USWNT just played France 1-1 draw. No extra periods. Casey Short injured her ankle. Was looking good. Hope it's not serious. Boy if UCLA had gotten Mallory Pugh, UCLA versus Stanford would have been even more phenomenal. I'll have to be patient over the summer to see who Mark brings in. If past history is any indicator, I expect at least one more international! We should be better this coming year. Berkley, McFarland, Edwards and Kollanen all back from injury, plus the new girls.
My projected starting lineup for this fall. How about this for a lineup? GK Bollinger Backline left to right facing goal. Madril, Berkley, Kuikka, Carle HMF Jaelin Howell WMF Tillman Lynch or Yujie AMF Villalobos F McFarland and Castellanos???
I agree with most of your line-up, only different midfield Bollinger Madril Berk Kuikka Carle Howell Robbins Tillman Yujie McFartland Deyna FIrst subs off the bench, Lynch up top, Glory at AM, Dallas at WM, Bella at WM. Unsure about Heidi and the rest of the team.
Fun to speculate! McFar(t)land, too funny. Positively intestinal! I could live with that lineup. If Yujie can take Gloriana's place, she is special indeed! I wouldn't mind switching Gabby and Clara. Gabby made lots of beautiful runs last year, but rarely delivered the final pass or shot!
Question reminds me of something from a really funny novel I read years ago, The Night of the Avenging Blowfish. There was a softball game to be played between the Secret Service and the CIA. It was to be played on a particular night, with no lights and at an undisclosed time and place -- including undisclosed to the players.
https://floridastate.forums.rivals....e-soccer-international-trip-donations.215093/ Team is going to Europe this May. Good training and team building trip IMO. Can't hurt recruiting either, since Mark is well known as an international recruiter.
Anyone here going to the FSU/UF spring exhibition in hogtown? I MAY be going. Won't know for sure until Saturday.
Game was changed to today, Fri so I couldn't make it. Score was 1-1..... sounds like McFarland looked really good
This was posted on twitter by TopDrawerSoccer: "With 80 women's DI transfers in the works for fall of 2018, @floridastate has some of the most new blood heading their way." I knew we had some girls transfer away, was unaware of any girls transferring to FSU. Was this a misprint? Who is transferring to FSU?
Hi, guys: I know Nadeshiko Japan U-17 NT, that's in tour in USA, recently played a friendly match vs FSU that ended 2-2. As a Nadeshiko Japan fan, I want to ask if anyone watched that game and if you can tell me how Japan team looked like. Arigato gozaimasu.
CH, I don't have any idea. Got Jukes seems to be dialed in at times. Maybe he can tell us. One or two Key transfers and we can be back into the College Cup.
I checked TDS transfer tracker and saw no one coming. Saw Daly to Auburn, Richardson to LSU, Pezzino to Ole Miss and Griffiths to USCe. Anyone else with info?
That is why I asked if it was a misprint! Malia Berkely liked the tweet, if that means anything. I feel like Sherlock Holmes trying to get any info out on FSU soccer, the lack of coverage is disappointing.
It is very frustrating to get good info in advance of the actual season. The good news is we know that the Chinese girl and the Lynch girl have been impressing. We know Jaelin Howell is a stud based on short stint with WNT and current U20 team stint. 1 or 2 key transfers (think Cheyna Williams) and with what we have coming back (injuries), we can compete with anyone! Just get back to CC and let the chips fall where ever they may!
Just saw on Twitter where the Chinese Girl, Patten, Castellanos and Connolly are playing for various levels (U23 and or FNT) of national teams now. Nothing new for recruiting. Give me Ekic from Louisville and let's call it a day. Disclaimer: I have no reason to suspect she would transfer. I just love players who will fight to win.
