It is really hard to tell the players’ perspective of an ongoing story when the players with actual power don’t speak publicly. Players always like to remind us that we in the media ‘aren’t there every day’ but we can’t do anything about that if nobody speaks to us and we can’t attend training

more stars media gripes: 2 weeks in a row, Grosso's bumped from pre-match media. We haven't had access to her, or Staab and Swanson in months. Post match media tends to be rookies or bench players. It's hard to talk about how the more veteran players feel right now when we can't talk to them.

#USWNT head coach Emma Hayes said it is her "hope" that forward Catarina Macario will be at the January training camp. That is the most definitive timeline there has been for Macario's return. She last played for club or country in December 2025. That could be good news for the 2027 World Cup.

Hayes on the u-20 development, and the need for players to get minutes “I look at Micayla Johnson, who played more games in the first three games in the U.S. than she has the whole year. And how can you compete in tournaments when you're not playing on a regular basis?”

One. So then, when you talk about things like tournament durability, you've got to play a game every three or four days. Then I look at Michaela Johnson, who played more games in the first three games in the U.S. than she has the whole year.
52:28
And how can you compete in tournaments when you're not playing on a regular basis? Does that mean she's not talented enough? No, far from it. It means that creating this development gap, and I've said it for since I've been in this job, getting it right between the ages and 17 to 21 is a issue for us in this country, without question. Because at the last World Cup, we had seven or eight players that had come from the pro game. That was quite a that was a great class.
A lot of them have progressed. This time we have the same number, but we have even more pros that are playing. It didn't mean more of those pros were playing with the under 20s. So when you look at Spain mandatory to go and play for your country at all age groups, look at the connections they build up from the youngest ages

Sentnor losing a spot to Sanchez makes sense, but I am surprised to see Shaw cut with the options on the table, no Bethune and no Moultrie. I will also continue the agenda that Yaz Ryan should be in the squad. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
