PARIS — Last summer, Naomi Girma introduced herself to the world at the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. She was the only field player to play every minute of last summer’s World Cup, too. — Sydney Leroux (@sydneyleroux) August 7, 2024Girma has deflected jokes about being named Secretary of Defense and questions about last year’s World Cup exit. “Last year, a lot of us were transitioning in, and now we’ve been on the national team,” Girma said in Lyon. Born a year after the 1999 World Cup, Girma has been following in the footsteps of quiet center-back leaders from Carla Overbeck to Becky Sauerbrunn, while forging her path.

The Olympic sendoff friendlies seemed to clue at an early theory: park the bus, play defense-first soccer and frustrate the United States until you find a chance to try an attack. Although having Coffey back from suspension helped toward that end, the United States was still thin in central areas. Berger and Naeher were both instrumental in keeping the score 0-0 throughout regulation, Berger moreso given the United States’ stronger attacking presence. Tournament Naeher is a different beast from any other level of her play. The United States heads to its first Olympic women’s gold medal match since the 2012 London Games.

CNN —While the US team has endured an underwhelming group stage at the Women’s World Cup, one positive for the defending champion has been defender Naomi Girma’s form. RepresentationGirma juggled her soccer career while also studying at Stanford, where she majored in management science and engineering. She was also a three-time team captain (2019-21) for Stanford’s soccer team. “It was a way for a lot of my parents’ generation and also me and my brother’s generation, who were all first-generation Americans, to get together and have a community,” Girma said. “Just playing for the US is a huge honor and getting to compete together with this incredible group of women,” she said.
