Also during the tournament, espnW will examine the state of European women’s soccer clubs, some of which recently welcomed U.S. Women’s National Team stars like Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd and more – why did they choose to go abroad now, and how will European soccer prepare them for the next FIFA Women’s World Cup? espnW’s Graham Hays will also provide an in-depth look at reigning UEFA champion Germany and the team’s prospects during the UEFA Women’s EURO and in the next World Cup.
