USWNT stock watch: Alyssa Thompson leads way on USA soccer talents who impressed; Did anyone take a step back?

So many young, talented players were able to make an impact in this international window

The U.S. women's national team head coach Emma Hayes expanded the player pool in her first games post-Olympic success in October. The program recently celebrated its 2024 Paris Olympic gold medal victory during a three-match international window, beating Iceland twice and Argentina once. Several players from the Olympic roster were named to the 26-player training camp with plenty of newcomers in the mix. 

Hayes described the trio of friendlies as an opportunity to celebrate and experiment with rotations and tactics. Several players made their debut, scored their first international goals, or, in some cases, achieved both. Defender Naomi Girma keeps evolving as one of the best players in the world, and the center back added goal scorer to her resume in recent friendlies. While Sophia Smith and Mallory Swanson treated everyone to a "double-espresso" this window, how did non-starters fare?

There are just two games left in the calendar year and with a two-game series scheduled in Europe (Nov. 30 at Engand and Dec. 3 at the Netherlands), who are the players that made a case for more future call-ups into USWNT camps?
