her bubble braid's going to be as iconic as alex's pink headband

Lol

[@aryanadouglas417]

Frrrrr 😂

She is truly a class act. Great player and an even better human being.

just finished playing Woman's World Cup in Fifa23 with Usa and Smith scored 7 gols in all the tournament. Against Argentina WNT she scored her first, and only, hat trick, (that match on aggregate then ended 9-1 for USA) and against England WNT she made Alex Morgan s oring a hat trick. Then, on aggregate, that match (wich was the final of the tournament) ended with USA 5 and England 1. She is incredible. She really is strong and Portland Thorns is lucky to have such a player.

wont even sing or place hand over heart for the national anthem????

Class act? You are kidding. You must be a LIBERAL.

Driving 3 hours for practice everyday is a different kinda work ethic 🔥

[@417romeo]

She didn't do the driving.. The parents deserve a lot of credit..

[@JoseLopez-xx4wn]

Watching this and watching her score two first goals in the World Cup…priceless! Wish you the best !

[@accobra4272]

I wish them to lose every game

[@ryaneden1187]

Do you want US to lose every game or some thing else to lose game?😮

[@ryaneden1187]

What does that mean?

[@accobra4272]

@ryaneden1187 well now to lose vs Sweden

[@ra4811]

Thank you for these biographies. Well done. Our nat'l team is looking terrific and hopefully Sophia will be a regular starter for World Cup. Thanks to Sophia's parents too. Great talent thrives with great support. WooHoo!! It's a fantastic time to be a football fan.

[@jat3720]

Sophia is going to be a force in women’s soccer for years to come! So fun to watch her work. ⚽ 🥇

[@Penaltypessighost]

hahaha he said soccer. every body laugh HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@c.m.redhouse7667]

They need to remove her from USWNT. She is a disgrace. Poor little Sophie, got her feeling hurt...so now she just won't stand for the National Anthem.

DUDES…😳‼️‼️‼️ She’ll be lucky 🍀 if they let her play for Team “anti-USA” in the upcoming 2024 Games of the XXXIIIrd Summer Olympiad in Paris, France 🇫🇷 (I HOPE I was specific enough there as to the next major USWNST appearance on the Global Stage…😂!!!)‼️‼️

[@meguminishimura1891]

Her maturity at this age is just amazing to witness. I basically cried through the whole thing, must be getting old or something!! The USWNT has such exciting young players and I wish nothing but the best for them.

[@T.R.75]

cant like this enough, ty 4 making and posting it for all us fans. the look behind the curtain at the sacrifice and effort these young ladies have put into reaching for their dreams is so very inspiring. looking forward to more. its been a pleasure watching Sophia play for club and country.

[@jonloftness5210]

I had the pleasure of watching Sophia and Colorado Real play against my daughter and her team, Sporting Blue Valley, while in the U.S. Development Academy. While I always encourage young women to work hard for what you want, Sophia is truly at another level. Couple that with Sophia being an awesome person is like hitting the jackpot. All the best Sophia, and congratulations to her parents for all their support over her formative years.

[@johnzimpelman9018]

I've had the honor of watching her play in many Thorns games and truly marvelous that she is the league MVP.and finals MVP! Sophie Smith is the present and future of the USWNT.

[@kinley9541]

she is honestly just an amazing player and person. im 14 and i play soccer my ultimate goal is to be as amazing as her. ive always wanted to go pro i jus need a lil push that will help me reach my full potential

[@burninglightwotcc5266]

Shot out to the parents and their support. True devotion right there, from the whole family

[@Summer_S97]

If I could meet one soccer player it would probably be her, she seems so kind ❤

[@user-wg8tw6qz7y]

I agree

[@brioquery]

Love the way she celebrated her first international goal - such child like joy.

[@mustang4life]

Such a PHENOMENAL young Lady with unlimited potential, as this is one Yank who can’t wait to witness all you will achieve in your career. Godspeed. 🍻🇺🇸✊🏻🇺🇸🍻

[@marcdavis4509]

Great family, great coach great story!

[@danielszeliga4408]

Sophia, I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your undying work ethic and attitude. You're an inspiration out there every single time I see you. Just pure excitement. You, and then MalPal returning better than ever made me love this team again. Thanks so much! Best Always! ❤

[@chelsrsmith7150]

U are the best forward these moment with your teams and the National Teams, she's technically, physically, tactically strong and she's scoring goals any positions she's facing. I wished u all the best to move forward with your game

[@Emmyj225]

I met Sophia smith in Portland, she is so nice and greatful for everything, such an inspiration 😊

[@BridgeCityPassages]

Sophia Smith is handing out assists when she isnt scoring hat tricks. Its amazing to watch this athlete compete.

[@rodmarin3323]

The results of a committed person to succeed in a dream of a lifetime. Kudos to the parents as well.

[@gabrielladelgado4280]

watched her from her college playing to how she is now is just amazing

[@helenharris9698]

Sophia and Mallory are very similar. Players. When I watch Sophia on the PITCH, I often pause because it's like I'm watching Barry Sanders all over again. The way she stops on a dime, then does her high dribble/cut, is ridiculous. She deserves all the awards and recognition she gets. Sophia is a cold blooded baller. As she steps on the PITCH, the bar is set high on both sides. In my mind, Sophia and Mallory are already Hall of Famers. They are the joy, strength, and epitome of their sport(Ambassadors).

[@bloxxplayeryt2305]

(P.s I am a forward and have inspiration on Sophia Smith My parents said soccer is for boys and I should play tennis badminton and volleyball) had 25 goals in total in practice and club

[@OthelloMarcAnderson]

Hey Sophia, spoke with Riv and she agreed, if you felt something on your ring finger that was me, if you’re interested you’re invited and welcomed in!!! You caught my attention when World Cup was happening, I chose to move slow from then to be genuine and authentic, I’m not a fair weather (want to say fan but I suppose husband is more accurate but I’ll just say) man. I hope you and Trinity get along, well you’re both gonna if you want in our world!!! Keep shining, I’m sorry I took so long but having seen this it makes perfect sense for you to be fast tracked in!!!

[@Donald-Putin]

Sophia is a class act, excellent.

[@drewjoaquin4761]

It's so hard for me to choose. I'm an American citizen, but have lived in Canada 95% of my life, so I normally cheer for Team Canada. BUT, Sophie and Mal are such wonderful players to watch, it makes it hard not to cheer for USA as well. Not to mention that Rapinoe is my all-time favorite player. Well, I guess Go Team Canada and Team USA!!!

This girl has it all. She reminds me of Marta of Brazil in her prime. The unfortunate thing is the Ballon 'D'or or FIFA best player award is biased towards players of European clubs these days, unless she wins a World Cup with her national team.

Umm.. I was told names when playing soccer (football) with classmates and also they said " Hey Princess Smirkle Your bad at everything "I even have a dream to join the Philippine women's national team and they said i should stop although I was trying my best they said I can't qualify for my nationalitys team because I am bad ( Yes my name is Princess in Philippines and Eunice in the Bible) I also am a fan of Sophia Smith and USWNT I am glad that my favorite teams qualified for 2023 world cup

Great video!! That drive from Ft Collins to Denver, I know it well...every day for years? OMG, just so taxing and boring.

[@ryaneden1187]

When you and your amazing team tied second against Portugal, I think you where saving The US. I also think that because 14 other players are still new to the team and others are not new… the rhythm of the passing is off because of the new players they are used to a different rhythm of passing and the players that are not so new are expecting something a little bit different in the new players. would you agree?😊
