“You Look at Trinity Rodman..” – Alex Morgan Reveals USWNT Players Who’ve ‘Made Their Mark’ Ahead of Final Preps for the FIFA Women’s World Cup

USWNT is in the last training camp for the preparations for the FIFA Women’s World Cup this year. The World Cup will take place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20. The roster of the team, called by coach Vlatko Andonovski is a perfect mix of veterans like Alex Morgan and future stars like Trinity Rodman.

USWNT is playing friendlies against the Republic of Ireland during the final international break. They have won the first friendly and will play the last on April 12. Ahead of the friendlies, US superstar Alex Morgan shared her views on the games and future stars for the country who are ready to take the mantle.

Alex Morgan hails USWNT future stars

While speaking of the two friendlies against Ireland, Morgan said, “Really good friendlies for us to continue to get momentum moving into World Cup. Our last couple of games in the US before we go over to Australia and New Zealand.” She knows the importance of these games, as those will be the final competitive games they will play before the World Cup.

The San Diego Wave FC forward also hailed the mix of players on the roster, praising the youngsters. “And there is definitely a mix of players from more veteran and experienced to inexperienced, to one or two major tournaments or five or six to none. But there are some players that have made their mark in such a short period of time,” Morgan said.

“You look at Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, Naomi Girma. Those are players that have shown that they belong and will be here for many years. So it’s exciting to see what they can do in the World Cup and how they can really be a huge factor in us being successful this summer,” she added, talking about the budding talent.
