Ask any non-Houston Dash fan, what was the “header heard around the world”? And they’ll say Abby Wambach’s 122nd minute equalizer against Brazil, in the quarter-final of the 2011 World Cup.
Ask any soccer fan what the most memorable moment of the United States’ 2019 World Cup triumph was? And they’ll say Alex Morgan’s 31st minute tea-sip celebration after she had balletically sailed above Demi Stokes and nodded the USA into the lead, in the semi-final versus England.
These two distinctive headed goals - alongside their eye-catching celebrations - bookend the 21st century rebirth of the USWNT.
