The Tokyo Olympics 2020 saw the USWNT’s dominance coming to an abrupt end. After their prominence in Women’s Soccer for the past decade or so, an inevitable rebuilding process is now on the cards. After winning the last two World Cups in 2015 and 2019, the USWNT will look to wrap up a three-peat when Australia/New Zealand will host the 2023 Women’s World Cup. In the meantime, US soccer sensation Alex Morgan talked about the impact Carli Lloyd and Megan Rapinoe have on their squad, as the duo approach retirement.

Alex Morgan opens up on USWNT’s future problems

Carli Lloyd announced her retirement from USWNT earlier this year. Thus, her remarkable career ends, having led the line for a long time. Likewise, Megan Rapinoe will take a break from the squad to gather her thoughts on her current position. Hence, Morgan spoke about the influence of these colossal leaders in the dressing room.

“Those are huge players. Not only huge players at the moment, like big-time players but actually vocal players. They’re players who lead by example, players who have really taken on this team as who they are and done everything for this team for 10, 15 years.”

The upcoming stars and veterans on the team

In the absence of both the aforementioned players, Morgan will be their most accomplished campaigner from now on. Along with her, head coach Vlatko Andonovski will continue to drive the team from the forefront. Tobin Heath and Christen Press are other leaders who can step up for the national team. Sophia Smith and Mallory Pugh are players that have done well in their clubs, and earned an international call-up from USWNT.

Despite having a plethora of talents in the country, fans cannot underestimate the influence of Lloyd and Rapinoe. The duo is incredible and Alex Morgan knows their absence is going to be an issue in the future.
