AUCKLAND : Teen star Alyssa Thompson was watching from her aunt's house when the United States beat the Netherlands in the 2019 Women's World Cup final. Now she is helping the Americans prepare for a rematch.
"In that moment, I wasn't really thinking about, 'Oh, the next one, I'm going to be at,' because it felt like so far away. But being here now is crazy to me, because I didn't think about it in the moment." "I was pretty nervous just to play my first World Cup game. But once I was on the sideline, I was kind of overcome with happiness and excitement, just because I was going into my first World Cup, and I wasn't feeling any other emotion," she said.
