Angelina Anderson, a goalkeeper for Angel City FC, received an unexpected invitation to train with the U.S. Women's National Team after notable performances in the NWSL. Despite previous expectations for a call-up following her U-17 World Cup participation and her impressive shutout debut, it didn’t happen until now. With longtime starter Alyssa Naeher recently retiring, Anderson might have a chance to prove herself. Technical Director Mark Wilson believes in her potential and attributes, viewing her as a future top goalkeeper. The training camp, now led by coach Emma Hayes, signifies a fresh start for the national team and its goalkeeping position.
She has everything to be a world-class goalkeeper. I'm watching Angelina every day and I'm thinking 'U.S. women's team No. 1.' She has all the attributes to be one of the world's best.
It's just really an exciting time to be a young goalkeeper in the U.S. and have this kind of opportunity. My motto has recently just been 'life is fun.' This is super cool that I get to get in and do this.
