The 18-man roster for the United States women’s national soccer team was announced on Wednesday.

Veterans Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd were among the names mentioned in the announcement of Ted Lasso Also present are Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt, both dressed as their characters Ted Lasso and Coach Beard respectively.

Noticeably missing from the 2020 team were Orlando Pride captains Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris, who were on the 2015 and 2019 world champion teams. (Neither of them won an Olympic medal with the USWNT.)

On Wednesday, Harris, 35, posted a statement on Instagram. “To say I'm not disappointed would be a massive understatement. The last few months have been extremely difficult, but I've gotten through them with hard work, grace and joy off the field,” the goalkeeper wrote.

“I may not be going to Tokyo, but I promise I won gold on February 12th when my daughter was born. Sloane has brought so much joy to me and my wife that it's hard to be sad on days like this. When I come home from training and see the smile on her face, I realise I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. I just want to wish the team and staff all the best,” she concluded.
