United States Women's National Team coach Greg Ryan couldn't see the point of waiting any longer to name the majority of players to comprise the team's roster for the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup to be held in five Chinese cities from Sept. 10-30. On Wednesday, Ryan announced 18 of the 21 players who will represent the United States with Kristine Lilly of Wilton heading the eight World Cup veterans named to the team.
