As part of her special World Cup series, Megan talks to two-time World Cup Champion, Ali Krieger. Megan and Ali talk about the overlaps in their careers as both teammates on the USWNT and opponents in the NWSL; what it really meant to Ali to win the NWSL Championship for Gotham FC in her final year in the league; and how playing in Germany helped her discover her sexuality and voice as an advocate.
Megan also ticks through her takes on the most exciting knockout matchups over the next few days, and what it’s like when your team’s World Cup run comes to an end.
