My number-one focus now is the World Cup and then hopefully the Olympics next summer. But the schedules clashed a little bit, and the federation works a little different than the others.
So I have to choose, unfortunately. If not, then I might wait until after the Olympics. PSW: That sounds like a major difference between the U. National Team, that is my first priority right now. I dropped my life for this and this is now my focus. But yes, I wish some of the other girls would do that. AK: Yeah, it has to be if I want to stay here [in the U.
AK: Honestly, we all want to win so badly. We want to play well, we want to do the good things, we want to be better on the field and play as a team, and score goals. Bethany Balcer. Bella Bixby. Emily Fox. Sofia Huerta. Casey Murphy. Ashley Sanchez. Any surprise inclusions will naturally lead to some head-turning exclusions as well, with Casey Short and McCall Zerboni headlining that unfortunate latter category.
The year-old did not play against the Matildas, but impressed enough in training and in her start against Belgium to convince Ellis to bring her along to France. But Lloyd now has a fight on her hands with the recent rise of Jessica McDonald. McDonald did not make a USWNT appearance in until November but since then has been named to every roster, as her ability to hold up play and score the occasional goal has convinced Ellis to name her to the World Cup squad.
I think Jessica is someone who can embody and embrace that role," Ellis said. McDonald has done extremely well to break into the USWNT picture at a relatively late stage of her career, with the year-old still having just seven caps. Lloyd, on the other hand, has caps and has shown her ability to affect a game as a substitute striker, in contrast to the various midfield roles she has played for most of her career.
