WATCH: Get to know Badger soccer star’s dog
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup got underway on July 20 and the USWNT roster includes former Badger midfielder Rose Lavelle for a second straight time. As a part of a promo coming out of the commercial break, the audience was introduced to the soccer star’s adorable dog Wilma.
Lavelle and the US squad have gotten off to a solid start in the group stage, defeating Vietnam 3-0 on July 21 and drawing with the Netherlands 1-1 on July 26.
Their next match is set for Tuesday (Aug. 1) against Portugal, a team that lost to the Netherlands and beat Vietnam in their two contests so far.
"I do think she's dog famous… as she should be." 🤣
