Have a year, Alyssa Thompson – only 18, the No. 1 overall pick by Angel City FC and recent Harvard-Westlake grad is the second-youngest player in USWNT history.
Now, the 18-year-old is headed to her first FIFA World Cup.
Along the way, she said she’s not only gained confidence, but she’s learning to lean on the advice of her veteran teammates. Thompson is the youngest on the roster and the second youngest to ever make the U.S. World Cup roster, joining current assistant coach Tiffany Sahaydak , who was also 18 for the 1995 World Cup.
“Her creativity on the field and the things that she does on the field is so hard to track because you never know what she’s going to do,” USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski said. “Whether it is going to be a 1-on-1, 1-on-2 or give and go or shot left foot, right foot … she’s very hard to track or prepare for.
