She is always a rock of Gibraltar for the United States. Maybe they should give her the nickname Stone Wall Krieger.

You can really feel it Ali Krieger

[@dr.lorismith445]

Congrats, Ali, from a 60 somethin old chick, cheering you ladies on for the games and equal pay. Ali, I didn’t have a broken leg at the same time, but I got very ill and went to sleep. I woke up somewhere in a hospital, being moved where I did not know. My oz sat was 22. I woke up 6 or 7 days later after being in a coma. I had blown clots to both lungs on top of pneumonia in both lungs. It was close. I’m thankful you recovered young lady. Now, go out and give em your customary hell.

[@zoenieberding3637]

and look at u now kween...8 Months later you are married, back in the roster for the concacaf, played to entire matches for the uswnt (by the way with the highest passes quote on the team), gave two goal assists in one half. Girl you made it! I don´t know why Jill was so dumb to kick you out of the roster back then. But look at you now..You are stronger than ever!!! love u kriegs

[@katherinenass3972]

[@2sweetchicks202]

Whoop whoop! She here! 🙂

[@Gold3nchild2323]

Kween we’ve missed you .💗

[@scooke5595]

LOVE YOU KRIEGS! The question was never if you were "good enough" it was "what the HELLLLLLLL was JILL thinking the last 2 years"!! I hope she feels regretful for not allowing you the continued opportunity to train with the team and "weed" out others this whole time. I realize she was in a "try-out" period for a long time with alternates and new faces, but COME ON!! Those folks can play the next world cup since they are rookies.

[@rosiebirrell7812]

Sarah Cooke it's Ali's 100 cap celebration at the next Uswnt game , which I think is the 3rd of October, can't wait to see Jill's face

[@k.t.h.9956]

As I am a German I was attracted by the name "Krieger". Yes, Ali is a true warrior. One of the finest in defense world-wide. Even as I do not agree with all the demands of the LGQBT community I see in her a person who promotes her livestyle in a version where you can only admire her. This is not the style " You have to love me , because I am gay/lesbian and flashy", but the the style " I am a person and this is my life". I have several gay/lesbian co-workers and I always use her as an example how to promote a personel lifestyle.....successfull!

[@glyniehall8102]

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person, you always dig deep and then go even deeper in giving it all for your team and yourself. May it be a memorable Word cup for you. #humility brings reward you have proven that. #freetobeme #findingtherealme

[@user-em3tx4si5z]

A powerful man from within Ali Krieger

[@Eagle971]

I love A.K.!

[@mp-il1tv]

You're awesome Ali! Best of luck!!!

[@luisapagano6088]

kriegs, the rock!! my favourite player.. In her first game back in uswnt, she was soo good.. so determined, fast, smart, focus.. I just love to watch her playing..

[@vanessashanahan6222]

[@Yoshii1128]

Love you Ali

[@jonathanbartron3658]

I have tears in my eyes. Ali, I'm so very proud of you and I'm absolutely thrilled that you're back. The only tattoo I've ever seriously considered getting is "Liebe" on the inside of my left forearm. I hope you have the time of your life at the WWC. P.S. Ashlyn Harris, with great respect and affection, I am soooo jealous!!

[@justme4023]

[@tosokin7206]

There are so many reasons why I wear my Krieger jerseys with pride, with the last being that she's a killer Right Back.
