The road for Lynn Williams to get onto the 2023 Women’s World Cup roster for the United States Women’s National Team has been a turbulent one. Despite storming onto the scene in 2016 and scoring the lone goal for the USWNT at the 2017 SheBelieves Cup, she was left off the roster for World Cup qualifying in 2018 and was one of the final omissions from the 2019 World Cup roster.
“Looking back now, obviously 2019 was devastating for me. I wasn’t even on the team all of 2018, I believe, or going into 2019,” she stated on an episode of her Snacks podcast that she co-hosts with Sam Mewis.
