From their twitter game,I'm pretty confident that Lawrence will go to PSG. Buchanan is still hiding her cards, and I wouldn't be shocked that they will still play together next year for club and country. EDIT: Also, PSG's manager said that he's getting a Canadian international who will play wide (dans le couloir) who is also young. Looking at our Olympic 18, only 2 really fit the description: Rose who commited to Florida and Lawrence. http://www.culturepsg.com/news/feminines/patrice-lair-confirme-l-arrivee-prochaine-d-ashley-lawrence/13361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Two-thirds of the NWSL still play on artificial surfaces (eye roll). Lawrence would be more suited to grass than Buchanan, so if it's true glad to hear she is going somewhere suited to her game. And Charlety is a fantastic venue in downtown Paris. It would also be good timing, PSG need help in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc-in-bc Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hal Kaiser @Hal_Kaiser 2h2 hours ago Updated intl slots: Bos: 0, CRS: 2, Hou: 0, FCKC: 0, Orl: 0, NC: 1, PTFC: 1, SRFC: 2, SBFC: 1, Was: 2 3 replies 5 retweets 3 likes [ 1 ] If Kailen Sheridan doesn't come with an automatic allocation to the NWSL by CSA then her chances of being drafted into the NWSL are low. At this moment, there are only 9 total international slots still open prior to the 2017 NWSL college draft. To begin with, one can rule out Boston, Houston, Kansas, and Orlando who all have no open slots left. In addition, seven of these open slots belong to four teams with strong defenses/goal keeping: - Portland Thorns: the best goals against in NWSL in 2016 with 19 GA ( Betos/Franch) -Chicago Red Stars : 20 GA in 2016 ( Naeher/Dalton) , tied for third in the NWSL -Seattle Reign : 21 GA in 2016 ( Kopmeyer/Solo/Tostanoski ) , tied for fifth in the NWSL -Washington Spirit: 21 GA in 2016 ( Labbe/ Wys ), tied for fifth in the NWSL [ 2 ] To me, that only leaves two teams North Carolina ( the recently relocated and 2016 NWSL Champions WNY Flash) and Sky Blue, both with only one open international slot. In 2016, WNY's 26 GA was ranked sixth in the NWSL but they already have one Canadian keeper on the team : Sabrina D'Angelo. Thus, Sky Blue is really Sheridan's best chance in to be drafted into NWSL: their 30 GA was ranked eighth in the NWSL in 2016 and the goal keeping tandem of Stanley/Casey while serviceable were unimpressive. [ 3 ] If behind the scenes it is understood that Sheridan will be automatically allocated by the CSA then she is in play with all ten teams of the draft and probably rated the #2 GK prospect behind Stanford's Jane Campbell [ side note ] TBH, the club status of keepers like Solo and Labbe is a little up in the air.

Blackdude Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Kaylyn Kyle and Josée Bélanger are not allocated in NWSL this year. They are in a weird draft that will happen soon. Nichelle Prince and Kailen Sheridan are allocated. Lindsay Agnew isn't. So here are the 10 allocated players per team Boston: Chapman Houston: Beckie, Prince Kansas City: Scott North Carolina: D'Angelo Portland: Sinclair Seattle: Matheson Sky Blue: Sheridan Washington: Labbé, Zadorsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc-in-bc Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Brazil are going to have at least 7 players in the NWSL this season . None of them allocated by their federation ( CBF) . In contrast, Canada has 11 players in the NWSL and the CSA has to subsidize 10 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I mean, we have 3-4 players who are on the national team playing abroad which we didn't have at the beginning of NWSL. Also, we had a lot of players who weren't playing and I'm sure the CSA didn't like how it worked before. I think a lot of them are expected to have minutes which wasn't the case before.

tc-in-bc Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 [ 1 ] So it was Josee Belanger's decision not to return to the NWSL : QUOTE: Josée Bélanger wanted to leave the National Women’s Soccer League to spend some time back home in Montreal, where she has business interests with her longtime boyfriend, according to the club. QUOTE: After Bélanger, 30, returned from winning a bronze medal in Rio, she told the Orlando Sentinel she was conflicted about whether to continue playing soccer for another international cycle. Her body had been bruised and broken over the years and she wanted to have children some day, she said. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-city-lions/on-the-pitch/os-sp-soccer-insider-alicia-delgallo-0126-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
