It was Moultrie who was going to be able to dribble into the empty net if that pass found her. And it was close - like a couple inches. Who is the best player in the world now, in your opinion, if not Smith?

Your mileage may vary, but for me it’s either Putellas or Kerr. I think it’s just a matter of time before Sophia surpasses them, though.

Best player? Bonmatí was the best player at the World Cup, a level or two above any player from the Americas, but people who watch more Euro soccer than me have been picking Putellas (who didn't play much at the WC).

It's Bonmati and it's not super close for me, even without the WC recency bias.

(My semi-hot take is that she's better than Putellas ever was even before her ACL injury)
