'They're being more influential than we were' - O'Reilly proud of 'bold and unapologetic' USWNT following World Cup win

The former U.S. midfielder said this year's group took things a step further while playing a vital part in growing the women's game

Former U.S. women's national team star Heather O'Reilly says she was proud of how bold this year's World Cup-winning group was while using their stage to be more influential than any team that preceded them.

The U.S. ran rampant through France this summer to seal the team's fourth World Cup title, topping the Netherlands in the finale while taking down strong sides like England and hosts France along the way.
