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.

The Pride are the first No. 1 seed to advance to the NWSL Championship final since the North Carolina Courage in 2019. The NWSL has had a history of upsets, but in '24 it is the two top seeds that will now face off for the title.
