FOX Sports’ record-breaking Summer of Soccer continues as the U.S. Women’s National Team plays its first match since winning the FIFA Women’s World Cup, taking on Costa Rica this Sunday, Aug. 16 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. All 23 players from the World Cup-winning team make the trip, including midfielder Carli Lloyd, forward Abby Wambach and defender Meghan Klingenberg, who is a Pittsburgh-area native.
