Does anyone know where to find some vintage or replica merch from the 1971 world cup? I've been trying to get something as simple as a poster with Xochitl on it, but I can't even find that (there's one on Etsy but they don't ship to the US, same with a shirt on Amazon). Not even red bubble is coming through this time!

Any help would be appreciated, sorry mods if this isn't allowed

The University of North Carolina (UNC, nicknamed the "Tar Heels") has the most successful women's soccer program in the US college system. They have won the championship 21 times, more than all other colleges. They've produced players who have played for prestigious clubs in the US, England and beyond.

In today's England vs USA game, at least 5 of those involved (from both teams) have played for UNC:

1. Lucy Bronze
2. Alessia Russo
3. Coach Sarina Wiegman
4. Ally Sentnor
5. Emily Fox

Retired coach Anson Dorrance coached all of these five at UNC. He is considered the greatest coach in US college soccer. He attended the match today. He also won the women's world cup with the US.

I was watching England va USA on a YouTube stream but it got suspended because of copyright, does someone know where I can watch it for free?

Some news from Norway: https://www.nrk.no/sport/sportsnyheter-1.14660227#1.17149059.1.17149059

Translation:

According to what NRK have learned, the clubs in the Toppserien and 1st division have rejected the proposal to enter into further negotiations with the Womens Football Group (WFG) about a marketing agreement.

It was done at a meeting with representatives from the clubs at the Ullevaal stadium this evening.

WFG is a Swedish-American company that has wanted to inject money into the Norwegian Toppserien and 1st division for women.

From what NRK understands, there has been talk of a collaboration where a marketing company is set up. WFG was to own 25 percent of this, while Topfotball women had owned 75 percent.

The aim was for this to generate increased income with the help of sponsorship and media agreements, and increased sales of supporter merch.

Revenues have been a challenge in the Toppserien, where the clubs ended up with a deficit of NOK 2.4 million in 2023.

Representatives from all the clubs in the top two divisions were presented with WFG's plans this autumn. The head of WFG, Eric Cohen-Peckham, has also spoken directly to several of the clubs.

It has nevertheless been unclear who the investors behind the project actually are. This have created skepticism among the clubs.

- The money for the Womens Football Group comes from Americans and Scandinavians who are passionate about women's sports and who see the great opportunity for growth in women's football, Cohen-Peckham previously told NRK.

I've been trying to find literally anywhere that's streaming this game for the last 20 minutes, from live tv to streaming sites to youtube and twitch pirated streams, and as far as I can tell it's literally nowhere. I'm located in the US, which doesn't help, but even so it's weird that I can't find the game anywhere. help?
