A bittersweet occasion lies ahead of the U.S. women’s national team on Tuesday when Carli Lloyd will bring her 16-year international career to an end when the USWNT takes on South Korea for the second time in a week.
The American legend is stepping away from the game and Tuesday will mark her final match with the USWNT in what is sure to be an emotional night in Minnesota.
The UEFA Champions League takes a break this week, making way for domestic cup action in England and Germany, with Wednesday’s Borussia Monchengladbach – Bayern Munich serving as the headliner.
In MLS, the New York Red Bulls and D.C. United renew their long-standing rivalry, and this time around there are major playoff implications on the line. The Red Bulls are on an eight-match unbeaten run, and can bury D.C. United’s playoff hopes with a victory on Wednesday at Audi Field.
Tuesday night will also feature Los Angeles FC taking on familiar rival Seattle Sounders in a match LAFC needs to keep its playoff hopes alive, while the Sounders find themselves in a slump as they try to hold onto first place in the Western Conference.

This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. USWNT vs South Korea – Lloyd’s last game will be an emotional moment, but the Americans also seem to have a problem on their hands with their Korean opponent which held them scoreless last week.
2. Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich – Monchengladbach’s feet get put to the fire in the second round of DFB Pokal. Bayern has the luxury of rotating and creating some matchups to prey upon, making for an interesting one.
3. D.C. United vs. New York Red Bulls – Long-standing rivals meet in the latest installment of their I-95 Derby, and this time there are serious playoff implications.
4. LAFC vs Seattle Sounders – LAFC is on the verge of missing the playoffs for the first time, which is shocking to consider given we are just two years removed from LAFC enjoying a record-setting Supporters’ Shield season. A win over the Sounders would broadcast that the once-feared Los Angeles side still has more to give in 2021.
5. C.F. Monterrey vs Club América – América is vying for its eighth CCL title, Monterrey, its fourth. Anything can happen here.
