Does she merit a spot in the Ring of Honor? That's a tough call. She was an incredible player for NC, the missing piece who propelled them to dominate the league for two years. But she played for only two seasons. I don't really know.

I don't think her exits from NWSL teams tarnish her legacy.

That said, it's funny (to me) that her least messy exit was forcing a trade from the Courage to their arch-enemy.

Courage are now at 9 forwards. Two remaining roster spots, and we need a body each at defensive mid and center back.

I suspect we're saying goodbye to the last OG Meredith Speck and to Tyler Lussi.

I hear it's really easy these days to get work visa for a guy from Lebanon who used to be named Mohamed.

That said, this is an amazing bit of business by the Courage. We net, I believe, around $850,000 in this sale. We need two elite wingers for next season.

As I have said before, the perfect player for this team is Gio Queiroz. We need someone of that skill set, pace, and caliber.

Hopefully, we'll get a chance to see her next season.

But she's out of contract, and it would not be a huge surprise to see her sign with the new hometown team in Boston.

Vine has not been able to do it. Gome either doesn't have the speed or hasn't really been given a chance.

Wingate is exactly the kind of player we've been missing this season. I couldn't help think how much damage she could have done when Shaw was in the deep playmaking role on Saturday.

That doesn't seem to be the direction they're going in. 🤷‍♀️

Just an embarrassing lack of professionalism in this coaching search.

Looks like they're interviewing outside candidates. Happening pretty quickly.

Also, regardless of the coach, I expect to lose about 8 of the UFAs, maybe more. It's also possible some players currently under contract will leave.

In short, we have a lot of roster spots to fill, and we need a coach and a "project" to recruit players. No one is going to sign without a coach.
