In women's soccer, it is not uncommon to see teammates date one another.

United States Women's National Team members Ali Kreiger and Ashlyn Harris were actually married for four years before beginning to divorce last year.

Overseas, Chelsea FC Women's teammates Jess Carter and Ann-Katrin Berger are in a relationship.

However, their manager, Emma Hayes, disapproves.

"Player-coach relationships, they're inappropriate, player-to-player relationships are inappropriate…" Hayes said earlier this week.

"One player's in the team, one's not in the team, one might be in the last year of their contract, one might not be. We all know, those of us that have been in the women's game for a long period of time, those things have been happening in dressing rooms. Longer term, it would be ideal... where you don't have to deal with that."

Carter, of course, caught wind of those comments, and wasn't a fan. She liked a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, that criticized Hayes, soon-to-be the manager of the USWNT.

"You don’t have to justify what Emma said btw, it’s a flawed answer no matter how you spin it. There’s a fundamental difference between player-player and player-coach relationships and that’s imbalance of power. She could’ve said anything but that," one liked-post read.

"[I]f I seriously thought player x player relationships were inappropriate, I probably wouldn't have signed the well known girlfriend of my club captain for a world-record fee," said another.

After Carter's likes made the rounds, Hayes revealed that the two had a one-on-one talk, and she addressed the rest of her players.

Hayes, via ESPN, said she "let myself down" with her original comments, but added she does not "take those things back."

However, "even if we have disagreements in life, we mustn't play them out publicly." Hayes cited how the players came together for a hard-fought 3-1 win on Friday that shows disagreements don't have to result in negativity on the pitch.

"We must have them conversations with each other but it's an important thing you must do in a workplace and everybody understands and I think you saw from the performance tonight that everybody is absolutely invested in what we are doing."

The U.S. military shot down a Houthi drone over the Red Sea and destroyed another one on Yemeni soil. 

U.S. Central Command says the Iranian-backed group "launched two unmanned Aerial vehicles from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward the Red Sea" on Saturday morning before its forces "successfully engaged and destroyed one UAV," while the other is "presumed to have crashed into the Red Sea." 

"There were no reports of damage or injuries from ships in the vicinity," CENTCOM said, adding that it also "destroyed five unmanned surface vessels and one UAV in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen in self-defense" later Saturday night. 

"It was determined these weapons presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the region," according to CENTCOM. "These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy and merchant vessels." 

TANKER CREW REPORTEDLY UNHARMED AFTER ATTACK BY YEMEN’S HOUTHI REBELS IN THE RED SEA 

The strikes come as the Houthis launched a suspected attack Sunday in the Gulf of Aden, with an explosive detonating near a ship, the Associated Press reported.

The British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) center said the vessel's crew saw the blast as it passed off the coast of Aden, the port city in southern Yemen home to the country's exiled government. UKMTO said there were no reports of damage to the ship or injuries. 

YEMEN’S HOUTHIS HAVE A HYPERSONIC MISSILE, REPORT CLAIMS 

U.S. Central Command said on Friday that the Houthis also "fired three anti-ship ballistic missiles from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward the Red Sea." 

Those launches came a day after Russian state media reported that the Houthis have a new, hypersonic missile in their arsenal. 

"The group’s missile forces have successfully tested a missile that is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 8 and runs on solid fuel," a military official close to the Houthis claimed, according to a report from the RIA Novosti news agency.
