After a kind of confusing 2017, the US women’s national team seemed to regroup and put together what was, all in all, quite a nice 2018. That’s perhaps a very lowkey thing to say about an incredibly crucial year that included World Cup qualifying - sure, we always knew the USWNT would dominate the sauce out of Concacaf quals, but since when has sports anxiety every been reasonable, particularly in the wake of the MNT not doing the thing - but honestly, it really was just a nice year for the WNT.
Let’s look at the bold predictions I made for 2018:
- Neither Alyssa Naeher nor Ashlyn Harris will be the #1 WNT keeper for Concacaf qualifiers
- Hope Solo will become USSF president
How sad is it that predicting the USWNT would win SheBelieves was, at one time, a bold prediction?
