The Olympics are coming up next month, and with yesterday’s announcement of the USWNT squad, it’s the talk of the internet. With a deep player pool, cuts were going to be made by head coach Vlatko Andonovski to get down to the 18 player maximum, and we saw a roster that was comprised of most of the players who made the Olympic roster 5 years ago.
We had some of the younger players who were left off the roster in favor of the experienced. Injured players like Julie Ertz and Tobin Heath are making the trip to Japan, and Andonovski is bringing Casey Krueger, Jane Campbell, Catarina Macario, and Lynn Williams as alternates.
