Sophia Smith is having a blast at the Olympics, and a lot of it has to do with the U.S. team’s formidable front three.
Smith, along with Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman, are helping the United States reclaim its status as a team to be feared.
“I feel like we’re clicking really well, really fast. And I think this is only like 70% of what we can do,” Smith said. “I think the more games we get together, the more we’re going to be playing off each other and and just learning each other’s tendencies. But it’s so much fun playing with them.”
It’s a marked contrast to last year’s Women’s World Cup, when Smith left the field in Melbourne in tears after the United States was sent home early by Sweden.
