It’s official: Heath, Horan, Franch and Sonnett are going to the World Cup

We’ve kinda known for a while now, but today’s roster drop from the USWNT confirms it: Tobin Heath, Lindsey Horan, Adrianna Franch and Emily Sonnett will represent their country in France at the 2019 FIFA World Cup.

Heath has been here before, this being her third World Cup call up. She saw time as a substitute in the 2011 World Cup but since has since become an essential starter for the USWNT, racking up 147 caps, and will be critical for their success. Heath is peaking at the right time, too: after scoring 19 goals in the first 8 years of her international career, she’s since scored 9 in the last year, and frequently looks like one of the most dangerous players on the field.
