Women's World Cup team from Philippines has American flavor

For a nation more than 7,000 miles from the United States, the Philippines boasts a women’s national soccer team with a decidedly American feel. Of the 23 names on its Women’s World Cup roster, 18 belong to U.S.-born women. One of them, defender Hali Long, was born in Cape Girardeau and raised in a Filipino, or Pinoy, household.
