The tie that binds U.S. defender Ali Krieger and American goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris is among the strongest at the World Cup.
Many World Cup teammates have special bonds. The tie that binds U.S. defender Ali Krieger and American goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris is among the strongest at the tournament."A lot of our teammates with their partners and spouses, they don't get to be here day in and day out," Krieger said."It's really nice to be able to share this moment with her and to make these memories with her.
They first met in 2010, a time both were training with the national team. They were teammates with the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League for much of 2013-15. Harris was left unprotected in an expansion draft and was taken by the Orlando Pride, and Krieger joined her when she was traded to the Pride after the 2016 season.
Krieger grew up in Virginia and played at Penn State before turning pro, and she made her national team debut in 2008. Now 34, Krieger started all seven matches as the U.S. won the 2015 World Cup but she was dropped from the national team in 2017 while Harris continued to get called to camp. Harris provided mental support.
She returned for an exhibition against Belgium on April 7 after an absence of two years and a day, then was together with Harris on May 2 when Ellis revealed she was going to the World Cup . Krieger made her 100th international appearance versus New Zealand on May 16, remained on the bench as Kelley O'Hara played right back for last week's opening 13-0 rout of Thailand, then took over for Sunday's 3-0 victory over Chile.
