Markgraf is, of course, a former USWNT player herself, with 201 caps for the national team, of which she was co-captain, and a multitude of club-level experience. She was part of the 1999 World-Cup-winning team and has two Olympic gold medals, one from 2004, and one from 2008. She’s recently been working as a color commentator and analyst for ESPN, where she’s displayed some pretty competent chops at breaking down games in a clear, concise manner.
