USWNT ROSTER! New Zealand friendly

GOALKEEPERS: Nicole Barnhart, Ashlyn Harris, Jill Loyden, Hope Solo

DEFENDERS: Rachel Buehler, Stephanie Cox, Whitney Engen, Amy LePeilbet, Heather Mitts, Kelley O’Hara, Christie Rampone, Becky Sauerbrunn

MIDFIELDERS: Yael Averbuch, Shannon Boxx, Tobin Heath, Meghan Klingenberg, Lori Lindsey, Carli Lloyd, Kristie Mewis, Christine Nairn, Heather O’Reilly, Megan Rapinoe, Amy Rodriguez, Keelin Winters

FORWARDS: Lauren Cheney, Sydney Leroux, Alex Morgan, Abby Wambach

YEAH! See you there with our DDs!

My DD is pumped. She can't wait to see Abby Wambach

US soccer website says over 14,000 tickets sold and the stadium only holds 20,500 it should be a great atmosphere. My dd only hopes that Solo is included in the 18 coming to town. Since she has that thigh injury we hope it doesn't keep her out.

My dd will be bummed if Hope is not starting

Looking at the USWNT team web-site, it looks like they will be training in Frisco all of next week. Has anyone heard anything about whether there will be any practice sessions that the public can watch?

BW, you need to change your location. It is Comanche Peak, not Point.

If you like US soccer on facebook they usually post when they have open practice. But shhhh don't tell anybody.

I think I would rather have teeth pulled than pay to watch Rachel Buehler, Stephanie Cox, Shannon Boxx, Tobin Heath, Carli Lloyd or Amy Rodriguez. I would rather have dinner with Heather Mitts than watch her play. At least they have a few new faces. But looking at Pia's history of starting the old guard, I am so not interested.

My kiddo can't wait to see them play. Finding a USA shirt for her to wear to the game is impossible.

Imagine that... Nuke'em correcting me on the name of the Nuclear Power Plant

Sorry, it's the D**n Yankee in me coming out. Grew up close to Indian Point on the Crudson...

We are driving up and dd and some of her teammates are pumped. DD is hoping to see Cheney.

Indian Point, that is a lovely location. I'm surprised that one is still running

Any word yet on open practices in Frisco? They are here all week.

Heck, it might be fun to watch the Kiwis practice too. Where are they practicing? They should be here early to get over the 12+ hour time difference.

Yikes!

Any update on the open practice for today? Is it still on with the rain we had?

Good question, I hope its on.

Brrrrrr!

Temperatures will slowly fall behind the cold front and wind speeds will increase between 10 and 20 mph along with some higher gusts. Cloudy skies will prevail through the morning...but clouds will be on the decrease this afternoon.

Theres no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing.

A good excuse to wear your USA beanies, flag bandannas, red white and blue underarmor, and I know all your DDs have furry boots, cause I see em after the games even.

A bunch of tailgate parties already, so show up early.

Enjoy the cold cause remember last summer?

See you there!

Holy cow, sold out!

And look at this:
"U.S. Soccer officials say Saturday’s game will be the highest-attended USWNT game on U.S. soil since 1999."

WAY TO GO NORTH TEXAS!
