USWNT COACH VLATKO ANDONOVSKI STEPS DOWN FOLLOWING SHOCKING WOMEN'S WORLD CUP EXIT: REPORTS "When I think about a World Cup, you win a World Cup in moments, moments in every single game," Horan said.

Horan then dove into the preparation for the 2023 World Cup, saying the team did not "get the best" out of every player.
