Washington Spirit’s Rose Lavelle named to 2019 FIFPro World XI

Rose Lavelle is going to run out of space for trophies at this rate. The Washington Spirit and USWNT playmaker was named to the 2019 FIFPro World XI today, joining four other United States teammates (Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Julie Ertz, and Kelley O’Hara) in receiving the honor during FIFA’s awkwardly-named The Best FIFA Football Awards gala.

FIFPro, which serves as a players union of sorts for international soccer, received votes from over 3,500 players in determining their best eleven for 2019.
