i've been writing for some time that MP and AMorgan are the least deserving to be on that team--if looking at soccer skill/production. That opinion hasn't been a popular one with some folks here, but I'm just being candid with my thoughts. With a NWSL trade, a #1 draft of SS, and now this cut, my MP thoughts are beginning to be supported in reality. It's kinda sad for her really...skipping out on UCLA is looking like a big mistake. Maybe she will bounce back? I'm not too confident of that though.
As for AM, I'm hoping that Lynn Williams and Jess McDonald pick up the Morgan minutes and not Carli Lloyd, who should be on this roster only for a final goodbye. The only player on this list that I will quibble with is Ali Krieger -- she has no foot-skills for a team that wants to now possess the ball, so not sure why she keeps making the team other than to keep her foul-mouthed recently wedded spouse company. Glad to see Andi Sullivan making the cut. If Lavelle gets hurt, which she often does, Heath will have to play the 10 with this roster.
