New Orleans Saints get a visit from United States women’s national soccer team
The New Orleans Saints got a little visit Tuesday from the United States women’s national soccer team, who will be hosting China in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Wednesday evening.
The New Orleans Saints had some visitors at their training facility in Metairie on Tuesday — players from the United States women’s national soccer team, including star midfielder Carli Lloyd.
The ladies will be hosting China in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Wednesday night for the legendary Abby Wambach‘s retirement party, as she will be playing her last game for the United States. The women are ranked No. 1 in the world after winning the 2015 World Cup — their first cup title since 1999.
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, with the help of punter Thomas Morstead, gave the national team a little tour of the team facility, which included a brief talk on Saints legend and ALS fighter Steve Gleason.
