Trinity Rodman could be poised for a breakout in her World Cup debut for the U.S. -
About a month shy of her 20th birthday, she’d scored her first goal for the U.S. women’s national team.
“I’m so honored, proud, and just excited for this opportunity,” she said. “At this age, there’s so much time to accomplish things, but to experience it this early has been so amazing, and I’m just so excited.” Born in 2002 - three years after Mia Hamm led the U.S. to a World Cup title at home - Rodman was 13 when the Americans next won. Lloyd had a hat trick in the final that year. One goal in particular stood out.
After accomplishing all that while still a teenager - and with a famous last name to boot - it’s fair to say she’s no stranger to a certain level of hype. “Trin has had a lot of expectation. I also disagree with that, and I think that’s unfair,” Parsons said. “I think that this is a 21-year-old that things are coming thick and fast. She’s taken everything in her stride. I think she’s doing a wonderful job at trying to stay focused on what is most important, which is being a good person, being a good teammate and developing as a soccer player.”
She’ll head to the World Cup as part of a U.S. team that’s trying for its third consecutive title. Lloyd is no longer on the roster, but Morgan and Megan Rapinoe are back. Rodman is one of several players going to the World Cup for the first time.
