Sometimes when women are pregnant they don't know it, but they should at least have a suspicion. Unless, of course, they are one of those people you suggested who are stupid and don't know it.

I wasn't referring to her! I was referring to "oh Canada"! And by the way, women don't always have a "suspicion", they can menstrate their entire pregnancy, not have any symptoms until the baby moves or she starts showing. So many knowledgeable men out there.
They didn't know they had sex?

AM will be just fine, 7 months pregnant and trying to make a roster spot....
,,,, I know trials can put you on the edge, dont worry Trump will come squeeky clean, he always does, cant touch the man. #fakenews #kaga #comeback #untouchable #resignpelosiI don’t care either way if she tries to make the team or not (i don’t think she will. A roster of 18 with so many talented forwards playing so well leaves very little room for someone coming in with 8-12 weeks of training). BUT having had kids I do wonder why a financially stable couple would want to sacrifice the first few months of newborn life to train for....soccer.
Maybe cuz I’m old and my kids are way past that stage but those first few months are magical and go so so fast. And training to make the team isn’t a 90 min workout at the gym. It’s a full day commitment plus solid sleep and total focus. I get the goal of making the Olympic team and that’s a great goal. But parenting and parenting well is a pretty good goal as well. Maybe she can do it all. Good for her if she can. But if it’s me, and something has to give, soccer goes first, not the kid.

Average weight loss right after birth (due to the baby being born and the amniotic fluid loss) is 12 pounds. Breastfeeding greatly accelerates weight loss, burning an average of 500 extra calories a day. I ran 6 miles the day I went into labor (2 weeks late). I started running again 2 days after I gave birth as well as going back into my gym routine with free weights. Was at my normal weight 1 month after giving birth, was lifting the same weight and actually running a bit faster mile time (still haven't figured that one out). Someone like Alex Morgan can be back in fitness shape a month after giving birth. Your point about soccer shape (touches, etc) may be valid. No clue since I've always been a clutz which is why I run (one foot in front of the other not too difficult). I don't know how much muscle memory comes into play with a "finesse" skill.
Regardless she only said she "hoped" to come back and play in the Olympics, not that she was certain she would. What else is she supposed to say? You can look at it two ways I guess, entitled or inspiring to other women who may be having difficulty bouncing back after childbirth--whether that be postpartum depression, losing the weight, balancing work/life if they need to work, etc. I prefer the latter interpretation despite being inclined to agree that AM is a bit over-hyped.
The team looked pretty tight connecting passes and winning the individual battles the other day against Mexico.
New coach didn’t look like someone who will disrupt that flow just to satisfy advertisers and sponsors...
She’ll probably be physically ready but coaches will want to see how she fits in and makes them a better team.

How did "satisfy advertisers and sponsors" get into the discussion?
If she does make the team and bumps a player off of the roster that has been in great form, I could see plenty of people thinking that Nike put pressure to get her on the roster.
I don't see that, although I agree it would be a fantastic story. However, this isn't pro wrestling where everything is staged for sponsors and ratings.

Lynn Williams sporting #13 and looking pretty good vs my underachieving Canada--they played awfully. Disappointing that the coach played a bunker 5-4-1 in a game that didn't mean much other than pride. High press the US, and attack, that's the only way to beat the best.
Re Williams - props to the Fresno native and Pepperdine grad. No youth national team interest until u23.
I do find it interesting with all the jersey # options, she chose #13!! Was it a thumb in the eye of Nike's favorite or a tip of the hat? Maybe Lynn just likes the #? Still, an interesting choice.

The women from up north played Canadian courtesy defense -- "Oh, sorry - is this your ball?"
