Comment by Women's Soccer United on April 19, 2012 at 10:28: Great video, thanks Crystal :)

Comment by vanjory on April 18, 2012 at 19:18: Yea, exactly! I realize I left out Pinoe. She is good too but got very little match time in recent matches...a sub as compared to being a starter.

Comment by Women's Soccer United on April 18, 2012 at 18:43: Such a tough choice! Every one of these players will be desperate to be selected to compete at the London 2012 Olympics. I would take Morgan without a doubt, she always gives 100%, has fantastic pace and scores a lot of goals.

Wow tough choice. It's strange that she has included Christen Press which I've not seen often (in matches), not sure about the rest of you. I've read once before that she is a great forward who scores lots of goals too. I am going with Abby, Alex and Leroux as her selection. But at the same time. Cheney is also good. So it will be a tough selection unless Pia chooses to take all 4 forwards.

Defenders

Buehler
Rampone (definitely)
LePelibet
O'Hara (who has done and performed exceptionally well in her new playing position thus far)
Mitts
Steph Cox

Midfielders

Shannon Boxx
Tobin Heath
Carli Lloyd
HAO
A-Rod
Lori Lindsey

Keepers

Hope
Barney

But again, it's a tough choice to pick, esp the outfield players. Not sure if Pia will take 3 keepers or 2. If 2, then there's space for one more out field player.
