Hannah Diaz scored again today for Orca Kamogawa for the third consecutive week , in a 2-1 win vs NHK Spring Yokohama FC Seagulls. It's a shame that I couldn't find any video-coverage for Japanese Division 2 so far. Anyway, Diaz must have been a terrific college player.

An update on Morgan Brian: I asked Lyon coach Reynald Pedros as to why Morgan Brian was not involved in his #UWCL Final squad.— Kieran Theivamanoharan (@KiersTheivam) May 23, 2018 He said that Morgan joined the club in January after three months of having not played. Said she got back on her feet, then got injured, and got injured again. For that reason, she has not been able to practice or play matches, which is why she is not part of the group.— Kieran Theivamanoharan (@KiersTheivam) May 23, 2018

Morgan Brian coming back: Morgan Brian reportedly to end her contract with Lyon early for a return to the #NWSL. @KiersTheivam reports: https://t.co/hn3wkmoHSs #USWNT pic.twitter.com/2XGqxFHkmu— The Equalizer (@EqualizerSoccer) May 30, 2018
Interesting to see if Chicago will owe Houston any picks or players because Brian did not stay at OL.
Christen Press' contract with Swedish club Goteborg FC ends in July. I spoke with her about what's next, and why she's willing to search for the club environment she feels she needs to be at her best. https://t.co/nC9qKVwuNe#NWSL #USWNT pic.twitter.com/0wrLzKK3yC— Jeff Kassouf (@JeffKassouf) May 30, 2018
Brian wasn't even on the OL roster for the CL final. The coach claimed that injuries had made it tough for her to get game-fit, etc.--but hasn't she been healthy and playing for a while? I don't think getting benched for the CL final went down well with her.
Americans seem to have a problem with OL. Recall that Rapinoe joined OL about 6 years ago and mostly sat on the bench.
Well, Lyon's bench has a problem with Lyon Based on (lack of) form, I never expected Brian to displace any of Lyon's starters.
