U.S. Women's Soccer Team Reaches Settlement in Dispute over Unequal Working Conditions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. women's soccer team has reached a settlement with the U.S.
Soccer Federation to receive equal working conditions to their
counterparts in the national men's team. The next legal move for the
two-time World Cup champions will be to appeal a case over wage
discrimination, which was tossed in May. A spokesperson for the team
said, "Our focus is on the future and ensuring we leave the game a
better place for the next generation of women who will play for this
team and this country."
