The U.S. women's national team endured an uneven 2016, and Hope Solo absorbed a highly controversial one, but that hasn't affected their standing when it comes to FIFPro's Women's World XI.
The 2016 edition of the team–just its second incarnation after the inaugural one was unveiled 13 months ago–was announced on Wednesday and features four U.S. women's players, including Solo. She's joined by reigning FIFA Women's World Player of the Year Carli Lloyd, forward Alex Morgan and right back Ali Krieger.
Olympic champion Germany and newly minted SheBelieves Cup champion France each put two players on the FIFPro XI, while Brazilian stalwart Marta makes her first appearance after being omitted last year.
