    It seems to be varying from team to team. I know the national players on my team (philly) from the last time I checked still weren't in camp. I know some sky blue players have not joined the team in turkey.

    :eek:

    it's been noted that it's hard for a womens team against boys, even u17, because of overall speed and strength, but 7 goals is a nice number without marta and maurine. i cant wait to see wny full squad against jack with hope in net. that 1st game in rochester will be a monster. now my dream is for new jack to sign formiga in mid-field to off-set maurine and it's on.

    wps needs more owners soon like jack and sahlen for these dream teams.

    It was a good game - the ladies got off to a slow start, but built momentum throughout. It's amazing to see the speed of play up close - Christine Sinclair is very fast....deceptively fast. Adding Marta to the fold will only increase the playing speed through the front line.

    From what it looked like, the Flash ran a 4-4-2 for most of the first half, with Alex Morgan and Sinclair as the attacking forwards. In the 2nd half, I believe they switched to a 4-3-3, adding Mele French up top.

    Movement was good throughout the game. I can't wait for opening day kickoff in Rochester! :D

    Solid - very solid. Kim Brandao was substituted into the game in the 2nd half, and they didn't miss a beat. All in all, they looked like they could really move the ball around the back line and feed the midfield wings really well. I was actually surprised to see the amount of wing play - I was thinking that they might play a lot more through the middle. With that said, a very good performance through the entire roster. :D

    Sounds great! Thanks for the info.

    Was it Wilson-Chapman-Engen-Riley to start the game?

    It may have been - I got to the game, but didn't get a roster (apparently they handed some out) so I really couldn't tell who was who on the back line. I knew the ladies from last year (Brandao, French, etc.), and Morgan and Sinclair (seen them on TV before), but didn't have a great pulse on the rest. I couldn't even tell who was playing in goal at that point, and usually I key in on the goalies (having been one myself in the past).

    I mainly went to watch how they moved through the formation and how they pushed play upfield. Overall, I didn't see any concerns at the back line. I think they'll be very solid on defense. :cool:

    Since nobody reported this yet... the Flash beat Syracuse University 3-1 yesterday. Goals were from Augustine (Sitch), Wilson (Riley), and Edwards (PK).


    Starting lineup was:

    Bowers, Reed, Edwards, Brandao, Fountain, Goebel, Sitch, Zerboni, Parker, French & Augustin.

    Changes at the half :

    Flash substitutes: Wilson for Parker, Riley for Goebel, and Bock for Sitch


    The Flash play Ohio State today. I would expect a more complete lineup today with Seger, Engen, etc.

    Guess nobody mentioned the Ohio State game where the Flash tied them 1-1.


    Today the Flash played Niagara University where they won 11-0. Seger scored 5, Fountain scored 3, Goebel scored 2 and Parker scored 1.

    Well nobody said anything on here yet. Nobody else has bothered posting any of this info so I'm sorry if I'm being redundant to you.
