I dont know if Dunn offers what Morgan does.
Its apples and oranges.
On the other hand, Williams is better than both of them.

Get over it.Revenue generating sports are a meritocracy NOW but make no mistake that was not always the case. How many legitimate national champions were there prior to the civil rights movement? How many World Series champions were legitimate prior to Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier? Make no mistake there were some immensely talented players that were excluded from most college and pro sports prior to that.
Unfortunately as long as women's soccer is not a revenue generating sport in a self sustaining way it is going to be dominated by those who are able to pay whether through parents, scholarship or benefactor.
Get over it.Outside defender Lori Chalupny at age 31 made the team over Dunn. If that isn't a snub I don't know what is. BTW, Julie Johnston is a ctr defender.

You must mean tall?I would agree! And maybe someone not looking for a certain "type"?
She is just too stupid to know it.MAP - the forum basket case, deplorable reverse racist.
Or from one of the "feeder" schools, or YNT club.You must mean tall?
Williams is flat out faster than either one, and is technically in the same ballpark as Dunn, with a better shot.I dont know if Dunn offers what Morgan does.

Bernie you had mentioned Williams previously so it is cool to see your predictions come true. Must also be gratifying that your Waves have some of the best in the nation. Very cool. I guess Williams came from a very modest soccer background etc so that's nice to see as well.I dont know if Dunn offers what Morgan does.

My kid came in the year after Williams graduated.Bernie you had mentioned Williams previously so it is cool to see your predictions come true. Must also be gratifying that your Waves have some of the best in the nation. Very cool assuming they overlapped. I guess Williams came from a very modest soccer background etc so that's nice to see as well.
I think she was overlooked as a soccer player by many of the big colleges.Bernie you had mentioned Williams previously so it is cool to see your predictions come true.

I read she got 2 offers from Pepperdine and Fresno State. Apparently Pepperdine has an eye for talent !!!I think she was overlooked as a soccer player by many of the big colleges.
She was a track star, but I guess she had a passion for soccer, and Pepperdine got the golden ticket.
Really hard to believe when you see her now.I read she got 2 offers from Pepperdine and Fresno State. Apparently Pepperdine has an eye for talent !!!
Yes, Williams is a baller. The type of player I hope the U.S. will add to the team.Williams is flat out faster than either one, and is technically in the same ballpark as Dunn, with a better shot.

Been busy and missed the rest of y'all post.
The lack of diversity on the men's basketball team was based on meritocracy, and who WANTED to go. Some folks turned it down. I'm sure if DIRK wanted to go he could.
Feeder schools, feeder clubs, all of that. And yes my player is glad to see some other ladies out on the field that look like her. Just as was stated in another thread above, us soccer over looks a lot of talent if it doesn't fit into their "box" whatever that box is (school, club, eye color, whatever). Look at the young lady playing on the Ghana u17 team.
Am I saying it's done intentionally? No. I'm saying I know more than ONE black or mixed heritage woman is good enough to be on the USWNT at a time. This is the first time I have ever seen more than one. This summer we got Mallory and crystal playing together. The other night we had Casey, crystal, and Lynn. It was a nice look.
My opinion. You don't have to agree.
What does Julie Johnston's position have to do with it? She replaced Dunn on the roster, and Dunn couldn't get back in the mix before the World Cup. http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2014/10/15/julie-johnston-crystal-dunn-uswnt-concacaf-roster .
