Morgan, the tournament’s joint top scorer in 2019, is a strong candidate
England, Germany, and Spain likely to feature
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia-New Zealand has kicked off, and the race for top goalscorer is on.
On its website, FIFA lists 10 players, including Alex Morgan, as potential top scorers at the tournament.
According to FIFA, the United States’ Alex Morgan is a strong contender. Morgan has scored 121 goals in 207 A-match appearances. Her 121 goals rank seventh all-time in women’s soccer.
Morgan was the top scorer at the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France with six goals. Her six goals tied her with Megan Rapinoe and Ellen White.
Morgan, 34, led the U.S. National Women’s Soccer League with 15 goals last year. The U.S., the favorite to win the tournament, has a formidable lineup, so it’s possible that Morgan will be able to jump ahead of the competition with a big goal against Vietnam in the group stage.
Fellow U.S. player Sophia Smith is also a top scorer. Smith showed off her scoring touch last year with 11 goals in 17 A matches and 18 goals in 25 matches for Portland. Smith will use her dribbling ability to find the back of the net.
England’s Rachel Daly is the favorite to win the tournament with 30 goals in 30 games as a striker for Aston Villa. She has 13 goals in 69 A-match appearances.
Australian captain Sam Kerr is the only player in the history of women’s soccer to have been the top scorer in three different leagues on three different continents. Kerr has been the league’s top scorer seven times and has 55 goals in 72 career A matches. However, Kerr is at a disadvantage as he missed the first leg of the group stage with a leg injury.
Germany’s Alex Pope is considered one of the most accomplished strikers of all time. Pope scored six goals in the last UEFA Women’s Euro 5 to lead Germany to a runner-up finish. She was also the top scorer in the German Bundesliga in May.
Spain’s Ester Gonzalez has proven her scoring prowess with Real Madrid. Esther Gonzalez will have plenty of scoring opportunities as she receives passes from her talented teammates, including Aitana Bonmati, Alexia Putejas, and Salma Parajuelo.
Spain’s Henrifer Hermoso is also a prolific goal scorer who has already won the top scorer award in her country’s league five times. He last played for Barcelona in the 2020-2021 season, scoring an incredible 37 goals in 36 games.
Spain’s Alba Redondo was also a hero for Levante last season, leading the Spanish league with 27 goals in 30 games. Redondo ended a three-year reign of Barcelona players as the league’s top scorer.
France’s Kadidiatou Diani is a goalie with great speed and tireless stamina. Last season, while playing for Paris Saint-Germain, he was the top scorer in Ligue 1.
England’s Alessia Russo played a super-sub role at last year’s Women’s Euro, coming on as a substitute and averaging a goal every 67 minutes. 카지노사이트 Rousseau scored a back-heeled goal in the Euro quarterfinal against Sweden.
