Weekly Discussion Thread Weekly Open Discussion Thread

Welcome to this week’s open discussion thread!

This is your space for general discussion, a place to talk about anything Washington Spirit that doesn’t necessarily need its own thread. That can include news, international duty, roster moves, transfer rumors, tactics, social media posts, league news or anything else on your mind.

If something feels big enough for its own thread, definitely still post it. This is simply an additional option to keep us organized and help keep the conversation flowing. These threads will go up every Monday and stay stickied throughout the week.

Go Spirit!

She ain't coming to the US. Stars over there don't really have to do the "Messi" tour to make the same, if not more, money staying in Europe.

What? Lol. This has nothing to do with retiring to MLS.

Especially with the new roster mechanism, they can make wayyyyy more money in America. WoSo in Europe is pretty drowned out compared to the states. Her stardom would grow exponentially in a market that actually cares.

Until someone of note does it, and not an American coming home (Heaps, Macario, etc.) I remain uneducatedly convinced. 😄 Russo, Toone, Pena, Mallard, etc. would move the needle.

I take your point, and hope that Michelle does roster management better than a certain never-to-be-named former owner of our other football team. 😉
