Hello there! The NWSL Championship is set, while the U.S. men's national team aim to book their spot in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals in Monday's game against Jamaica. I'm Pardeep Cattry with a trophy-themed update to start the week.

Marta's stunning solo effort and goal ensured the two best teams -- potentially in NWSL history -- will square off in the championship game next week.

Following a historic 2024 NWSL Shield-winning regular season, the Pride secured their spot in the NWSL final following a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Current on Sunday in front of an announced attendance of 14,524 at Inter&Co Stadium.
