Why Julie Ertz ranks #102 in Football
Julie Ertz ranks 102nd among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 170th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 92, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2013–2023 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2019, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 2, us player of the year awards 2, olympic medals 1, united states caps 123.
Immediately ahead sits Brandi Chastain on 87.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Birgit Prinz on 87.0. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
