    I am going to try putting this thread here. For me the Courage threads are inconveniently buried in the WNY Flash sub forum.

    Well, I think it's a good idea. Last season there was quite a lot of discussion about this subject, but, unless any moderator wants to change WNY Flash sub-forum's name (but it wouldn't be a good thing for WNY Flash archives from the past, I guess) or to open a new sub-forum for NC Courage (but it was said last year that probably the reduced trafic on this kind of media in the latest years doesn't justify anymore one sub-forum per team), simply putting this thread on general NWSL forum could work.

    I am fond of old sub-forums for my favourite teams (and luckily for me Blaze20 keeps Seattle Reign's one alive! ;)) and I normally like simmetry, but I guess there's nothing wrong if we go on in a way that's a little more chaotic and less "regular", like the times we're living. If a sub-forum keeps somehow thriving it is fair to keep it alive, but there's nothing wrong in choosing a different way for new franchises. :)

    I like a little gold with my blue. Who is standing between Abby and Lynn?

    Simple, but classy! Probably thanks to the color combination. I like 'em.

    Do I remember well that both media and managers alike voted her for the "toughest" :whistling: player in NWSL by a landslide?

    It looks like the Courage will not have Mewis, King, or Kawamura for the opening game....

    Why is it that watching Denise O'Sullivan on the field just makes me happy?

    Paul Riley may be Sensei, but I still believe the spiritural soul of this team lies within Elizabeth Eddy.

    Who was who made that front-changing pass? It's not easy to read the number. Was it Abby Dahlkemper?

    So the action was basically: Dahlkemper switching side for Hinkle, who tosses it forward to Sullivan; Sullivan attracts half Portland defense on her, then casually side-pokes the ball to a completely free Debinha on her right, who can subsequently send a surface-to-air missile in goal undisturbed?

    Why, oh why don't I give up my job and become an announcer for TV or a journalist for newspapers? :laugh:

    I have to say, I really like my twitter feed right now, I've been scrolling down and I must have seen O'Sullivan's assist on Debinha's goal a dozen times! It was sweet every time.
