The USWNT begins their tournament Friday at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, and several athletes and celebrities are sending good luck messages ahead of their first match.
One of the most notable athletes who voiced his support ahead of Team USA's opening match is retired NFL quarterback, Tom Brady. Brady put out a video saying, “Team USA is gearing up to do something I was never able to pull off — a three peat. I wanted to give a shoutout 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,” per the FOX Soccer official twitter page.
Get 'em going, @TomBrady! 😤 💪
