      No kidding. Did she ever really player here, and when she did make an appearance, that's really all it was. Never seemed like she cared about playing for the team. Herself maybe, but not the team.

        Good riddance! Sure, she's pretty but we're better off without her and the USWNT would be better off focusing on better players, even if they have darker skin or aren't quite as photogenic.

          Don't the women's professional teams have a very low salary cap? If so, how could one focus on playing professional soccer and not focus on wanting to be with their husband?

                Girls soccer is like watching paint dry, only slightly more boring.

                    She gets paid over $100K by US Soccer and gets another $2M in endorsements. Thorns don't pay her a cent.

                        She is elite level fast and has a lot of technical ability. Her game knowledge = good not great.

                        I don't understand why people knock her. Because she is attractive and makes a lot of money?

                        The big loss is that she sold a lot of tickets and merchandise for Portland. Probably 1/3 of the attendance at Thorns games was hoping to see her. She didn't even play that much but did bring a title to Portland.

                        I'd love to see more loyalty and long term players at my home clubs. Hard to be a supporter when the teams change so much every year.

                          National team players are paid by US Soccer and go to the teams US Soccer tells them to go to.

                          And she's doesn't have much technical ability. Put her in center mid and watch the debacle.

                            she has tremendous technically ability to be fast and dribble toward the endline, sometimes out of bounds even, and then try to cross and/or shoot from a poor or non-existent angle. i swear when she was younger, she had at least more imagination and tried to do things. i think she has devolved technically

                              Clearly the national team coaches only selected her because she was attractive.

                              That and her ability to create a lot of goals. Terrible technical ability though. Just awful. Goals don't mean anything. Goals are just a silly distraction. Olympic and World Cup wins don't matter until U35.
