The U.S. women’s soccer team is looking to win its fourth World Cup this year. The team advanced to the quarterfinals on Monday with a 2-1 victory over Spain and is undefeated so far. But the Americans may meet their toughest opponent yet when they face off against tournament-host France on Friday. In this half hour, we’re going to check in on Team USA and its quest for another world championship. We’ll also discuss the team’s lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation over gender discrimination and unequal pay.
