Glad to hear that smithy - the gold is not nice
I hear many USWNT fans like it due to the fact it's suposed to represent and inspire the USA dominance and them winning gold Rolling Eyes
Don't care the ideas or suggestions the shirt is just ugly
Sweden wore gold shirts didn't mind those so much but wasn't gonna rush out to buy one
teams just suit certain strips ie: Sweden in yellow/blue, US in red/white Laughing

certainly is. I'm hoping that Tasha Kai's exclusion is just an oversight and she'll be in the final 21.

I think Tasha will go, if not for any other reason than to amuse the Chinese fans with her tattoo's and dancing Laughing
Who do you think the final three players will be?

I think: Kai, Hucles and Dalmy/Trotter.

I don't see why Kai has to prove herself to get into the final three.

I would say Kai , Hucles and I got a horrible feeling he may go for Cheney , I do hope I'm wrong.

Will TK get a new tattoo for the w/c Wink the girl is running out of room Laughing

USA Team to Face Norway - 14/07/07

Briana Scurry - Hope Solo

Shannon Boxx - Lori Chalupny - Angela Hucles - Marci Jobson - Carli Lloyd - Leslie Osborne
Natasha Kai - Kristine Lilly - Lindsay Tarpley - Abby Wambach



I figured the other three would be Kai, Dalmy and Hucles on the basis that they're int he 18 to face Norway and that game could be the last chance to show what they've got. Wink

Yep it's not bad is it, sadly it doesn't seem to work for the lottery numbers Confused

Hucles, as per usual, is getting stick...I haven't seen her play much lately so I dunno how she's doing, I thought a younger player might have been brought in insted.
Perhaps Greg is wanting experience or Hucles is showing good form in training.

Not suprised about Kai - I still don't think Kai could last 90mins in a game, but her and Tarps would be a good switch with 20mins to go; Kai with loads of energy!

Dalmy would have been a suprise a few months ago, but since Mitts got injured Dalmy always had a pretty good chance of taking a spot.

I don't think Hucles will be a starting contender , she'll be a sub most of the time. I think Greg wants a bit of experience in the squad as there's quite few players who are at their first world cup , and nerves are bound to play a part.

No, US had sent their U20 team to the PanAm games. So that was the team that got trashed by Brazil.
