There are still about three months left for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Meanwhile, players are busy prepping themselves for the ultimate tournament. USWNT’s stars just kicked off their NWSL season, and WSL1 is almost halfway done with their season.
In one of yesterday’s matchups, Manchester City faced Chelsea. The match was almost one-sided as it ended 2-0 in favor of Manchester City. Meanwhile, one story related to the match has gone more viral than the result themselves.
In the 30th minute, Lauren Hemp scored a staggering goal and doubled the already attained 1-0 lead of the team. She has been one of the key pieces behind the team’s 2nd spot on the table while being toe to toe with the no. 1 seed. Not only in the WSL1, but she will be one of the most important pieces in the offense of her national team. They will have a mammoth of a task to stop USWNT as they eye a three-peat.

Manchester City star met Usain Bolt
Lauren Hemp recently shared a picture with ‘the fastest man alive’. Boasting about her speed, she wrote, “When fast met faster. You decide which one”. She appears to be starstruck in the picture. The picture was taken sometime after their match against Chelsea in which Hemp scored the goal.

Hemp appears to have got the t-shirt she wore against Chelsea signed by the legendary Bolt. The 6 feet 5-inch athlete looks like a multistory building standing next to 5 feet 4 inch Hemp. While the soccer star was chilling in the gray jacket, the fastest man, however, was balling out the Gucci T-shirt, completing an all-black-themed outfit.
