‘Borderline Arrogant’ Alyssa Thompson Is Ready For The Moment

Alyssa Thompson attended Angel City practice last Saturday like it was any other day for the teenager turned professional soccer player.

However, by the time she heading home, US Soccer was making arrangements to bring her to St. Louis in time to meetup with the rest of the USWNT roster.

Mal Swanson’s unfortunate injury — a patella tendon tear suffered late in the first half vs Ireland — required an immediate roster replacement and a potential opening on the World Cup roster after this window.
