I'm going to guess that one of the 'keepers and one of the defenders don't make the final roster..don't ask me which ones they'll be, that's as far as I want to try to guess what Pia will do.

I would like to see Harris playin for USWNT! She is a great goalkeeper!
Cox was named to replace injured Krieger, but I think PiaSundhage will likely put on the field O'Hara or Heather Mitts

No way Cox has speed of Krieger, that I've seen. And I agree, Harris is good, but they all are, that will be a tough one.
