The USWNT is gearing up for an exciting double-header against Italy, and you won't want to miss this! But first, let's talk about the roster. Head coach Vlatko Andonovski has announced a talented 26-player squad, featuring a mix of seasoned veterans and fresh, uncapped players.
Goalkeepers: Three shot-stoppers will be vying for the starting spot, including the experienced Claudia Dickey, who's been a stalwart between the posts for Seattle Reign. Mandy McGlynn and Jordan Silkowitz are also in the mix, both looking to make their mark.
Defense: A solid backline is crucial, and this roster boasts some serious talent. Jordyn Bugg, a Seattle Reign regular, will be a key figure, along with Arsenal's Emily Fox and Chelsea's Naomi Girma. Keep an eye on the uncapped players too, like Lily Reale and Izzy Rodriguez, who could make their international debuts.
Midfield: The engine room is stacked with skill and creativity. Croix Bethune and Sam Coffey are set to bring their A-game, while Lindsey Heaps and Jaelin Howell provide a wealth of experience. Rose Lavelle, a fan favorite, will undoubtedly be a key player to watch.
Forwards: And now, the goal scorers! Catarina Macario, a Chelsea star, will be a threat up front, along with the young and talented Olivia Moultrie. Jaedyn Shaw and Alyssa Thompson are also in the mix, ready to make their mark on the international stage. And let's not forget the uncapped players, like Jameese Joseph, who could be a surprise package.
With such a talented roster, the USWNT is poised to put on a show. But here's where it gets interesting: how will the team's chemistry develop with so many new faces? Will the veterans step up and guide the youngsters, or will the uncapped players surprise everyone with their talent? Only time will tell, and you can catch all the action live! So, are you team USWNT or Italy? Let the games begin!
