Roster for USWNT matches against Colombia

wow, ashley sanchez.

 

So not good for Rampone. Also it seems if u want a shot at the NT u either need to play for Portland or have UCLA on your resume'/future.

Big sigh. Is there any rhyme or reason to who Ellis calls in? Barnes got her following taking the winter off to go hiking. Long gets this call I guess based on how much she has improved while not playing after Ellis dropped her. Sanchez gets a call based on how she played against CONCACAF U17s. And of course Barnes is one and done just like Huster last year.

 

Dunn feels old

Press is old


OTOH, this is exactly how a friendly should be used, right? See if HAO gets a minute and Engen gets two.

 

MacCaffrey is gone too.

I like Long, but would have preferred more technical miss called up, like Rose.

Hinkle... hmm...

 

And of course Portland fans arent even sure Long still starts for them.

 

Pretty soon a 12-year old will be called up before Ohai...............sorry, just venting, nothing against Sanchez.

 

Ur right...vent away. Sanchez is very talented and her time will come but why now? If Long was put on because Brian has a hamstring injury then this would have been the perfect time to add another Dash player.

 

At this point I'd say the likelihood of Ohai being called up to the NT is somewhere between hell freezing over and pigs flying. Perhaps if she leads the league in scoring and assists this year she may receive a token call-up to practice with the team for a couple of days.

 

Well if that were the case, then Dydasco would be getting called in rather than Hinkle...

 

It's beyond me that Ohai does not get a call-up, EVER!

We can say that Jill has experimented and brought many new people in for at least a look after the World Cup, but Kealia Ohai gets no love by Jill whatsoever. None. Zilch. Nada. Nishta. Nothing...WHY?

 

Sanchez is 17, but just barely. She turned 17 a week ago tomorrow. Still younger than Pugh.

I feel like HAO has less of a chance of getting any playing time in these matches than some players who aren't even on the roster.

 

had she gone to UCLA she would be in the camps.

 

oh lord, she was born in 1999. you're all old.

 

I don't understand the HAO situation. It's like she knows Ellis doesn't rate her. Yet she keeps accepting these call up's like something is going change. The whole damn team could go down with injuries and she wouldn't play under her. I seriously doubt she is hurting for money. Why be some one bitch practice player, when your better than that? Confusing situation.

 

true, and it's an olympic year, if they place in top three they will all make more than 200k.

 

It will be interesting to see if HAO doesnt get a roster spot but Ellis names her an alternate.

 

Actually, despite all logic it is actually looking better for HAO (assuming Sanchez doesnt pull a Pugh)

Roster kinda looks like this now
GK Solo, Naeher
CB Sauerbrunn, Johnston, Sonnett
OB Klingenberg, Krieger, O'Hara
CM Lloyd, Mewis, Horan, Brian
OM Pugh, Heath
F Morgan, Press, Dunn

That leaves one spot to fill. Do u want a fourth outside back, a fourth center back or HAO?

 

Yep, doesn't look good for Rampone. I had thought Rampone might officially retire and be given one of these friendlies as a farewell match, assuming she's healthy again.

 

Are people here convinced Sonnet is better than Engen? I'm not, i've seen Sonnet under 10 times though...so...

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Im not sure ull really know about Sonnett until she gets some league matches under her belt.

 

I would think it looks great for Rampone-- I think she's only making herself available in case there's an injury crisis on the back line. Nobody gets hurt, she gets to retire having done all she was asked to do.
