After months of speculation, international friendlies and NWSL games, the U.S. women’s national team’s World Cup roster is almost here.
The U.S. has gotten tough injury news, welcome returns and questions surrounding player form during the most recent audition phase, leaving head coach Vlatko Andonovski without clear head-to-head performances on which to base his final decisions. Andonovski has to balance international experience, positional needs and current mentality when making his final selections, and history tells us he’ll favor consistency over everything else.
With all of these factors in mind, here is what I think the final USWNT roster for the 2023 World Cup will look like.
