The U.S. women’s national soccer team traveling to the World Cup in a few weeks will include some of the biggest names in the sport who’ve already raised the trophy twice. As revealed Wednesday by Coach Vlatko Andonovski, the 23-strong roster features Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and a core of players responsible for the program’s durability and excellence.
The delegation headed to New Zealand and Australia for the July 20-Aug. 20 spectacle, though, will also introduce numerous newcomers to soccer’s prized competition.
Andonovski’s selections included two of the game’s most exciting young players, 21-year-old Trinity Rodman and 18-year-old Alyssa Thompson.
