    I thought it was a little odd, but it plays with the PTFC and the Rose City and all that.

    Holy shit. If Portland doesn't win with that combo up top, something is wrong with that team. I know you guys don't actually care about women's soccer, but Sinclair is amazing.

    Apparently the allocated players got to request their teams.

    Re: Alex Morgan coming to Portland

    Alex Morgan is adorable. Of course she only chose Portland to be closer to her BF in Seattle

    Re: Alex Morgan coming to Portland

    Seattle has a women's team. "Seattle Reign" Thats where Hope Solo, and Rapinoe were allocated to. Seems kinda weird for me though. Rapinoe is in Seattle, and Morgan is in Portland.

    Seattle looks tough. I don't know the foreign players for NY, but obviously Wambach is a beast. POR looks good. Are they going to be more popular than the Timbers?

    I don't follow soccer at all, but Alex Morgan is a superstar. Not just a women's soccer superstar, but a National one. I think the women's team will be super popular in Portland

    doubt it. Still will be popular, but even with these SOLID additions to the squad I doubt they get the waiting list for Season Tickets and all that.

    But it will succeed here in Portland, that I'm confident of.

    Might be more nationally recognized though?

    Heath/Saucedo/Sinclair/Morgan is a great nucleus.

    Sinclair and Morgan on the same front line means I'll pay to bring my girls to watch some quality soccer.

    Probably more excited for the Thorns season to start, but will enjoy both. Great entertainment for the price.
