U.S. women’s national team coach Emma Hayes said she ‘understood’ the booing of one of her players, Korbin Albert, as she took to the field in a match against England in London on Saturday. Earlier this year Albert faced widespread criticism for sharing anti-LGBTQ+ content on social media.

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.

Emma Hayes was welcomed home to London with fireworks as the USWNT battled it out with England in front of 78,346 fans at Wembley Stadium. It was a game of push and pull in England’s capital Saturday, with both nations failing to capitalize on their chances to end the friendly in a scoreless draw.
