Glamour: U.S. Women’s Soccer Team: What Success Looks Like Now
When they take the field at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada starting June 6, the U.S. Women’s Soccer team—including (pictured below, from left) captain Christie Rampone, 39, and players Sydney Leroux, 25, Christen Press, 26, Abby Wambach, 34, and Morgan Brian, 22—is favored to take home the trophy. After all, they are loaded with experience (it will be Rampone’s fifth World Cup) and scoring precision (Wambach holds the world record for most goals, for a male or female). But it’s their teamwork that really sings: “We’re always fighting for each other,” says Rampone. “We want everybody to be happy and successful. You look at your teammate and you’re just like, I’m not letting her down.”
