Dunn was a Golden Boot winner in NWSL a few years ago as a winner and then went and pretty much shur down that half of the field against France as a LB this year, so she's pretty loving good.

Shame she has to be on the same team as Jaelene Hinkle.

Sadly no Rapinoe in that game as she is out due to fatigue from being loving awesome all the time her media tour plus a nagging injury from the World Cup.

That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it plays out

quote:

The USA squad's current battle is to secure the same pay as their male counterparts. Although the row has been rumbling on for a long time, the World Cup brought it into greater focus. Football and finance remains an awkward and often controversial mix, which Skinner feels conflicted about.

"I'm not going to go into the equal pay row because I think that I'd still love to see the women do something the men haven't done, and that is to continue to love football not just for the money but for the love of the game. I think that's the purity of women's football, I really do," he adds.

Pretty big day on the NWSL as the 3 teams fighting for the final playoff spot played today. #6 Washington Spirit weren't able to do anything with the opportunity, playing to a scoreless draw against Houston. The #5 Reign were able to beat the #4 Royals 2-1 in a nailbiter (winning goal scored at 86') to take control of the #4 seed with a 3 point cushion with two games left in the season. The Courage (clinched the shield), Thorns and Red Stars are the other playoff teams. The Reign host the Thorns on Sunday and could set the playoff field with a result and any dropped points by the Royals.

Seems weird that the league hasn't had a California team...ever.

And hopefully being part of an MLS ownership group gives them crowds more like the Thorns and less like Sky Blue (granted, this has not helped Houston).

NWSL playoffs start in a half hour on ESPN2, Reign FC @ North Carolina then Portland Thorns @ Chicago Red Stars (and for some reason the latter is scheduled for 2 hours after the former, all but guaranteeing the former goes to extra time).

After 66' it's scoreless because Casey Murphy has been standing on her head all game (NCC has 19 shots, 6 on target, compared to 5/3 for the Reign).

Hope so, as she's about to get aged out of the U23s and the regulars on the senior team haven't exactly set the world on fire (outside of Harris' A+ celebratory Instragram videos).
