Since the beginning of this Women's World Cup, the comparisons between the US Women's National Team midfielder and the US Men's National Team midfielder has become evident. We here at The Captain's Armblog have to agree. Here's the list of startling similarities below:
- Both Midfielders
- Both born in 1985 (almost a month apart no less)
- Great with set pieces
- and crosses
- Hair has Twitter (Rapinoe's & Holden's)
- Has played for three domestic teams (if you don't count her recent transfer to magicJack)
- Or Holden being plagued with injuries during his short time at Sunderland
- Baby faces
- Blondes
- Americans (duh)
- Pale whiteys
- Crowd favorites
- Silly personalities
It's only a matter of time before they find out they have super powers and are adopted by a millionaire who wants them to blast open Witch Mountain.
