All eyes on USWNT heroine Sophia Smith

Northwest London’s massive Wembley Stadium will beehive of energy when the United States Women’s Soccer Team (USWNT) take on England in this fall’s most anticipated an international friendly.

An estimated 90,000 fans will be on-hand to watch UEFA’s 2022 Euro’s champions and FIFA’s fourth-ranked Lionesses play host CONCACAF’s W champions, 2021 Summer Olympic bronze winner- The Lady Yanks.

The made-for-viewing match sold out in just over 24 hours.

The spotlight will be on many players on both teams, but none more that USWNT attacker, Sophia Smith.

As a result of Team USA’s Alex Morgan’s absence and Catarina Macario still recovering from extensive knee surgery, the Colorado native is expected to play a salient role in the team’s front half.
