Chasing a World Cup Dream with @sydneyleroux

She might be one of the world’s top soccer players, but off the field and on Instagram, Sydney Leroux (@sydneyleroux) likes to keep it light. “I want people to know that I like to have fun,” she says. “And no matter what your life looks like from the outside, pictures are a way to let people in and let people see that you are very normal. Except sometimes maybe I’m not so normal, but that’s part of the fun.”

Sixteen years ago, when she was just a little girl, Sydney watched on television as the US team won the 1999 Women’s World Cup. Now she and her teammates on the US Women’s national soccer team are three victories away from another title. “Now that you are here, you look back and say that everything was worth it,” says Sydney.

The US team faces China in one of today’s quarterfinal matchups. The winner will advance to the semifinals to play against either France or Germany next week. The final will be held July 5.
