U.S. Women To Face Nigeria on April 26 at RFK Stadium; USA Will Meet African Champions in WWC ’03 Preparations Soooo.... Which team will Abigail play for...the Freedom or the USWNT? I wonder if any players will pull double duty that day? I could see the powers-that-be for both the USWNT and Freedom want Mia to play in both matches.
With luck, both. They did the schedule right for a change by playing the international first - this way any players with anything left can still play for their club teams. When the club game is played first, no NT callups get to play.
Siri could pull double duty. They probably would want Mia to play in both. Is it worth the risk? I mean the Nigerians can be ruff. (understatement) She doesn't need to get wacked.
anyone else need to be reminded of the cheap shot the nigerians put on mia in 99...there are low blows then there is just backing a player into an isloated part of the field and kicking her guts out...i still dunno how that wasnt a red
I was there!!!!! I was screaming bad things about the mothers of the players. I also recall threatening the Nigerians with a post game ass whuppin'.
I read it as both her and the Syracuse chick leaving the team. They probably both realized that they had no shot of making the 16+2+2 roster. Old Freedom bench warmer Keri Sarver is trying out with the Power.
It will be five hours south of DC in Cary, NC. Nothing truly official yet though. I got this info posted in both the WUSA forum and Courage forum.
The roster has been named... http://www.ussoccer.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=33481&itype= ...and Abigail, Siri, and what's her name are on it. I wonder how Heinrichs will manage the Beat/Freedom players. Will she sit them in the second half so they can play in the second game? And I wonder if Heinrichs will actually play Abigail.
