Wow... can't help but get excited reading this:

It also answers a question we had been discussing earlier... looks like Rachael Rapinoe will be playing up front from day one and that Scifo will give it a go in the back.

Interesting mention of Elli Reed as well... looks like she might lock down a starting spot.

Also said that the concourse improvements will be done by mid-season... wonder what it will look like in the meantime?

All in all, this may be the most talented team accross the board we have ever had. There are no weak spots, and players will compete in all areas of the field.

I'm excited!

I wonder if Elli Reed realizes how much the comparison to Queenie is worth?
Sure would be great if she lived up to it.
