Morgan Brian has endured a difficult few years while Ali Krieger is out of favor. The last player to be told she made the squad, she was out injured for two years. The goalkeeper remains a mystery. Ellis has used three different keepers so far this year. We will soon find out. The fate of the four other players remains a mystery.
Tierna Davidson
Tierna Davy is the USWNT World Cup youngest player. She's a great choice for this summer's tournament. The Chicago Red Stars' first-round draft pick was a centerback with a playmaker's mentality. Davidson won a national championship in 2017 with Stanford, and was drafted the Chicago Red Stars the following year. Davidson is now fully trained after playing 90 minutes with the USWNT for 2018
Ali Krieger
Ali Krieger, U.S. Women's National Team Defender, has been added to the roster. She is 26 years old and has won three international caps. In 2015, she was also part of the team’s most impressive defensive performance. In 2015, the U.S. WNT’s back line held its opponents to only three goals over five games. During the World Cup, Krieger played in five straight shutouts from the second group stage game through the semifinal match. 2011 saw Krieger score two game-winning penalty shots against Brazil and help the U.S. WNT get to the final against Japan. She played 600 minutes during that tournament.
Carli Lloyd
It's not surprising Carli Lloyd is a member of the USWNT international cup roster. The American soccer legend, aged 39, is the star of American soccer. She is currently the highest scoring American player and is the oldest player on the roster. With her assists and goals, the USWNT has reached the final of three consecutive World Cups. The most recent tournament was in France in 2015. However, her career is far from over.
Tierna Mewis
Mewis is now a 47-year-old American woman who has been in 47 games for the national team since 2014 when she earned her first U.S. Women's National Team cap. She has scored nine goals, and has also served as an alternate for the 2016 Olympic team. Mewis, although still young, is an extremely talented player. She is an excellent midfielder option for the USWNT. Her skill and experience will be very valuable as the team prepares the World Cup.
Casey Short
Even though it's not the most glamorous role in women's football, Casey Short has been a key player for the USWNT. She's made more than any professional women's soccer player and her contributions to the team have been crucial. Christen Press, a fellow player said that Casey is "very proud"
Chelsea O'Hara
While she might be a former winger, Chelsea O'Hara is one of the most talented fullbacks in the USWNT. O'Hara, who has been playing in 115 matches for USWNT since 2004, including U-16 and senior teams. She has also scored 37 national team goals. O'Hara has had limited playing time this year, making two substitute appearances for the Utah Royals FC. O'Hara has World Cup experience and was an important player in the team's 2015 title win.
