Horace Greeley wrote, “Go West, young man, and grow up with the country,” in the New York Daily Tribune in 1865.

Today, I’ll say, “Go East, young woman, and prepare for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.” With the NWSL playing a truncated season, and non-bubble sports in the United States at risk with COVID-19 still prominent, some of the U.S. Womens National Team’s (USWNT) best players are headed to England to play a full-length schedule.
