American soccer fans have flocked to Australia and New Zealand to cheer on the US National Women’s Team as they attempt a historic “threepeat,' but not many can say they have been in the crowds as often as Jessica Malone.
New Zealand is now the 19th country Philadelphia resident, geologist and Women’s World Cup superfan Malone has visited for a soccer game. It’s also her fourth World Cup. Browsing the merchandise stand at a fanzone in the New Zealand city of Auckland, which hosted the opening match a day earlier, Malone described her hobby as “ground hopping,” or “going to as many games all over the world as possible.
“Since then, I’ve always known this was my sport,” she said. ‘Awesome place to visit’ Expectations are always high for the USWNT when the Women’s World Cup comes around, and this year is no different as the all-conquering team bids for an historic third consecutive title, dubbed a “threepeat”. And plenty of other Americans have made the trip to Auckland where the US team will take on Vietnam on Saturday morning in the city’s famed Eden Park stadium.
