USWNT Olympic Roster Projection: Who's Safe, Who's on Bubble for Tokyo 2020?

The U.S. women's national team is Olympic-bound after putting the finishing touches on another romp through Concacaf's qualifying tournament.

Following Friday's berth-clinching win over Mexico, Sunday's 3-0 win over Canada cemented a 5-0-0 run, with the U.S. scoring 25 goals and not conceding one (though Haiti has a fair gripe about that latter figure). That's about on average with the USA's all-time performance in the competition. Now comes another quadrennial given for the USWNT: brutal roster cuts.

Olympic rosters are capped at 18, leaving managers with more tough calls to make than usual, the more versatile players in advantageous positions and a slew of big-name and experienced players on the outside looking in.
