Correction to #26. I said that Macario, Swanson and Mallory Pugh were the future (assuming that Macario and Swanson make full recoveries). Instead of Mallory Pugh, I should have said Trinity Rodman, who is still very young but is going to be a great player if she stays healthy.
Mallory Pugh married Dansby Swanson last year and she uses her married name. Didn’t mean to double count her. She came up to the national team at age 17, still in high school, so we’ve been saying Mallory Pugh for a long time. Haven’t adjusted yet.
If all of them stay healthy, that’s going to be the best front line in the world in four years. In fact, cross your fingers and see if they’re all in form for the Olympics next year. They’re all still young. Two of the three were out of this World Cup due to injury.
We need to walk the walk before we talk that talk.
