They all pushed each other in every training session and every game and challenged the coaches to make some tough decisions. These 23 players have been through adversity and success, and it’s a group that has the talent, confidence, experience and desire to help us win the World Cup.” Before the U.S. Women’s National Team gets into World Cup action, they will have a couple of “Send-Off Series” games as final tuneup for the World Cup.
