With the women’s soccer world cup going on, everyone’s eyes are on the US women. And why won’t it be? After all the two-time defending champions are going for their third win in a row. On their route to the championship, the Americans faced a spirited Dutch team yesterday.  And guess what, the match which was a replay of the 2019 final, completely lived up to its hype.

In fact, it was one of the most thrilling group-stage matches for the US women’s soccer team in recent memory.  But what made the match more interesting was American co-captain Lindsey Horan’s confrontation with her Dutch club teammate. While there was no love lost between them off the pitch, sparks definitely flew during the game.

The verbal clash that lit the fuse

As the match unfolded, it was evident that the rivalry between the United States and the Netherlands ran deep. In the heat of the action, Lindsey Horan found herself fouled by her French Division 1 Feminine Club Lyon FC teammate, Danielle Van de Donk. However, we didn’t expect the fiery exchange that followed the incident.

An angry Lindsey Horan conveyed a clear message to her opponent by saying “F**king Bi*ch.” This spirited trash-talking from the American co-captain certainly added an electrifying twist to the already charged match.
