Mod note Hmmm. We tried to get a separate US-Russia thread going, but the substantive discussion stayed here. Which is fine, but since there's no [R] in this thread's title, please take US-Russia in-game/post-game comments to the thread with the [R], okay? Grazie.
Here is the US Soccer press release with the roster: Heinrichs Names Roster for 2002 Nike U.S. Women's Cup And, to complement nsa's history of the Nike Cup, the US Soccer version: About the Nike Cup
Surprising there aren't many new players. I'd have thought Heinrichs would want to expand the roster before qualifying begins. Sachin
She was with the Nats at the 2002 Algarve Cup. A blurb in the news/notes article brought up the interesting point that she is closer in age to Katey Fawcett (17yrs-10 yrs) than to Joy Fawcett (17yrs-34yrs)- and something like "no mention if Katey is sharing her coloring books with Heather." The article may still be on www.ussoccer.com
Whoops! I'm sorry. That (17yrs-10yrs) should have been (17yrs-7yrs) for the real ages. Instead I placed the difference. At the time of the Algarve Cup, Katey was 7- hence the correction. Slippery fingers...
Re: Nike Cup Recap I thought Heinrichs showed good sense in the views she expressed in the article. Of course, I don't expect that her critics on these boards will let up and give her any credit, but I figured I'd weigh in to support the job she did at the Women's Cup in any event.
