There’s a new coach on the horizon for the US Women’s National Team. Now, Alexi Lalas has an idea for the team’s new bench boss: focus on winning games.
Coach Emma Hayes recently bid adieu to Chelsea and the expectation is she’ll take the job as the head coach of the USWNT. Lalas — who knows a thing or two about the world of soccer — welcomed the potential hiring as a new era for the team.
He talked about why Hayes is the woman for the job.
“I think you have to work really, really hard to find something wrong with this hire,” the soccer great said.

Olympic Gold medalist Caster Semenya believes that clothes testicles don’t make the man.
The South African track star has not competed since 2018, when World Athletics revised its policy to require DSD (differences of sex development) athletes to reduce their testosterone levels to compete in women’s events.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Semenya said the policy is discriminatory.
“For me I believe if you are a woman, you are a woman,” Semenya told the BBC.
“I have realized I want to live my life and fight for what I think and I believe in myself.
You’d have to be a real lowlife to pull out a ‘Sieg Heil’ salute in 2023.
Well, Stefany Ferrer Van Ginkel — who played soccer in 2022 for the hyper-progressive, L.A.-based Angel City Football Club — is that type of degenerate and is getting bashed for her Nazi salute in front of pro-Israel activists at a rally in Beverly Hills. The activists were denouncing Hamas’ war crimes, including murdering innocent people. And Van Ginkel seems to be on Hamas’ side based on her demonstration.
The Cardinals activated quarterback Kyler Murray to the team’s 53-man roster Tuesday, cementing his return from injury this week. Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon announced Monday that Murray will get the start for Sunday’s game against the Falcons as long as he’s ready to play.
Murray hasn’t played in a game since Dec. 12, 2022, when he tore his ACL against the Patriots. His season ended with 2,368 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Since his injury, Arizona has compiled a 1–13 record.
Michigan has documents it believes show Rutgers, Ohio State and Purdue engaged in communication about the Wolverines’ signals in 2022 and has forwarded the documents to the Big Ten, sources told ESPN.
The Chicago Cubs hired Craig Counsell as manager on Monday, in a stunning move that involved firing current manager Dave Ross concurrently.
But the fact that he jumped to a division rival and replaced an incumbent manager is just the start of what makes this signing surprising. On top of the procedural oddities, Counsell is getting paid an incredible amount of money.
According to reports, Counsell agreed to a massive, 5-year, $40 million deal with the Cubs, making him, by far, the highest paid manager in the sport.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught a touchdown pass and then a 2-point conversion in the team’s Sunday Night Football loss against the Cincinnati Bengals.
On the 2-point conversion catch, Diggs crashed into a security guard standing off the field after he secured the football. Both men went down and a few seconds later microphones picked up someone yelling “get you ass up!”
A lot of people believed that Diggs said that to the security guard, which would be really, really disrespectful.

Kansas basketball and head coach Bill Self have agreed to an altered lifetime contract extension that makes Self the highest paid coach in college basketball. Self originally signed a rolling five-year contract in 2021, but according to The Messenger’s Jeff Goodman, his new deal will pay him $53 million over the next five years, more than any other coach in the country.
Self has coached at Kansas since 2003 and has won two National Championships with the Jayhawks, along with 17 Big 12 regular season titles and four Final Four appearances.
In one week since firing coach Josh McDaniels, the amount of goodwill the Raiders have engendered from the rest of the football world has ticked decidedly upward.
First, there was the general mood of Las Vegas’s players in the immediate aftermath of the firing—joking around and playing with a mini basketball in the locker room in spite of the team’s mediocre record.
Then, the Raiders actually won—authoritatively, in fact, shelling the Giants 30-6 in Nevada on Sunday.
On Tuesday, the good times kept rolling from a public relations standpoint.
