7 Fun Facts About Sophia Smith, USWNT's Breakout World Cup Star

In the USWNT's opening match against Vietnam, Smith scored two of the team's three goals. The team soon tweeted that she became "the second-youngest player in #USWNT history to score multiple goals in a World Cup game and the youngest since Cat Whitehill in 2003."

That said, Smith's success didn't come as a surprise to her teammates. In a video posted by the National Women's Soccer League, several other USWNT players predicted she'd be the one to notch the first goal for the team at the World Cup.
