Emma Hayes’ USWNT revolution gathers pace in dominant summer window | USA women’s football team

The national team for the American women concluded another successful window in a pilot year. After overcoming Ireland 4-0 in successive friendly matches, He defeated the experienced Canada team 3-0 In Washington, the record for 2025 to 8-0-2 was achieved while continuing to present the youth collection full of emerging talents.

Emma Hayes returns to Audi Field came nearly a year to this day since she drew 0-0 with Costa Rica in her final seizure before continuing To win the Olympic gold in Paris. Since then, world champions have turned four times their focus into the 2027 World Cup. Hayes worked hard to build the depth and cohesion needed to challenge the title.

As of this window, Hayes crowned 24 new players during her term and 36 different players began in 2025 alone. With the rest of the players in Europe (with the exception of Naomi Jerma), and the main Olympic shareholders absent due to pregnancy or injury, Hayes continued to distribute valuable experience. Here are the largest winners and losers from this summer window.

Winners

Sam Kofi

Kofi appeared in the thirty -eighth place against Canada, and although it is not a new rejection, few players have strengthened their importance to the team just like it. After winning, Hayes Kofi noticed “her life” and praised her leadership to improve. Speaking to the media, Kofi said she preferred at least one goal to “really close it.” Hayes on her mentality: “She always wants to improve her game. It never ends. It’s never enough. She was sitting and watching the movie permanently if she could.”

After scoring on Wednesday’s victory, the defensive midfielder in Portland Thorns became three goals in five matches – the level with Cat Macario and behind the attackers Lynn Pinndolo and Lily Sentor among the best scorers in the team.

Claire Hyton

Talking about the defensive midfield players: Hyton sponsored the house at the corner of Rose Lafeel in an ideal position in the 36th minute, and got its first goal for the United States in its sixth appearance only. The 19 -year -old girl showed clear progress, translating her strong shape with Kansas City’s first city into the international theater. It was captured in Coffey, along with Coffey, Hutton provided glimpses of the dynamic midfield partnership for the future.

Rose Laville

Lavelle returned to USWnt for the first time in 2025 during this window and was not lost to everyone’s reminder of her quality. The first and third matches began, they were subtle and creative as they were always in the midfield. Laville scored and helped against Ireland in her first match, almost scored on the bench in the second and it could be said that he was the best player on the field against Canada. “It is unique in the global game. There are not many players like Rose Laville, and I really think there is another level to reach it with our team,” Hayes said.

Affiri Patterson and Leila Reel

Beyond Emily Fox from Arsenal, integrated spots remain among the most disputed areas on the Hayes team. The 22-year-old left-back was converted from the 23-year-old Houston Dash, to the right-back-both of them, both of whom are brilliantly both of the background-where each of them got this window and provided a strong argument to include it in the long run.

Riley, whose second appearance appeared against Canada, restricted the influence of old warriors like Janine Becky while combining Alyssa Thompson below the side. Hayes on Riley: “I think Lili Reel shows steady progress. It is a great thing to have a left line as an option on this side. It is strongly strong, it’s difficult to fall behind.”

In its sixth cover, Patterson helped play players such as Ashley Lawrence, also gave a threat to move forward, recorded at her first start of the window and assisting against Canada. Hayes said of the husband: “I think they are at a similar level.

Alisa Thompson

A word here for Thompson, which had an effective pace and skill in every match I played. The 20 -year -old Angel City wing showed moments of individual brilliance, scored its second international goal against Ireland in Colorado and adding a third in the next match off the bench. Although it was not registered against Canada, it remained a continuous threat – put it in its position and its energy firmly in this mixture in a crowded field of the attackers.

Losers

Jin Campbell and Cassie Murphy

Another unstable position in the Hayes team is the goalkeeper, who has been vacant since Alyssa Nair retired. Fallon Tolis-Joyce of Manchester United has probably emerged as 1, following the first appearance of a clean paint against Brazil in April. With the stability of Tullis-Joyce along with other players in Europe, Hayes has rotated its depth options for this window and found a promise in Claudia Dicky from Seattle Renn and Utah Royals Mandy McGlynn.

Dickey started the first and third matches and took several strong stations against Canada, including late memorization. McGlynn appeared in the second match and held for her, although Ireland did not provide many tests. Meanwhile, Campbell and Morphi may now need exceptional periodic offers to rid their way to conversation.

Skeptics

Hayes was measured in its assessments, methodology in building its team, and realism around the next road. After overcoming Canada 3-0, she confirmed that the team “hasn’t done anything yet.” This is true, but during the past year, confidence and experience spread through a broader group of talents. There is still a work to be done, but the dominant performance on Wednesday was a convincing reminder that this is a team that collects the tools required quietly for those in the World Cup.
