Rodman shared a picture with Swanson on her Instagram account and penned a heartfelt birthday wish. She expressed her love for Swanson and remarked about missing her senior teammate. She wrote:

On the other hand, Trinity Rodman competed in four games for the Washington Spirit in NWSL. They are in the third position currently in the table.
Trinity Rodman shares her feelings after an impressive outing for the national side against Brazil
Trinity Rodman shared her thoughts after an impressive performance against Brazil during the Women's International Friendly match earlier this month (April 6). Rodman scored the first goal for the USWNT in the first half of the contest and eventually helped her side to a win.
In a post-match interview, Rodman hailed her leadership qualities on the pitch and said that her aggressive gameplay is a major factor behind this trait of hers. She said (via ESPN):
"My leadership comes from the way that I play and how aggressive that I [am], but also just the energy that I provide. I think I try to embed in this team that you lock in at the right moments, but you can also kind of have fun and be a human at different moments."
Just a couple of days after this defeat, Brazil replied with a 2-1 win against the USWNT on April 9.
