As of 2017, soccer was reportedly the third-most viewed sport in the US, following basketball and American football. The United States Women's National Team made history by winning the first-ever Women's World Cup. 1996, the men's professional league in America, Major League Soccer or MLS, was established. Noteworthy athletes in this sport include Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard, Christian Pulisic, and Michael Bradley.
