Sandy • A second consecutive Women’s World Cup title. A ticker-tape victory parade for the ages. All kinds of national notoriety and attention.
“I sometimes catch myself thinking randomly at different parts of the day, ‘I can’t believe we won this thing,’” Sauerbrunn said. “I always knew that we were capable of winning it. Actually winning the sucker is a different thing. I’m still kind of riding that high and there are times when it still catches me off guard.”
Sauerbrunn, and fellow U.S. Women’s National Team members Kelley O’Hara and Christen Press arrived back in Salt Lake City Tuesday evening, and Sauerbrunn and O’Hara met the news media Wednesday following their first post-World Cup practice with Utah Royals FC.
