She’s probably a top 5 player for the USWNT. But I’ve always thought she was more a product of the talent of the players around her. She’s always seemed to play as if she has more individual talent than she actually has, and holds the ball too long.

She has also set the USSF back decades with her equal pay bullshite. I don’t doubt that played into the rehiring of Gregg, and it is going to hamstring our men’s team during possibly the last time I’ll get to see our team play a World Cup on home soil.

She wouldn't make the all time USWNT by any objective measure. The forwards would be Wambach, A-Mo, Hamm, Lloyd, Milbrett (and that's if you count Lilly and Chastain as other positions).

Current players, Press is clearly better at the same position. Lavelle and Ertz are better in real time and young up and comers like Rodman are more valuable.

No way.

She's barely even top 5 defenders
