Love your take on the Red Stars. As a team who finished bottom last year and lost Mal, even just being where they are now feels like a win. And as someone who became a United fan after Earps's performance in the WC, I think it's time to become a PSG supporter too. I obviously don't know how the roster will shake out before next year but hopefully she'll play alongside Martens and Gaetino, which should be fun to watch.

Kerolin must be fit for return, pretty sure she got called to the Olympic team 😮🎉

I believe the sendoff matches were for players at their last home game before the Olympics. The international break officially begins on the 8th and they scheduled the season around that so they didn't overlap. So, don't worry, it's still a clash of the Titans, and I even think those international coaches are going to be watching the match very closely for current (heh) form.

Julia Grosso is the exact profile of player that changes the entire way the Red Stars are able to progress the ball up the field to Swanson. it's already been reported by CBS that is happening August 1st. if i was KC or Orl, i wouldnt want to see them in a knockout scenario. they already walked into Orlando *and* KC and came out with a result from both season & have room to grow.
