Article on Sydney Schneider joining Jamaica: https://theundefeated.com/features/jamaica-reggae-girlz-starting-goalkeeper-sydney-schneider/ “So I see two keepers warming up,” said Donaldson, who came onto the soccer scene as a 17-year-old with the Jamaican national team in the late ’70s, “one who could be black and a second keeper who is clearly more white than black. So I walk up to the one and I said, ‘Hey, I heard you’re from Jamaica … that you have Jamaica roots in you,’ and she looked at me like I had 10 heads. So I went back to Greg and said, ‘I thought you said your keeper was Jamaican?’ and he said, ‘She is … you spoke to the wrong keeper. That’s Sydney over there.’ ” Donaldson took a second look, this time with intention, and saw a tall and slender teenager with brown hair, brown eyes and white skin. She hardly looked Jamaican, let alone a Reggae Girl — at least the one Donaldson unconsciously had in his mind. “It was a mistake, it was an honest mistake,” Donaldson told The Undefeated, sounding like someone still reeling from having been punk’d. “The joke was on me.”

1138636564857147392 is not a valid tweet id Thai forward Miranda Nild left the field in tears Tuesday after the U.S. pounded her team 13-0 in Nild’s Women’s World Cup debut. But the tears were ones of happiness, not embarrassment, because simply taking the field in front of family and friends in a world championship was a bigger victory than anything that happened on the scoreboard. “It was an amazing experience to be able to play against the States,” said Nild, who was born in Northern California and played college soccer at California but represents her father’s homeland in international play. “It was just really a cool experience. It’s kind of all hitting me at once. Incredibly emotional. Even before the game it was insane. After it ended, just shaking all the players’ hands, it was just so awesome.”

Ryann Torrero profile: https://www.latimes.com/sports/soccer/la-sp-ryann-torrero-world-cup-20190615-story.html It would take a major catastrophe on the Chilean side for Torrero to get into the game. The team’s starting goalkeeper, Christiane Endler, is one of the best in the world. Torrero, the third-choice keeper, has yet to earn her first national team cap.
