What does the call back to USWNT camp mean for Christie Rampone?

The Sky Blue FC defender’s return to the national team could mean a shot at Rio or an imminent retirement from international play.

For the first time since undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery back in December, Sky Blue FC captain and defender Christie Rampone was called into camp for the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT).

The May national team camp is to prepare for a pair of international friendlies against Japan on June 2nd and 5th. The last time the two countries met was in the 2015 Women’s World Cup Final, which the USWNT won 5-2 to clinch its third World Cup title.
