FT Mexico 4:0 China Janae Gonzalez scored her 2nd of the tournament in the 42nd Playing time for the Yanks: Flores (90') Rodriguez (90') Crowther (90' + yellow card) Eva Gonzalez (86') Janae Gonzalez (90') Villalobos DNP Alvarado (90' & another clean sheet) Mexico has qualified for the next round with 6 points in two matches.
I stumbled on a web site that appears to be a clearing house for available pro players and found this player: Nicole McClure Main Position: Goalkeeper Birthday: 16.11.1989 Playing Foot: Right Size: 170 cm / 5'6'' Citizenship: United States Second Citizenship: Jamaica Her current team appears to be Östersunds DFF in Sweden. I did find she had played with Jamaica's U20 squad when she was a college frosh back in about 2009, but haven't found much more. The funny thing is that several of her bios say she was born in Jamaica and others say in Jamaica, Queens. http://cwfootball.net/players.php?action=show_player_details&player_id=225&page=3
Starting line for Mexico U17s tonight: Alvarado, Flores, Bernal, K. Rodríguez, E. González, J. González, Huerta, Cruz, Crowther, M. Rodríguez, Salazar
Mexico lost 3:0 to Nigeria and faces Japan in the knockout round. All the Yanks went 90' except for J. Gonzalez, who came out in the 80th. Crowther picked up a yellow card. The North Americans could have equalised almost immediately, but Jacqueline Crowther struck the post with an awkward effort after the goalkeeper had been caught out of position. Crowther was invariably involved in Mexico’s dangerous moments in attack and the tall blond attacker narrowly came close to getting El Tri on the board on several occasions, but Nigeria were always comfortable winners. That yellow is the second of the tournament for Crowther, so I assume she will miss the match against Japan.
Mexico vs. Japan in the 2nd round: Alineación de México: Alvarado, Flores, Bernal, Rodríguez, E. González, J. González, Huerta, Cruz, Crowther, Martínez y Salazar All the Yanks played 90' except J. Gonzalez who came out in the 84th. Looks like Crowther picked up another yellow (guess she wasn't suspended for YC accumulation for this match, after all). Final: Japan 2:0 Mexico For the tournament, all the Yanks but Villalobos got game time. Goals: Janae Gonzalez: 2 goals, 1 assist Jacqueline Crowther: 1 goal

The FMF has called the U20s into camp and it looks like they will be playing Marquette and Notre Dame in friendlies next week. Only a couple of obvious US based players (Jocelyn Marie Orejel & Jazmin Aguas), plus U17 keeper Emily Alvarado has been called in to join the older ladies.
From FMF (translated of course): Did you know that... Janae González had the chance to wear the USA shirt, but decided to act and defend the jersey of Mexico. "I started with the United States Olympic Development Program and was going to train with them and trained some times there, but to get away and play for a national team my first choice was Mexico, because they had better options and more believed in me" Janae was not feeling the pressure to score goals, but managed to score the best goal of the Costa Rica 2014 World Cup. "I don't feel the pressure to score goals, but I want to create goal chances."
From the current FMF U20 camp (with a Facebook translation): This morning the women's selection U20 face Pumas team women's as part of their preparation course to Canada 2014 World Cup. Our selection U20 defeated Pumas with a score of 4-2, the scorers from our selection in the 1st half were Carolina Jaramillo 2' and Lizbeth Ángeles 20' and in the second half, with a doublet, Jazmin Aguas scored at the min. 59' and 64'.
UEFA WWC qualifier today: Malta 0-2 Israel Merav Shamir played 90 + clean sheet Sarah Friedman, entered in the 61st
Did she change her name? I see "Diana Bar Oz" but I couldn't do a quick confirmation it was the same person. http://www.uefa.com/womensworldcup/season=2015/matches/round=2000433/match=2011931/index.html ETA: I found this on her Facebook fan page: Diana Redman - Bar Oz (born July 2, 1984) is a central midfielder for the Women’s Israel National Team
In other UEFA WWC qualifying today: Portugal: Adriana Rodrigues played 14 minutes Ireland: Fiona O'Sullivan played 90 and scored a goal
I'm guessing this is Richie Menjivar's sister: Elba Menjivar Height: 4-11 Class: SR Position: F/MF Hometown: Panorama City, Calif. Previous School: Cerritos College (Calif.) http://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/8/14/693.php She has been called up by El Salvador for a friendly against Guatemala. http://www.concacaf.com/article/el-salvador-to-host-guatemala-in-womens-friendly According to this site, she was born in the US (like her brother): http://www.mocavo.com/Elba-Menjivar-California-Birth-Record-Index-1905-1995/13451692928888932702
Also called into camp for El Salvador: Robinette Bernice Ramirez Casamalhuapa She went to HS in California and played for two US JCs. I can't find much on her since she was at Peirce CC in the Fall of 2011. Couldn't confirm citizenship.
BostonRed, I'm giving a rep just to say thanks for all the work you put into this thread! I've enjoyed learning about some players that I'd probably never have heard about otherwise.
Nope. Her last appearance had to be back in 2010 or 2011. Rosa went a long-time without call ups, but I think she was one of the girls along with Debora on Jorge's blacklist. Leah isn't that good. I'd put Calan over her as a defender for Brasil, and Calan is VERY borderline for a spot on a 23 women roster. http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/57363611/22312-57363677/45335250.html Listed as MF but would be a DB for Brasil.
Well, we know where she is now: .@CharlotteEagles announced addition of offensive powerhouses Leah Fortune & Kyele Bridel. http://t.co/wNpt96ng9C pic.twitter.com/zFV2wK2PIY— USL W League (@USLWLeague) May 14, 2014
Equalizer provides us with a profile on a new player: Helenna Hercigonja-Moulton Born in LA (Jamaican father, Croatian mother) Croatia Defender http://equalizersoccer.com/2014/05/...-moulton-croatia-womens-soccer-national-team/ Has been playing with the U17s & U19s and now the national team. Has played in 5 matches in this year's WWC qualifying round, scoring one goal and giving up a couple of OGs against Germany. Looks like she also played 4 matches in Euro qualifying. She decided to go to college in Croatia. Another article: http://dinamozagrebacademyusa.com/helenna-hercigonja-moulton/ It might seem unusual for promising American-born women soccer players to leave the U.S., which is currently the strongest women’s national football team FIFA rankings (U.S.A. is ranked #1) and play abroad, but Helenna is not the only member of the Croatian side to do this. Unfortunately, that article doesn't go on to tell us who these players are (though I think I have 4 other Yank women in the Croatian pool).
Helenna has done a YouTube video series on herself: Here's the complete roster of episodes: http://hellaoffsides.com/
First call in the Italian NT for Veronica Napoli, in the friendly tournament against Abu Dhabi and Bahrein WNT that is going to be played in Firenze! The italo-USA player had a very good season, scoring 17 goals in 30 matches with Verona, that ended championship in 4th place, and is still competing in Coppa Italia. Here is a file of the player, when she still played in USA, that confirms her double passport: http://www.cwfootball.net/players.php?action=show_player_details&player_id=140&page=8 P.S. For those matches has been called GK Arianna Criscione too.
