“Two of the best strikers in the world in the same city. I think that’s a shocker for everyone.” – Amy Carnell, GM Seattle Reign
1/12/13 8:44pm – Well, there are just as many opinions as roster permutations regarding yesterday’s National Women’s Soccer League team allocation and team dispersals today. I tend to agree with the most common theme that Portland came out a winner, but of course that is only true if the stars are healthy and even more importantly if their supporting staff are healthy and play at their best, consistently. No one can go it alone – not even the best 7.
Here are links to some of the strongest opinions from D-Day – look forward to seeing how these opinions stack up 4 months from now.
