Cordeiro, 64, quit after taking responsibility for "offensive" language used in court papers submitted in an equal pay case. The papers said the US women's team were "less skilled" and "had fewer responsibilities than their male colleagues". "The arguments and language contained in this week's legal filing caused great offence and pain, especially to our extraordinary women's national team players who deserve better. Women's national team co-captain Megan Rapinoe described the language used as "painful" and "unacceptable" following her side's 3-1 victory over Japan which secured the SheBelieves Cup in Dallas.
