Sam Mewis (right) helped USA win the 2019 World Cup, beating hosts France at the quarter-final stageUnited States midfielder and 2019 World Cup winner Sam Mewis says joining Manchester City "is like winning the lottery". Mewis has played 67 times for her country and featured regularly during last year's World Cup, starting the 2-0 final win over the Netherlands in Lyon. "I thought it would be cool to play overseas one day and for a club like Manchester City. 'I will have to earn my stripes'Mewis follows in the footsteps of her USA team-mate Carli Lloyd, who had a short spell with Manchester City in 2017. There is no doubting Mewis' pedigree either - she is a World Cup winner and the general feeling is that there is still more to come from her.
