    Possibly because of the signing of Lewandowski?

    she's going to a coach who believes in her. she was one of tony's stalwarts in their wc win.

    but the pro level is a different kettle of fish. hoefully she makes it.

    somebody in boston is nervous right now tho.

    So who made the final roster for WNY and who got cut?

    Final roster won't be out until tomorrow unless WNY steps up and releases info early like Boston and Philly have. All I know so far is that Elli Reed (who's been picked up by Boston) and Ashleigh Bowers have both been cut, so that leaves the Flash in need of a third keeper.

    Official Roster:

    GK - Harris
    GK - Bowers
    GK - Cameron
    D - Engen
    D - Chapman
    D - Riley
    D - Wilson
    D- Lewandowski
    D - Brandao
    D - Sahlen
    D/M - Sitch
    D/M - Bock
    M - Seger
    M - Averbuch
    M - Zerboni
    M - Goebel
    M - Edwards
    M/F - Parker
    F - Marta
    F - Sinclair
    F - Davison
    F - Morgan
    F - Fountain


    Now there are only 22 players. No mention of Ashlyn Harris or Rose Augustine. I don't understand why Harris isn't mentioned though? I assume Augustine was cut in favor of Maurine eventually joining.

    That is very interesting. I was under the impression that she was a key acquisition to play in net this season. Very strange indeed.

    I'm hoping it was a mistake. After all, according to the press release Ali Riley is now Ana Riley :cool:

    Damn. I was hoping Rose Augustine would make the cut. She was a key part of the Notre Dame National Championship team.

    Glad Brittany Bock made it.

    In fact in retrospect, Emma Hayes would have been better off picking Bock as her #1 pick in the first year of the WPS over Rapinoe with the Red Stars.
    You know what you get out of Brit Bock day in and day out = hard work, ready to play 100% every day, and no drama or whining.

    MRAD: In retrospect there are *many* things that Hayes could have done differently. But that is an entirely different conversation for another day and another board.

    I can only assume that the omission of Harris was an error since she was their first flagship signing...

    But this is WPS and weirder things have happened, so who knows.

    Yep the omission of Harris was an error. I contacted them on their Facebook and they didn't realize the mistake until then. Harris is still on the team.

    That is PRICELESS. I'll give them a pass on every mistake this season cuz they are a new team and all...but that is simply unbelievable. That's like accidently leaving rajon rondo or ray allen off the celtics roster. That's not an oversight...that's like an entire missing paragraph lol.

    This probably explains E Reed sudden trip to Boston.

    [LINEUP-4-3-3]Marta, Sinclair, Morgan, Edwards, Seger, Maurine, Riley, Engen, Chapman, Wilson,Harris[/LINEUP-4-3-3]

    what's your favorite lineup if you could choose one?:)

    MID-FIELD TRIANGLE

    Barring injury, I doubt there is any question about the starting front and back lines

    If the wide backs are attacking we need some security to be provided by two holding backs. If indeed Maurine is going to show up, she had better be committed to cover Wilson/Riley. There are current and former members of the National squad on your bench who will compete for the mid-field positions. Maybe Maurine belongs at the front of the triangle and will have to share time up there with Seger.

    I think Dan spoke of MagicJack in a 3-4-3 which they can pull off with Hope in net. Abby, Ella and Press up top. WNY looks crazy, and as with GP, they will probably push Riley and Wilson forward on the wings, as someone just noted. The only team with a back line to contain WNY or Jack is Boston. The WC is messing up the early part of the season but this season will be crazy when squads are complete jocking for playoff spots.

    I watched a lot of matches of Maurine and she is a player more dangerous than Riley and Wilson... she is very fast and have a great shot.

    Maurine

    Awesome offense I agree.

    But if she does turn up maybe Seger will have to play more of a holding mid-field role.

    If the team really Flashes on all cylinders maybe we make defense secondary and focus on scoring 5 goals a game!

    That would get everyone's attention.

    It is really bugging me that no one will tell us why Marta and Maurine are not in camp. I understand that the US and Canada National team players will report back tomorrow.

    Go Flash!

    Brazilian Odds

    Is anyone willing to bet that Marta (and possibly Maurine) will be in Boston for game 1? No sign of them yet and game day is getting very close. If not it is going to be a real downer for the fans at Soldier's Field and on TV.:cool:
