EXCERPT:
TODD: “With its stirring win over Iran and its advance into the knockout stage of the World Cup, the U.S. men’s national soccer team gets a $13 million bonus as a team. And, for the first time ever, they will split that bonus equally with the U.S. women’s team, $6.5 million for each squad. That’s because of a new collective bargaining agreement that the women’s team reached with the U.S. Soccer Federation back in May. For Briana Scurry, a goalkeeper who played in four women’s World Cups and made an iconic penalty kick save to help the U.S. win the 1999 Cup, it’s a sweet moment.”
