The men’s national team of the United States is preparing for a crucial World Cup match as they try to make history.
Their thrilling 1-0 victory over Iran was enough to secure a spot in Group B’s second place team, behind England. As a result, they will play Group A champions Netherlands at the Khalifa International Stadium in the opening round of the competition.
With a victory, Gregg Berhalter’s team would advance to the quarterfinals, where they would play either Argentina or Australia, for the first time since 2002. And supporting the ebullient young stars of the US are their wives and girlfriends, who undoubtedly compete favourably with their English counterparts.
Ashley Herron
At the World Cup, Matt Turner is presently dominating. In three games, the Arsenal goalie has let up just one goal while maintaining two clean sheets.
Perhaps it helps that his wife Ashley Herron, a stunning NFL cheerleader who performed at the 2017 Super Bowl, is cheering him on from the stands.
Ashley married the shot-stopper in May of this year. She is a multi-talented marketing manager and the founder of a non-profit that assists families affected by breast cancer. On June 29, they gave birth to a boy they named Easton Atwood Turner.
Marissa Horton
Goalkeeper Sean Johnson is dating Washington, DC, native and petite bombshell Marissa Horton, who now resides with the New York City star. She is a well-known dancer who has even taken the stage with the Radio City Rockettes, a famous annual Broadway holiday production.
They started dating in 2014 and frequently post Instagram photos of each other. “Happy Valentine’s Day to this lovely and talented queen that holds me down,” smitten Sean wrote back in February.
Elise Hansen
One of the current US team’s veterans, defender Aaron Long, first met his future wife Elise Hansen in the early 2010s. Up until 2021, Elise worked as an executive assistant at the New York City office of business management consulting firm FTV Capital. It’s unknown what she does now.
After giving birth to a daughter with Hansen in June 2020, the New York Red Bulls player got married in December 2021.
