Solo was also an alternate in 2004.The United States has won the last three Olympic gold medals. The team opens the tournament in Brazil against New Zealand on Aug. 3 at Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.There is nothing I want more than to win again, Lloyd told The Associated Press about the prospect of a fourth straight U.S. gold. Im going to do whatever it takes to win. I know there are loads of people out there saying that no team that has won a World Cup has gone on to win in the Olympics. I would love nothing more than to prove them wrong. It would be another dream come true.Rapinoe injured her knee during practice when the team was in Hawaii for a World Cup victory tour match, which was later called off because of the poor condition of the turf at Aloha Stadium.It had been uncertain whether shed be available to play in the Olympics. Coach Jill Ellis had just 18 roster spots, down from the 23 she had for the World Cup.Its very surreal, mostly because I have a lot of work to do now, and where I am at now is not where I am going to be in a few weeks, Rapinoe said in a statement. Going to the Olympics and representing your country is incredible, but this one is that much better. After everything I went through and the uncertainty, this one is very special.Rapinoe, forward Alex Morgan and defenders Kelley OHara and Becky Sauerbrunn will make their secoond Olympic appearance.

She will be a freshman at UCLA after the Rio Games.Weve got a great blend of players with experience at the Olympic Games and in major events along with the youthful energy of some players who did not play in the Womens World Cup last summer, Ellis said in a statement. As a coach in the Olympic Games, you want to put together a group capable of reaching the top of the podium while also being mindful of getting players prepared for the next World Cup, and I think weve done that.Lloyd returned to action this past weekend after she sprained her knee in late April during a match for her club team, the Houston Dash.
