    I'm an amatuer,but I'm not convinced that moving Brandi from the outside is a good thing.
    Something is missing - service?...something...

    it has something to do with her getting older i guess, doesn't have as much as stamina to overlap just like she used to do it in the past.

    I think Brandi should move back outside and Kate should move inside with Joy. I mean, I love Kate as much as the next person, but have you seen her try to play offense? One word: spazticated. She's an awesome defender though.

    For two years I have watched the Boston defense with Sobrero in the center. She scares the daylights out of me. Sobrero is an outside defender, not a central defender, and Boston's poor goals against record proves the point.

    Kate motors well up and down the wing and her distribution has improved of late. Watching her play in the center is like watching a train wreck about to happen.

    For us soccer novices, could you be more specific? What does she do that's so scary?

    And why did Tony seem to successfully play her in the back? Was it because Overbeck was there to guide her?

    I'm not arguing; I'm just trying to learn more.
