As the NWSL season kicks off, many players will be hoping to earn a call-up to the national team. Who should we be watching closely?
The NWSL season opens this weekend, which is plenty exciting in its own right, but is also a great opportunity to take a broader look at the National Team picture. While the Olympic roster is relatively set, Jill Ellis has said that final decisions won't be made until July, and that club form will be a part of that process. Which means that for many of the players on the bubble, performance over the next few months will play a meaningful role in determining whether they get on a plane for Rio.
