A bombshell report published on Monday following a year-long investigation by former US attorney general Sally Yates detailed systemic sexual abuse and misconduct in the US domestic game.
England forward Beth Mead said Thursday she was "sickened" by the revelations, while head coach Sarina Wiegman called the situation "horrible" and "unacceptable". "We're in contact with the American team and some of the players," said Mead. "We're working on something to show our support for them.
Nothing has been finalised yet but we will be doing something. "When I found out, I was sickened by the situation. It's a worldwide problem but women need to be taken seriously. (I'm) very proud of the victims that actually stood up and said it. "People need to start doing better, the US governing body needs to be doing better, worldwide we need to be doing better." Governing body US Soccer said it would act immediately to implement reforms following the report, which included interviews with more than 200 National Women's Soccer League players.
US head coach Vlatko Andonovski said earlier this week that members of his squad would be given the option of sitting out this week's game pitting the world champions against European champions England if they decided they were not in the right frame of mind.
