Who will be there next year for the Olympics? 18 Field 2 Keeper

It will be interesting tomorrow, assuming Brian is ready and Ellis goes with the 4-1-2-3 again, where she sticks Brian. It was also interesting that Ellis mentioned Brian with Long & Mewis. Much like Lloyd was never mentioned Im surprised Brian was mentioned as if her spot isnt secure.

 

Latest iteration following Japan friendlies
Formation 4-3-3

F Morgan, Press, Dunn
OM Heath, Pugh
CM Lloyd, Brian, Horan, Long, Mewis
OB Klingenberg, Krieger, O'Hara
CB Sauerbrunn, Johnston, Engen
GK Solo, Naeher

Alt GK Harris
Alt CB Sonnett
Alt OM O'Reilly
Alt

If Rapinoe gets added then Mewis get last ALT spot. If no Rapinoe then Hinkle gets last ALT spot.

 

So when is this roster due/expected?

 

The Rio2016 Entry Deadline is July 18th so to has to be before that.

 

So, according to the July 9th Fox prematch show, Jill said she has the Olympic roster in her head and will tell the players today who makes the cut. Sooooo... my question is, when will she announce it to the rest of us?

 

First Ellis has to figure out how to get the players names into the Magic Eightball.

 

We'll probably have to wait till the deadline before finding out.

 

I was wondering this as well. I am also wondering if there's much point in having a gap between the announcement to the players and the announcement to the public since social media exists.

 

Certainly wont be an announcement until Ellis has spoken to everyone. Beyond that I think they get it out ASAP before it leaks. All things considered Im surprised she didnt step on the Orlando/Boston match.
