USWNT Looking to Make History in World Cup

  • Lindsey Horan is a co-captain of the USWNT, along with Alex Morgan.
  • The team is seeking to win a third-consecutive World Cup, unprecedented in both the men’s and women’s tournaments.
Kyle Robinson – Columbus Dispatch

The Women’s World Cup kicked off this morning in Australia and New Zealand, and the USWNT is attempting to do something unprecedented — win three World Cups in a row. Front Office Sports writer Doug Greenberg joins us to take a look at America’s chances to make history, as well as the record amount of money invested into this year’s tournament.

Next, we’re joined by USWNT captain Lindsey Horan — a focal point on the team that won the 2019 Women’s World Cup. Horan gives some insight into what it’s like to play for a World Cup, the state of professional women’s soccer internationally, and how the NWSL can keep up with European Leagues.
