United States head coach Emma Hayes says her side does not have time to talk politics as the former Chelsea boss returns to England. The United States women’s national team (USWNT) is in its first international window since Donald Trump won a second term in the 2024 United States presidential election on November 5.

Emma Hayes witnessed a dominant display from her players at a packed Wembley stadium, but the U.S. coach could not taste victory on her return to England.

England earn goalless draw against Emma Hayes’ United States in Wembley friendly - The match saw Sarina Wiegman and former Chelsea boss Hayes face each other for the first time.

The United States WNT head coach Emma Hayes said she wants to see the future of the game through "a female lens" as she builds a long-term strategy for the program.

The friendly, which will see the top two sides in the FIFA women’s rankings face off, is expected to have more than 83,000 in attendance at Wembley.

Saturday’s friendly match between the England Lionesses and the US Women’s National Team (USWNT) is much anticipated for a number of reasons, but it holds extra significance for Emma Hayes.

Wiegman can instil confidence by having the Lionesses go toe-to-toe with the US and not standing off them like they did against the Germans, a factor that betting sites have no doubt taken into account with tempting prices on a high-scoring game.

In a matchup of the two best women’s teams in the FIFA rankings, the U.S. had the best chances but the game ended in a goalless draw.

The U.S. women's national team was held to a 0-0 draw by England in a friendly in London on Saturday, in a game that was a homecoming for U.S. coach Emma Hayes.
