Top five USWNT female players who really deserve more time at SheBelieves Cup.

USWNT will remain competitive no matter who is playing but these five USWNT players really deserve more minutes and the SheBelieves Cup is the perfect opportunity for USWNT to get an extended look at them.

With that in mind, USWNT head coach Jill Ellis has opted to rotate her players during the tournament. While having a deep roster is important for USWNT’s success, there are five key players who have been overlooked and deserve more time on the pitch. These players include:

• Julie Ertz - Solidifying her role in USWNT’s core group, Ertz is a defensive stalwart and leader.

• Tobin Heath - Despite her lack of minutes, Heath has shown why she is an important part of USWNT’s attack with her game changing plays.

• Lindsey Horan - After flourishing as an attacking midfielder, Horan is USWNT’s strongest link in midfield.

• Alex Morgan - USWNT’s all-time leading scorer, Morgan is still a key figure for USWNT and her presence on the field has been missed.

• Megan Rapinoe - USWNT’s captain and leader, Rapinoe’s experience and skill on the pitch is invaluable.

It is clear USWNT has a lot of depth but these five USWNT players bring something special to USWNT’s attack and defense which deserves to be rewarded with more time at SheBelieves Cup.
