Macario would be better served going to Europe but I imagine that she will stay put until she gets her US citizenship. It's going to cost her some dough but maybe it will be worth it since the US really only has one or two elite professional strikers.

MAP, does your player ever consider playing overseas? She seems like the kind of person who'd really embrace that experience.

Dear Lord, I ask that you allow ALL the girls and boys under 18 to play fall ball this year. For all the college soccer players, I ask that you have them all hold off this fall and then come back for Spring Soccer and then the College Cup sometime in May. Thank you in advance for answering my ask :)

Yes. I will leave it at that publicly right now.

So, if a goat ((no GPA+SAT=no Unicorn)) can ball in 2022, is their any hope to make a few bucks? I know some folks who say girls soccer around the world will become big time. Thoughts? You know the top girls will not come back and risk getting hacked. It's time to get Pro Soccer for the girls legit and I will help support that.

Is it just me, or does it seem like that process is taking a long time? She played her first game in the US in January of 2012 (and yes the other team noticed her). I don't know her birthdate but would guess that she has been a legal adult for over three years. I am sure it is very frustrating for her and hope it happens soon.

Unfortunately our naturalization process is somewhat grueling. On the bright side it's better than in Greece. Giannis was born in Greece but wasn't granted Greek citizenship until after he turned 19 and was drafted in the first round of the NBA draft.

And we wonder why he was granted Greek citizenship in his late teens? Funny how things work out!

Back to soccer. It is truly a bummer that these hard working young ladies are getting a monkey wrench thrown in their plans. It is a similar situation for those playing professional soccer. The NWSL hasn't revealed a plan on how they are going to pull off next season and they are planning on going forward with an expansion draft for two teams (Nashville and Sacramento) and a college draft. The real question is how many seniors are going to just enter the draft and forgo the spring season and/or forgo an additional year of eligibility.

Players like Macario and many of the foreign players I imagine would forgo another year especially if they are going to graduate this year. This will be a very interesting next six months.

Stay safe everyone. Wear a mask that cover your mouth AND your nose. Keep your distance. Be kind. We will make it through this together.

Do you think with the college draft, they will allow the player to come in late (say late May/early June start) that way they could finish out their college career?? I didn't even think they were doing a college draft this year, I thought it would all be inside trading. It will definitely be an interesting year to come,

I have heard that they have plans for an expansion draft for Nashville and Sacramento and that they were going to hold a college draft. I don't think that they really have a solid plan as to what they are going to do. That likely has a lot to do with why the USWNT players are fleeing to Europe. Many of them realize that we don't have our shit together domestically and if they want to get any meaningful games in prior to next years Olympics that they better play in Europe.

I think it has changed a couple times as far as dates and I could be wrong but I think Louisville is this coming year 2021 for NWSL expansion and then Los Angeles and Sacramento will be the following year 2022..? Is Nashville coming in as well? Lots of new teams--excited to finally get a team in So Cal!!

Map-- Good luck to your DD!! Would love seeing her play overseas for a bit!! Keep us posted!

From what I have heard the Sacramento team is coming this year along with Nashville and LA will be playing in the 2022 season. Yes lots of exciting opportunities for our SoCal girls. Thank you for the kind words.

Continued good fortune to you and your player! Stay safe.

Maps, this would be amazing.
 
My DD's team has been training w/coaches as well just unsure how long they will keep it up without a fall season....?
They have them bubbled in a hotel across from campus.
DD is on cloud nine though, just soooo happy to be with the team-- testing, restrictions, whatever-- she doesn't care, just wants to be with them and play soccer!! Trying to stay positive and hopeful for a spring season of some sort.
So incredibly tough for all these kids and young adults-- new freshman coming in, seniors having to make some big decisions, and everyone in between as well...just so mentally tough on everyone.
Praying all your families & kiddos are staying safe & healthy and strong though this!
