Both Chicago State University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City have decided not to travel west this week for men's basketball games against Seattle University, citing concerns related to the spread of COVID-19.

The defending champions are going back to the Women's World Cup title game. Two early goals from Christen Press and birthday girl Alex Morgan lifted the U.S. past England and into the championship match, where the Americans will face either the Netherlands or Sweden.

Alex Morgan celebrated her go-ahead goal with a cheeky tea-sipping celebration and Alyssa Naeher stopped a late penalty kick to send the United States into the final at the Women's World Cup with a 2-1 victory over England on Tuesday.

Megan Rapinoe considers Sunday to be the final insult. The Women's World Cup final will have to compete with two others men's finals, the Copa America and the CONCACAF Gold Cup. "It's ridiculous, and disappointing, to be honest," Rapinoe said.

The USWNT is on the verge of winning another Women's World Cup, and they've gotten to the final with a brash confidence that they shouldn't need to apologize for. If you're offended, the operative phrase is: "Wah, wah, wah."

The U.S. and Netherlands entered halftime scoreless, but it wouldn't stay that way for long. Megan Rapinoe struck first on a penalty kick to open the first lead of the game and 24-year-old Rose Lavelle added a second goal to clinch the Americans' second straight World Cup title.

The United States won its record fourth Women's World Cup title and second in a row, beating the Netherlands 2-0 Sunday when Megan Rapinoe converted a penalty kick in the second half and Rose Lavelle added a goal.

By the 8 a.m. kickoff, Rhein Haus in Capitol Hill was brought to standing-room only with an estimated 850-person crowd, the largest the restaurant has ever seen for a soccer game, general manager Jeremy Walcott said.

Women's soccer engages the U.S. every four years, then disappears for most fans. In the wake of the Americans' record-setting fourth World Cup title Sunday, the hard part remains: the weekly work of boosting the National Women's Soccer League, where average attendance remains at a minor league level.

Co-captain Megan Rapinoe and her teammates shared a float with Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Soccer Federation president Carlos Cordeiro. Rapinoe struck her now-famous victory pose, took a swig of Champagne and handed the bottle to a fan.

Going forward, the big question is whether the NWSL, and professional women's sports in general, can capitalize on the momentum created by the U.S. women's national team's success. Doing so would require an investment from more than just the athletes. “I think it’s time that everyone else steps up,” Rapinoe said.
