Japan series win crucial to deciding USWNTs World Cup squad, says Hayes - Soccer News
""It's a little bit like graduating from university. We're in our sophomore year. I think we're passing all of our tests with a mixture of colours. I think in order to prepare for that dissertation and that final exam that will come next year, we have to keep studying, and we have to keep applying it. And that's the bottom line.""
""You do not become elite by dreaming about it; you have to work so hard at it. Every one of us will work so hard to make sure we are in the best place possible.""
Emma Hayes highlighted the importance of the USWNT's upcoming international windows in preparation for the 2027 Women's World Cup after a series win over Japan. The team secured a 3-0 victory in the final match, with goals from Naomi Girma, Rose Lavelle, and Kennedy Wesley. Hayes compared the team's progress to being in their sophomore year at university, stressing the need for continuous improvement and hard work to achieve elite status.
