U.S. players Andi Sullivan and Emily Fox, two of the ten U.S. players who have ties to the D.C. area, are both probable starters for the squad's Group E opener against Vietnam at the women's World Cup.
“At that moment — and it wasn’t too long ago — I thought this team is amazing,” the Ashburn native said. “I want to be there.”
“I try not to go there mentally because I’m trying to focus on the task at hand,” Sullivan said of making the World Cup roster. “But I do think perspective is helpful, especially when things are stressful or you have an off-day. You’re like, ‘Okay, I’m living my dream, and how many people can say that? I’m living my dream at the highest level there is for the game.’”Ten of the 23 U.S. players have ties to the D.C. area, most as current or former Washington Spirit players.
Because of a 2½-year age difference, they did not cross paths in youth soccer. Sullivan then starred at Stanford, where she won the 2017 Hermann Trophy as the nation’s best player. Fox excelled at North Carolina. They are among 14 U.S. players preparing for their first World Cup, the most since the 1991 inaugural tournament. Sullivan is hardly an international novice, though; she debuted with the U.S. squad in 2016, while a junior at Stanford, and has been a fixture in the lineup for most of the past two years.
