USWNT Takes Center Stage in First Look at Netflix’s New Sport Series, ‘Under Pressure: The U.S. Women’s World Cup’

The first look at Netflix’s new sports series, Under Pressure: The U.S. Women’s World Cup have been released. The four episode series will follow some of the soccer players who played for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team in the 2023 World Cup this past Summer.

“The all-access sports series will allow audiences to intimately follow the U.S. Women’s National Team’s players and coaches and reveal an inside look at the most decorated team in soccer history. Viewers will get a first-hand look at the pressure, the euphoria, the joy, and the hardships that these world-class athletes experience as they strive to capture their third World Cup title in a row. Issues ranging from injury, criticism and doubt, equal pay, and upholding legacies are all brought to light as the narrative unfolds.

The series will capture all of the personal and team preparation on the road to the 2023 FIFA World Cup. Throughout their tournament run, audiences will learn how this team stands on the shoulders of those who played before them, and how they continue to break the glass ceiling for equality in sports for women of the future.”

The series will featured interviews with the team’s co-captains, Alex Morgan and Lindsey Horan, and World Cup first timers, Alyssa Thompson, Savannah DeMelo, Lynn Williams and Kristie Mewis.

Things I want from this docuseries, Kristie’s reaction to making her World Cup debut during the quarterfinals against Sweden, and being one of the few on the USWNT to make her PK, and for them to address the elephant in the room, the poor coaching by Vlatko Andonovski.
