actually end up even lower, and I think all the girls know that,' Berger said. 'And I think Utah actually have a really good team, and I think they're playing really nice soccer.' Forwards Midge Purce and Ella Stevens did not travel to Utah after getting subbed off due to injuries in the loss to Kansas City.
