The 2019 Women's World Cup for soccer
begins this Friday and the US Women's National Team will be playing
their first game on Tuesday June 11th. They are currently
ranked number 1 in the world so it should be a great tournament!
I have been following the US women's
team since 2015 when they won the last World Cup and since then, they
have become my favorite sports team. I'm not even sure how I got so
into it, but I love this team! I didn't even play soccer growing up,
but I just love watching these games.
The team consists of 23 players, some
of which were on the last World Cup team, but there are also a lot of
new players who will be making their first World Cup appearance. All
the women are talented players and have great personalities which
makes the team even more likable.
This year's roster includes: Alex
Morgan, Tobin Heath, Carli Lloyd, Christen Press, Jessica McDonald,
Mallory Pugh, Megan Rapinoe, Rose Lavelle, Morgan Brian, Julie Ertz,
Lindsey Horan, Allie Long, Samantha Mewis, Tierna Davidson, Abby
Dahlkemper, Crystal Dunn, Ali Krieger, Kelley O’Hara, Becky
Sauerbrunn, Emily Sonnett, Alyssa Naeher, Adrianna Franch, and Ashlyn
Harris.
In case you are new to the team, here
is a series called 23 Stories which features each of the players
talking about something that is important to them.
The games will be airing on FOX so it
should be easy for everyone to watch. Tune in this summer
and show your support. Let's go USWNT!
