I am guessing both Andi and Jessie are training with their National Teams and maybe missing the first round/game on Friday 10th...?
I think both Stanford and UCLA will be fine.
Then my guess is maybe sent back early to school to join their teams with for the 2nd round...?
Again-- I don't know anything-- I am just totally completely guessing & also on how the NT has worked in the past situations sorta similar to this.
Map would know if I am hot or cold on this...

MAP probably has the inside scoop on JF but as far as AS goes. The NT doesn't give a rats ass - they only think about themselves. PS that is from experience FYI.

Jane Campbell is the most overrated GK I have ever seen. Great move by Williams.

After watching a number of NWSL games this past summer, Adrianna Franch seemed to be the best keeper in the league. Any reason I haven't seen her playing on the USWNT team? I think she is much better than Alyssa Naeher.

UCLA will be without it's midfield maestro against San Diego State. The team should be okay without her. If Stanford can't beat Utah Valley State (shout out to Chris Lemay the coach and Dori Moul a former Surf player on the team) without Sullivan they might as well hand back all the hardware that they are going to win later today...

I was pretty down on Alyssa Naeher. The last couple games I've notice her playing off her line a bit more, clearing some of the over the top balls, not always kicking the ball to midfield when it is played back to her. Maybe she is getting some actual coaching. :)
 
Interesting match in the U20 Nike friendlies. I can see the speed of play and the game developing on the women's side and it's exciting! Hopefully more and more attention will also come to it as a result. Brazil's definitely going to be a force to reckon with even more so than now in the next couple of years. We can definitely see that traditional Brazilian flair coming out in their style of play and how their players are with the ball. Definitely some flaws, seeing that not everything has tied together, but that's what these matches are for as well as the fact that these are youth teams. On our side, very interesting to see the clash in style, where our girls were much more structured with the ball, more emphasis on power, etc. Didn't seem like Girma started the game off well but I'm still watching, so hopefully she improved throughout the game

I believe Hope Solo is running to be President of US Soccer...as part of her platform she wrote:

Why I’m Running for President of U.S. Soccer
Hope Solo·Thursday, December 7, 2017

“The system has been set up to discriminate and to overlook the disadvantaged because of an arrogant belief that the United States possesses the world’s best athletes, so therefore we can get away without having the world’s best soccer players. It is an outdated and a painfully evident reality that the National Teams currently face.”

Here is the link to her announcement on Facebook:

Went to this game. Had a great time. Nice ceremony for her, much longer than what TV presented. Good ovation from the crowd. Pugh looked really good. Healthy and very fast, great shots with both her left and right, plus a great assist.

Did anyone else hear that the USWNT U23 team played and lost to LAFC's 04s at the Stubhub Center a week or two ago?

There’s a reason boys and girls play in separate divisions. Once boys get their testosterone hit from puberty, there’s no way the girls can compete. Puberty for boys is like legalized doping.
 
DD's team used to scrimmage a younger boys team about every six months, and would always beat them. Then one time it was a close game. The next time the boys crushed them by a bunch to zero. Mind you, many of the boys had not even grown taller than the girls yet. DD said every time she received the ball and turned, there was a boy RIGHT behind her. The girls nicknamed them "Turbo Ninjas". Boys and girls are different. DD plays DA, my son does not. I have noticed that boys will just try something during a game that they have NEVER tried before. I think it has something to do with the evil drug, testosterone. My grandmother used to say, "One teenage boy is OK, two teenage boys are dumb, three or more are retarded" (sorry for the non-PC language, it was different time).
