In 2019, the U.S. WNT won its fourth World Cup title. I was fortunate to be on board for the entire journey and captured thousands of images. I’m pleased to share with you my favorite 19 from a year in which the team captures world glory. These images are a selection of moments - some action, some celebrations, some artistic, some historic - that span the year, and carry us forward into 2020. As always, see you on the sidelines!
