The third attempt at a women's pro league took another step towards reality when the league allocated 55 national team players from the United States, Canada and Mexico. (The national associations of the three countries will subsidize their salaries.) According to the official announcement from the league, the players' desires were considered along with the teams' choices and there was an effort to balance the talent among the eight.
Our old friend, Carli Lloyd, star of the Olympics, is going to Western New York along with teammate Abby Wambach. Wambach hails from that area but Lloyd of course does not. Nor was New Jersey's Heather O'Reilly assigned to the local Sky Blue club. She will be playing in Boston with former Philadelphia Charge defender Heather Mitts.
Coach P's favorite Canadian player, Diana Matheson, who played at Princeton, will be with the Washington Spirit.
The teams will take more shape when the college draft is held
