    It's that time of the year again, the start of pre season. The rosters have started to trickle in and we can all get a sense of who's in camp.

    Orlando is the oppposite of Sky blue as they have only 22 players in camp. 9 of those players could be away for international duty if it overlaps with an NWSL game. We know the NWSL try to follow the FIFA windows but with traveling and an odd number of teams, it is inevitable there will be some overlap.


    GOALKEEPERS (2): Ashlyn Harris (FED-USA; NYR), Haley Kopmeyer
    DEFENDERS (7): Monica Hickmann Alves, Poliana Barbosa Medeiros (NYR), Ali Krieger, Camila Martins Pereira, Carson Pickett, Toni Pressley, Shelina Zadorsky (FED-CAN; NYR)
    MIDFIELDERS (6): Bridget Callahan (NRI), Kristen Edmonds, Alanna Kennedy (NYR), Christine Nairn, Emily van Egmond (NYR), Dani Weatherholt
    FORWARDS (7): Danica Evans, Nadia Gomes (CDP), Rachel Hill, Sydney Leroux, Alex Morgan (FED-USA, NYR), Chioma Ubogagu, Marta Vieira da Silva

    Orlando doesn't seem to have much cutting to do

    Nope. Either that or they are waiting for other clubs to cut players and then pick them up. If not then I'm not sure what Sermanni is thinking here

    Of course it makes perfect sense that Shim would be listed as a forward.

    Daly will be back with the defenders trying to catch the eye of Phil Neville

    Portland. Is it me or is this roster a serious downgrade from last season? With Henry, Long, Nadim all gone and an aging Sinclair and injured Heath, they've lost some serious quality.

    Goalkeepers (3): Britt Eckerstrom, Adrianna Franch, Bella Geist (CDP)

    And don't forget that, although she didn't play much last season, in such a situation Dagny Brynjarsdottir could have been very useful in the midfield. But they lost her also, because she recently announced her pregnancy.

    Dash scrimmaged a U15 boys team. Won 2-0 Jordan & Mewis (Jordan) had the goals. Henninger apparently had some quality saves. Ohai took part in drills but didn't scrimmage.

    Well with no local team it's time for my ramblings of KC area success stories elsewhere:

    Haley Hanson: First-round draft pick defensive mid fielder in Dash camp. She's from the Kansas side so I didn't get to see her play in person but she's a hard-working, do it all type player from watching her college games on TV.

    Jaycie Johnson: 2017 draft pick by NC who is now in camp with Vlatko in Seattle. Speed and grit were her game in HS but has developed into much more at Nebraska. Interested to see how she recovers after a 2nd ACL tear kept her off the field last season. The girl is determined and can finish, hope injuries haven't set her back. Shes gotten some US youth looks at outside back...but those pesky injuries got in the way.

    Tina DeZeeuw: Invite to Portland Camp from Vanderbilt, was quite surprised she didn't get drafted, she's been in with the Columbia full national team recently. She is the best pure defender to come out of KC (an area who hasn't had a lot of defensive prowess, but still..haha). I was surprised Tina's college career was rather quite( but solid) she looked awesome in HS, nearly impossible to get around, strong, and powerful. I guess Vandy isn't a powerhouse and shes nothing fancy, interested to see what she can do.

    Watched the Red Stars vs. Marquette scrimmage the other day.
    One person I was really impressed with was Nikki Stanton. She can flat out play.

    Any word as to why the scrimmages are closed off to the public this year?

    I don't know, probably due to lack of room, especially in the indoor facilities they are playing in. I haven't read anywhere where the schools themselves are saying closed door. The Marquette website gives the time and says free to attend. There were plenty of people watching the Marquette game last Saturday, in a tight-spaced side-line.
    I don't even see the game scheduled on the UW website although I think the Red Stars are playing them in Rockford next weekend.

    That was pretty amateurish from the GK. Was that Kop?

    Reminds me of when Castellanos scored from the center of the pitch from kick-off, at about 93', at U-20 WWC. She uses to try such things when she sees that the GK is too much carelessly out of her goal and not even imagining a shot.

    Do I remember well that that particular goal I was talking about had been put in the shortlist for Puskas Awards?

    From the Orlando writeup it was probably Kop - she must miss the Seattle coffee.
