Four Angel City players, Claire Emslie, Jun Endo, Katie Johnson, and Alyssa Thompson, saw playing time for their respective national teams during the FIFA window that ended yesterday.

With Scotland, Emslie started and played 66 minutes in a 1–0 win against Australia last Friday, April 7. Yesterday against Costa Rica, she started and played 56 minutes, forcing an own goal by Katherine María Alvarado en route to an emphatic 4–0 win against Las Ticas.

Japan split their results during the break, first defeating Portugal 2–1 last week, then falling 0–1 against Denmark. Endo was available against Portugal, but didn't see the field; against Denmark, she started and subbed out in the 87th minute.

Johnson entered Mexico's game against the Chicago Red Stars last Saturday, which Mexico won 5–2, in the 65th minute.

Finally, Thompson, who joined the US team mid-window following an injury to Mallory Swanson, played 90 minutes in the team's second match against Ireland, a 1–0 win.
