Morgan Brian is still in high demand despite her outstanding performance at the Olympics. Ali Krieger, however, has fallen out favor. Her last news was that she made the squad. She was out with injuries for two more years. One question mark on the roster is the goalkeeper. Ellis has had three different goalkeepers this year. We will find out soon enough. The other four names on the roster are still unknown.
Tierna Davidson
As the youngest player on the USWNT World Cup roster, Tierna Davidson is a great pick for this summer's tournament. The Chicago Red Stars' first round draft pick is a centre back with a playmaker mentality. Davidson won the national championship with Stanford in 2017 and was drafted by the Chicago Red Stars in the same year. Davidson has now started full training after playing 90 minutes in 2018 for the USWNT.
Ali Krieger
Ali Krieger, U.S. Women's National Team defender, has been announced as part of the roster for 2019 World Cup. She has three international caps and was part of the best defensive performance for the team in 2015. The U.S. WNT back line was able to stop its opponents scoring just three goals in five games during 2015. Krieger played five straight shutouts in the World Cup's second-round match. She won two games-winning penalty kicks against Brazil in 2011, and helped the U.S. WNT to reach the final against Japan. She played in all 600 minutes of that tournament.
Carli Lloyd
It's not surprising Carli Lloyd is a member of the USWNT international cup roster. The 39-year-old is an American soccer legend. She is the American player with the highest score and is also the oldest on the roster. Her goals and assists have helped the USWNT reach the final of three consecutive World Cups, most recently the 2015 tournament in France. Her career is not yet over.
Tierna Mewis
Mewis has appeared 47 times for the U.S. team, after she won her first U.S. woman's national team title in 2014. Mewis has been an alternate for the 2016 Olympic team and has scored nine goals. Mewis, although still young, is an extremely talented player. She is an excellent midfielder option for the USWNT. Her skill and experience will be very valuable as the team prepares the World Cup.
Casey Short
Although it isn't the most glamorous position in women's soccer but Casey Short is an important player on the USWNT roster. She has contributed a lot to the team and earned more than many professional women's football players. Christen, a fellow soccer player, put it this way: "I'm very proud to Casey."
Chelsea O'Hara
Chelsea O'Hara may be a former winger but she is one the most talented fullbacks within the USWNT. O'Hara, who has been playing in 115 matches for USWNT since 2004, including U-16 and senior teams. She has also scored 37 national team goals. O'Hara has had limited playing time this year, making two substitute appearances for the Utah Royals FC. However, she is a World Cup veteran as she was a key part of the team’s 2015 title run.
