#4 Becky Sauerbrunn - defender

Now 34, Sauerbrunn is not quite at the same level as a few years back, when she could make a legitimate claim as the world's best defender. But she is still an invaluable leader at the back for the USWNT, and saved some of her best displays at the World Cup for the biggest games. She may not be a starter for much longer but for now, the U.S. still counts on Sauerbrunn.
