Lily Yohannes Left Off USWNT Olympics Roster | Will Emma Hayes Regret That Decision? France 2024 

I dont think anyone should be worried. sooo many reasons. We havent seen Lily be good off the ball yet. we havent seen her develop yet. Its awesome that we could play against her bc the dutch pool needs her and the US dont. Coffey is the best base midfielder possible, just need one player to gel with her. in 2027 it will probably be Hutton or Jackson in competition

I’m very disappointed she’s not going to Paris. The little I’ve seen of her impressed me to the max. Just every touch is special. She’s obviously a phenom.

Thanks for update 😢 what we could’ve had in Lily.

Is it possible that the USWNT recovery is to add Yohannes to the under 20s squad playing their World Cup in Colombia this September? The Netherlands team is a risk to join. Their golden generation are all at the end of their careers. The problem in my mind is that being a smaller nation their squad is thin. They always seem to run out of gas in the knock out stages of the tournament. Their stars seem to burn out at an earlier age. Miedema and Mertens aare on the back ends of their careers. On the other hand, the next major tournament is the Euros in 2025. If exposure means dollars, that might tip the choice.

I like your styles guys. Keep it up.

Being offered an alternate spot was a huge nod to how Emma sees Yohannes' place on this team. She has a spot if she wants it. But, there are no guarantees that she will keep her role in such a competitive pool. What happens if her performs dips and Emma benches her in favor of another player? Is she going to pout over on the bench? It sounds like Lily wanted a guarantee of playing time before making her country decision and why would Emma do that for an undecided player? I think Lily/her family are playing a little hard ball using the Dutch for leverage. Clever for now. But, this dance could come back to bite her if other players continue to enter the pool and succeed and then surpass the teams need for her. Clearly she wants to play for the team that promises the most playing time right now. Okay, if that is her only concern then, she ought to go play for the dutch. On the contrary, If she's interested in winning, legacy, impact and eventually endorsement $$, then its not really even close. We all saw how her soul damn near left her body when she scored against Korea. She wants to play with US. One day, she'll have to courage to say it

Lily has not decided where she wants to play! It would be interesting if you two found out more about the behind the scenes take for Lily and her family regarding which country she will cap. Hayes in her press conference was clear that Lily has yet to decide whether she wants to play for USWNT or the Netherlands National Team. I wonder if there are other examples similar to Lily you might consider to understand Lily’s difficult choice as a played based in NL?

Lily deserves more praise from media - glad you guys are on it. Needs to move to England or USA for more attention

Dino, are you wearing a Mets shirt? Lol

I will not know peace until Lily Yohannes is officially on this roster.

Sorry to be twisting the knife in the wound: I think it was a good decision by Yohannes not to take up the alternate position. I think the Dutch federation will want her on their U20 squad for the upcoming Women's World Cup in Colombia in september - as a starting player. I would question their sanity if they didn't. She may very well accept. Still US Soccer should strive to win her over.

Hi guys, love your show, but I think Lily was included meaning, I think she was asked, not sure as a primary or alternate, but I think she declined. She wasn’t ready to commit. That’s my understanding that’s the news on the street, press conference, Emma

Emma Hayes played this wrong. Hope she is not sabotaging USA future relations with Lilly Yohannes?😅

Why would Yohannes want to deal with these deranged fans and horrible program
