THE FUSE

Trinity Rodman is officially on break. When the professional soccer player and Olympic gold medalist joins our Zoom call in June, she's just wrapped up a "not-so-friendly" match against international rival Brazil in preparation for the 2027 Women's World Cup. ICYMI, Rodman and the rest of the USWNT fended off their opponents in a highly physical game on June 9: Brazil received eight red cards and four coaches were escorted off the pitch as team USA fought their way to a 1-0 win — the first on Brazilian home soil since 1997.
