Courage in TST finals for šŸ’° $1 million v. USWNT TONIGHT!

Hey all,

Just dropping you a quick note to celebrate some great news. The squad representing the NC Courage, led by ambassador Jessica McDonald, will compete tonight against veteran USWNT players in The Soccer Tournament final.

The game will be on ESPN+ and begins at 7p (subscriptions begin at $10.99 / mo., bundles are available with Hulu and Disney+). The menā€™s matchup will follow at 8:30p, in which Naniā€™s team will square off against La Bombonera, a squad organized by a Delaware indoor soccer club. I love the chaos of this tournament.

Itā€™s been a blast to watch this Courage side make it to the final of yet another friendly tournament. If you havenā€™t caught any games yet, scoring has been led by Madison Wolfbauer and Gracie Brian, with a solid defense to boot. You can see the full squad here.

TST, hosted here in Cary, is essentially an open tournament with modified rules allowing teams to compete for $1 million prize each for menā€™s and womenā€™s sides.

Itā€™s well worth tuning in if you have ESPN+.

If not, you certainly shouldnā€™t download a VPN service like TunnelBear, select a server in another country and watch for free. I think thatā€™s probably frowned on.

Weā€™ll be back with regularly scheduled Courage coverage this Wednesday.

Cheers, Trevor
