go subscribe what up guys lets get straight
into Becky Sauerbrunn is the best defender
in the women's game and has been for the past
decade she could go down as the best defender
in the history of women's football her accolades
in the game no defender comes close 2 World
Cups, 1 Olympic gold medal, 2 NWSL titles
and 3 Concacaf Women's Championships it's
crazy mind boggling she's hardly mentioned
because she plays over in America where only
lies the best league in the world but shh
don't tell the media because if it's not in
Europe it doesn't matter the NWSL has been
the best league in the world since forever
it provides the toughest competition and whoever
wants to come at me it's not i'm ready in
the comments when you are literally most NWSL
teams could go to any European league and
challenge for the title there check this out
Becky Sauerbrunn has been the NWSL defender
of the year 4 times no defender has been in
more she's also been in the NWSL team of the
season 7 times in a row since the league's
introduction in 2013 she was a starter at
the 2015 World Cup which the US won a started
at the 2019 World Cup which the US won a starter
for FC Kansas City's 2 NWSL titles in a row and a starter
at the 2012 Olympics on route to Gold
All of that being USA's best defender and
she hasn't been included in a FIFPro team
of the year but I'm not surprised because
the voting can be a bit shady if it isn't
a World Cup year or an Olympic year players
that play in the NWSL stand very little chance
of being picked over European based players
in a FIFPro XI example in 2017 Alex Morgan
was the only US international that got picked
for FIFPro's XI why because she played in
Europe there's a bit of favouritism towards
European based players and the NWSL clearly
gets ignored when it's not a World Cup or
an Olympic year it's unfortunate because arguably
the best defender in the history of women's
football has never made an appearance in FIFPro's
XI and she isn't getting any younger so the
chances of her being in a FIFPro Xi are very
slim unfortunately people will mention Wendie
Renard as being the best defender because
she plays over in Europe and has won 7 Champions
League titles but you give 2 World Cups and
an Olympic Gold medal it trumps what most
footballers have won in the women's game +
she's won 2 league titles in the best league
in the world the NWSL which has always been
much more competitive than any European league
and the UEFA Women's Champions League too
Becky's a monster a savage in the UWSNT backline
and for her club not only is she a great defender
but she's exceptional with the ball at her
feet wherever she plays you have a good chance
of winning silverware and it's no wonder Portland
Thorns picked her up Becky Sauerbrunn says
"I think I kind of have always run under the
radar" and it's true because the position
she plays doesn't allow her to receive the
plaudits and praise as much as a striker or
midfielder even but here I am trying to let
the women's football world know who the best
is when it's the big games she steps up she's
a leader a contributor and a vital asset to
US football as a whole a player that's always
been present and ready to give her all that's
my captain America or captain Marvel yeah
we'll go with Captain Marvel at the end of
the day if they won't give Becky the respect
she deserves her trophy haul and medal collection
can do the talking and that's what really
matters she's truly USA's unsung hero
