Despite a somewhat lackluster showing by the U.S. women's national team at the 2023 Women's World Cup, goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher has been spectacular.
The U.S., meanwhile, has scored just once since its opener, has been abysmal at ball control and passing and ranks 18th in the tournament in possession. It has lacked chemistry, creativity and both the joy and arrogance that defined its championship teams — and against Sweden it also will be lacking its most dynamic midfielder in Rose Lavelle, who is suspended for too many yellow cards.
In her first year as a starter, she lost just two of 11 starts, posting six shutouts. She hasn’t lost as many as two games or posted fewer than five shutouts in any year since, finishing with a clean sheet in 60% of her 95 national team starts, the best percentage in U.S. history. She has lost just six times.
“She’s been a great leader for us back there,” Girma said. “Just having her to kind of bounce ideas off of, just communicating with me, I think she’s taken on that role really well.”
