This will always be a tournament that is close to my heart and I take immense pride any time I put on the crest, Alex Morgan, via X.

In less than a month, I look forward to supporting this team and cheering them on alongside the rest of our country, Alex Morgan, via X.

I think looking through the cap accumulation of the team, there’s been a lack of development of putting players – some of the less experienced players – in positions where they can develop that experience.

And I think it’s important that we have to do that to take the next step, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.

It’s a balanced roster.

I’ve considered all the factors that we’re gonna need throughout the Olympics and (it’s) one that I’m really happy with, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.

Having a roster that could adapt is essential.

You have a tight turnaround between games so, of course, having players on the roster who can play more than one position mattered with squad depth, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference
