Not sure exactly what topic to put this under, but here are some interesting tweets from Graham Hays (@grahamhays):

"Interesting answers at training from USWNT coach Tom Sermanni about Morgan Brian. Sounded like someone who sees her as serious 2015 option."

"Sermanni on Brian in WC buildup next fall: 'The way she’s progressed would suggest she’ll be heavily involved in the national team program.'"

 

Year end rankings?!?

 

Yes, please!

 

Here's a rating of sorts. minutes played per point (goals = 2; assists =1) scored. In 2013

Press -- 31 minutes played per point
Leroux -- 35
Wambach -- 36
Morgan -- 51

Rapinoe -- 56
Holiday -- 73
Boxx -- 97
Lloyd -- 100
Heath -- 102
O'Reilly -- 191

And before somebody tells me, yes, I know statistics don't tell the whole story. The USWNT is rather stingy with the stats. The NWSL is better.

 

Definitely a bit of a drop off for Morgan. Last year her rating was 30 minutes played per point. Hopefully she'll have an inury free 2014 to get into a better rythm with the team.
