[edit] Biography
Wagner, who has special playmaking talents that can slice open opposing defenses, is one of the best passing midfielders in U.S. history. Wagner is perhaps as fit as she’s ever been and maybe the fittest player on the U.S. team. She has 38 assists in her career, good for sixth all-time, and earned her 100th cap for the USA against Canada on July 30, 2006. She also has 21 goals in her 112 games, showing she can put the ball in the net as well. Able to pass and shoot equally well with both feet, Wagner presents a clear and present danger to any defense. She is constantly probing for openings to send the dangerous U.S. strikers into the penalty area, as well as working hard for space to fire long range shots on goal. Wagner started the first three matches at the Olympics and came off the bench in the semifinal for the injured Julie Foudy, putting in 55 minutes of valuable work in helping the USA advance to the title game.
