Racing Louisville has already gotten started building their inaugural roster, but tonight’s 2020 NWSL Expansion Draft will constitute the most significant steps they take towards putting their squad together for 2021 and beyond.
From a Washington Spirit perspective, there are dual purposes to follow along tonight: there’s the bad news (Louisville is going to select some good players, and the Spirit can’t do much of anything to stop them), but there’s also the prospect of the newcomers picking a player and then trading them elsewhere. Elsewhere could mean here! Expansion drafts are nothing if not chaotic.
