3 points regarding the back line players for team USA (and more)
This originally started as part of the article looking at the 11 new faces coach Jill Ellis introduced to the roster for the first matches for the USA after the Olympics.

U17 2016 World Championships – Final review
1. Korea DPR – 2. Japan – 3. Spain – 4. Venezuela The final day of an extraordinary championship is over. And so its time to look back. And to think about the future of the womens game. But first to the finals: 3rd place: Spain – Venezuela 4:0 Very surprising that Spain didnt change […]
11 new faces for team USA?
Thats a lot … We have nearly lost the overview. But we have 3 years now. So why not start trying something. But keep in mind that we will be three years older in three years. Well – sort of most of us hopefully. Its really the main point that you cant say: there is […]
U17 2016 World Championships – the Semi Finals
Extraordinary again Extraordinary was this second semi final. More below. But we are still sticking to our major aspect.

The quarter finals were the first time here we were not too much amused. Still the level was good. But the games switched further away […]
2016 NWSL Final: Washington Spirit – Western New York Flash 4:5(2:2) a.pen.
Situation: The final. The expectations were high for a final that had seen preceding semifinals of probably the highest standards ever. And two dynamic winners who boasted energy all over the football field in their deserved extra time wins last week. Headline: Not as expected But what a disappointing game it has been compared to […]
