At the Algarve Cup: Ana Chevtchenko is on the roster for Russia, but didn't appear in their first match. Silvia Rebelo played 45' for Portugal against Austria. Portugal has called up University of Hartford senior Stephanie Santos, for what appears to be her first appearance with the team. I can't confirm her citizenship, but she did go to HS in the US. She was DNP in the first match.
In the 2nd game of the group stage at the Algarve Cup: Rebelio: DNP against Russia Santos: came in the 89th minute against Russia for what I think is her first cap Chevtchenko: came in the 90th minute against Portugal
Maria Zecca has been called in the U19 italian NT in the LaManga tournament: she's also writing a blog on this experience in the Charleston college website, you can find it here: http://cofcwsoc.blogspot.it/2014/03/day-1-bloggin-with-cougar-freshman.html. We have already spoken about this player sometime ago, and, although I am not 100% sure, I think she has double citizenship, since in the stats is written that she's from Weston, Massachussets.

Looks like there was a final cut before the tournament. Woodall is out, meaning only 6 Yanks on the Mexican squad, which may be a new low. https://www.facebook.com/SeleccionN...4017673/588484581237342/?type=1&stream_ref=10
Interview of Emily Alvarado at the U17 WC: http://www.fifa.com/u17womensworldcup/news/newsid=2297211/index.html Includes asking such deep questions as "What kind of boys do you like?"
Mexico's debut half in the U17 WC: Mexico Sub17 alignment: Alvarado, García, Flores, Bernal, Rodriguez, J. Gonzalez, Huerta, Cruz, Crowther, Villegas and Salazar Mexico 3: 0 Colombia End of 1st half Salazar 1' Crowther 4' J. Gonzalez 14'
FT Mexico 4:0 Colombia 90' & clean sheet for Alvarado Crowther 78' J. Gonzalez 63' Flores 90' Rodriquez 90' E. Gonzalez 34'
No, those were (all 3 of) Mexico's subs. Of the Yanks on Mexico: - started and 90': Emily Alvarado, Vanessa Flores, Kimberly Rodriguez - started and subbed out: Jaqueline Crowther 78', Janae Gonzalez 63' - subbed in: Eva Gonzales @56' (i.e. she played 34') - DNP: Briana Woodall
Thanks for clearing that up. I should have been more clear with the info. Woodall isn't on the final roster according to FIFA. But I did miss Aylin Villalobos as a Yank on the squad. She was a DNP in this match.
From the team's Facebook page (translated): Curious fact: the goal that scored Janae Gonzalez against Colombia which I celebration hoisting atop a monkey (chicharito), was dedicated to his partner and friend, Briana Woodall, who was unable to attend the World Cup due to injury.
Mexico's starting lineup for tonight against China: Mexico Sub17 alignment: E. Alvarado; M. Garcia; V. Flores; R Bernal; K. Rodriguez; E. Gonzalez; J. González; C. Huerta; B. Cruz; J. Crowther and V. Salazar
