Why Lauren Holiday ranks #88 in Football
Lauren Holiday ranks 88th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 147th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 92, Statistics 88. 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 2007–2015 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, 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 1, olympic gold medals 2, usa caps 133, usa goals 24.
Immediately ahead sits Martina Voss-Tecklenburg on 87.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Anja Mittag on 87.4. 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.
