World Cups come and go and for the most part, they’re remembered by the few great moments. What we just witnessed in the United States vs. England match was a great moment.
Alyssa Naeher’s journey to starting goalkeeper of the United States Women’s National team wasn’t easy. It wasn’t until 2016 when she was named the starter after she was the backup behind Hope Solo in the USWNT’s last World Cup. Her difficult journey is what made yesterday’s moment even sweeter.
Coming into the semi-final, Naeher had yet to set her mark on this tournament.
