Thorns FC's Tobin Heath earns 5-star skill rating in EA SPORTS' FIFA 16

Tobin Heath, USWNT vs. Costa Rica, 8.16.15

By now, it's no secret that women's soccer is appearing in EA SPORTS' FIFA 16, the latest version of the EA Sports bestselling game, and that Thorns FC will have three of its players--Alex Morgan, Christine Sinclair and Steph Catley--on the respective covers of the U.S., Canada, and Australia versions.


But did you know that Thorns FC and U.S. Women's National Team midfielder Tobin Heath is one of only two women in the game to have five-star skill moves?


Heath joins Brazilian star Marta – along with male stars like Christiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery, among others – on the list of players with access to every and all skill moves in the game. A fitting tribute to a player who showed off those skills on the biggest stage imaginable this past summer.


You can play as Heath and the rest of her U.S. teammates right now through the FIFA 16 demo, available here. Replay this summer's scintillating semifinal match between the U.S. and Germany and see if you can put one past goalkeeper Nadine Angerer.
