Happy New Year Claire.

thornes rebuilding entire back line, with three long time players gon and new players signed. midfield for uswnt needs shake up. Horan/lovell combo does not work and are a weakness when on field. love your show always entertaining and insightful.

Hello Claire. An enjoyable set of predictions, just my favourite rugby seems not to have won you over yet, even after such a great showing from US sevens at the Olympics. The woman player voted best in the world this year at Rugby Union was from my family home town, which I realised after hearing her speak and checking, like something from Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady. I also suspected because she played like a Rugby League player, the sport here nearesr to NFL. Maybe soon it would be a player with a US accent from the progress of the sport in your country? Happy New Year or Hogmanay to you and anyone reading this comment.

Thr thing I'd like to see the NWSL do is to achieve greater predictability in where their games can be seen. The current hodgepodge means that a great game isn't available to fans unless they buy What seems like six different streaming subscriptions. And ion? It's not available in every market. A fix is needed.

One thing that seems obvious to me is if you don't have a Banda or Chawinga (Tabitha or Temwa) on your team, you are probably not going to win the shield, the championship or the golden boot. It doesn't matter how many USWNT players you have on your team.
