Allie Long makes US World Cup roster after challenging year
Posted May 12, 2019
Allie Long, a midfielder who plays with the Seattle Reign FC of the National Women’s Soccer League, has made 42 appearances with the national team since 2014 and has six goals. But she was called up only sporadically in the past year as she dealt with a lingering knee injury. So Long was considered a question mark for making the World Cup team.
