Women’s World Cup roster: the 23 players who will represent the United States

Jill Ellis has named the 23 players who will represent the United States at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. Many of these names have been as close to 100% locks as possible for a while; it’s clear the preferred starting forward line will be Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, and Tobin Heath, with Christen Press as a power sub. Additionally, Lindsey Horan has become indispensable in midfield, Crystal Dunn is one of the top five Americans to watch in this tournament, and Becky Sauerbrunn is Captain America regardless of who wears the armband.
