From one legend to another.
The United States women’s national team kicked off their World Cup campaign on Saturday night and New England Patriots legend Tom Brady send a message to the team as they search for another win.
"Alright, guys. It all starts tonight. Team USA is gearing up to do something I was never able to pull off: a three-peat. So I just wanted to give a shout out to our squad as they go for their third-straight World Cup. We're all back here watching, cheering for you guys, so bring it home all right. LFG!," Brady said in a video message to the team on Friday.
In the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons, the Patriots won back-to-back Super Bowls defeating the Carolina Panthers and the Philadelphia Eagles. However, in the following year, the Patriots lost in the divisional round against the Denver Broncos, ending Brady's chance of a three-peat.
However, the USWNT has a chance to accomplish this. In the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, the United States took home the title and are looking for their third straight win this time.
And they are off to a good start, defeating Vietnam 3-0 in their first match on Friday night behind a strong performance by Sophia Smith.
While the Americans are the favorites, they do face some tough competition while navigating their own set of challenges. They are without captain Becky Sauerbrunn and have a very young team without as much World Cup experience.
But the team has a lot of support, with one of legend rooting them on.
