**In a shocking turn of events, a U.S. Women’s soccer dream team suffered a crushing 12-0 defeat by Wrexham AFC, a Welsh team owned by Hollywood actors. Despite their unexpected loss, the women remained positive, representing a refreshing change in the world of women’s soccer.**
A team of U.S. women’s soccer legends and world-class female players, captained by Heather O’Reilly, experienced a humiliating 12-0 loss to Wrexham AFC, a Welsh team featuring current, former, and guest players. “The Tournament,” a 7-on-7 soccer competition airing on CBS Sports, promised a $1 million prize to the winner.
In the first 20 minutes, the women’s team conceded 7 goals and ultimately lost with 12 goals against them. However, their attitude remained unwaveringly positive. O’Reilly, a World Cup Champion, remarked, “What’s the worst that could happen? We lose 16-0 to Wrexham? We don’t care because we’re living, we’re being bold, and we’re being brave.”
During the competition, the women’s team scored only one goal, losing 5-0 to a team representing historically black colleges and universities and 7-1 to a second-tier Italian professional team. Wrexham AFC’s owners, actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have elevated the club through their celebrity influence on English soccer.
The upbeat responses from the female players contrast sharply with the official U.S. Women’s National Team, which sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for $24 million, alleging unequal pay compared to the men’s national team. Megan Rapinoe,
