Now THAT is cool. I've been stewing about some choices made in the area with head coaching positions. ( ain't naming no names) that I though Michelle could handle better.


This appointment makes that look pretty OK.

Hooray! And, congratulations to Michelle!!!!

Ditto on the congratulations, she is very deserving of this opportunity.

Yeah, I was stewing about those as well. She deserved the Seattle Reign position after she led the star-studded Sounders Women team last year. Why hire an international head coach (Reign again) when the US is so dominant in the sport and Frenchie is the cream of the crop?

However, I'm still very excited about how many UP products are going to be in the local rivalry such as Rapinoe vs. Sinclair! Hard to complain there...
