The USWNT roster was released earlier this week, and while the US Soccer Federation would’ve hoped that some star players would sit, they got the proper sendoff they deserved. Four of the five players on this list are going to the World Cup and putting together some virtuoso performances before leaving to play for their countries. Without further ado, let’s review the best women’s soccer goals from another enthralling week of the NWSL.
5. Ashley Sanchez – Washington Spirit

Ashley Sanchez is going to Australia/New Zealand and could be a key member of the USWNT off the bench. It’s quite the luxury to have a player scoring goals like this to bring into the game in a pinch.
Her ability to work in tight spaces with close coverage is one of the things that makes her special. Notice the crowd of defenders doesn’t rattle her one bit. Sanchez took a quick touch and caressed the ball into the top corner from inside the box. That’s a tough finish, but she makes it look easy.
4. Debinha – Kansas City Current
