Dom Dwyer win for USWNT

Leading up to the game, Dwyer essentially predicted a victory for his wife’s squadใ

Sydney Leroux’s husband Dom Dwyer has a good feeling about the USWNT’s Women’s World Cup Final game against Japan.

Dwyer was born and raised in England, where he grew up playing soccer. He came over to the US for college, winning national championships at Tyler Junior College in Texas, and then moving on to the University of South Florida.

He was drafted into the MLS and has played for Sporting KC since 2012. He has become a star for Sporting KC and even scored a career-high four goals against FC Dallas on July 1.

Dwyer and Leroux began dating in 2014 and it wasn’t until last December that Leroux went public about the relationship. While we were all thinking that Dwyer was just her boyfriend, they shocked everyone by announcing in February that they had gotten married.

Leroux is definitely the more accomplished athlete of the two. The Canadian-born striker started off playing for Canada’s national team as a youth, but as a dual citizen, she moved to the US for high school and played college ball at UCLA. She has been playing for the USWNT since 2012.

Sunil Gulati : Hope Solo in World Cup


Sunil Gulati : Hope Solo in World Cup
Sunil Gulati : Hope Solo in World Cup
U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati traveled here Monday morning for the Americans' round-of-16 game against Columbia, and when asked at the airport whether he'd have more to say about the issue that's hung over the organization for months, he told Yahoo Sports, "Doubt it."

Don't expect any more comment from U.S. Soccer on the Hope Solo situation, especially while the World Cup is going on.

Gulati wrote a lengthy letter two weeks ago to U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, who had previously criticized the organization for failing to provide a full accounting of its actions in response to Solo's arrest for domestic violence last year.

Solo was charged but never convicted, as a judge threw out the case when Solo's accusers repeatedly failed to show up for court. U.S. Soccer did not discipline Solo for the incident, even though an ESPN report revealed the police claimed the star goalie had berated an officer on the night of her arrest.

In his letter to Blumenthal, Gulati explained that Solo's accusers were not interviewed by U.S. Soccer because only a redacted police report was proffered, and further inquiry would result in a "he said, she said" impasse. Further, the organization could not take action against Solo because of the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act.

Blumenthal told USA Today that he found Gulati's reply to be "tone deaf" and "nonsensical."

On the field, Solo has been brilliant, allowing only one goal in three matches. She has shown no trace of distraction, even with the controversy around her. Head coach Jill Ellis has called Solo a perfect teammate and insisted "we've moved on" from the incident.

Through the entire situation, Gulati has released statements but has not commented further. On Monday, he said that wasn't likely to change until after the end of the tournament.

"Hopefully by then I will be commenting on [Solo] as a member of the gold medalist team," he said.
