Carli Lloyd

Alyssa Thompson
Alyssa has the potential to be one of America's top young players. She has the technical skills and pace to defeat defenders. Tracey Kevins was the coach for the US women's U-20 national team.

Thompson is now part of the US national women's soccer team.

Tiffany McLeod
Recent controversy in the match between the US and Canada's women's soccer teams saw the Canadian players accuse Christiana Pedersen, the referee, of bias.

Pedersen, a former World Cup referee was not immediately available to comment.
Megan Rapinoe
