US soccer star very much a Filipina at heart
At first glance, this 5'4" female athlete does not show her Oriental roots. But when she starts talking about her grandfathers and grandmothers and her countless uncles and aunties, international soccer star Tiffany Marie Roberts sounded very much a Filipina.
Roberts, a member of the United States soccer team that won the gold medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and the Women World Cup championship team in 1999, has returned to her roots as a sports envoy promoting soccer among the Filipino youth.
