Olivia Moultrie

Yeah.

Do you imagine if we were talking about Portland Thorns with a healthy Olivia Moultrie? I mean, that would be a completely different picture here for Portland Thorns with the impact that she has.

Obviously, I've been watching her videos here for recovery.

She's at least starting to jump there a little bit, recovering from that ACL surgery.

They had a lot of unknowns.

Losing Olivia Moultrie, that's a huge loss.

Huge.

She's so good.

I would say a trick for everybody else.

When we go back to the Portland game, you know, we would, we showed a couple of players missing this game.

We obviously had Olivia Moultrie out, but also Morgan Weaver and Sophia Wilson missed that game.

Morgan, I believe had a knock and Sophia Wilson still serving her suspension, serving her time.

For the rest of time.

At number 30, we have Katerina Macario and Olivia Moultrie tied.

And, you know, I understand her knees have caused her to drop many, many positions in this list or in anybody's top 30 players list.

That just is what happens when you are not playing soccer or go into hiding as she did once she came to San Diego.

i uh this is where it started to kind of unravel for me is having her at 24th uh if we can foreshadow the spots right above her are uh tara rudd and kate del fava

hilarious

yeah if you're gonna if you're gonna demote her for being injured Why is she not in the Kat Macario, Olivia Moultrie, Kribathoon Memorial 30th spot? Because I don't think she'll be back for Brazil, personally.

Yeah.

She now just jumps a pretty impressive pocket of people that sat with six as like a shared record.

And that includes Sam Kerr, Mal Swanson, Trinity Rodman, Jaden Shaw, Olivia Moultrie, and Emery Adamas.

okay i mean

that's still mel's better than all of them that's what i'm gonna say that is a

Former

teens.

Wait, I thought that Olivia Moultrie was the only former teen ever.

Yeah, she was the teen for a while.

Yeah, I think it's going to be a pretty good matchup.

Our producers also reminding us that Olivia Moultrie had a season ending injury.

So it's going to be a pretty good game there.

It's their last home game.

We're going to build a 26-player roster with the expectation that that will be the World Cup roster.

I have Katerina Macario, Emily Sonnet, and Olivia Moultrie as unavailable players to me because of injury.

While they obviously would all be unavailable tomorrow, maybe some wouldn't be next summer.

How do you feel about that list?

yeah we

got defoe back uh it's been a really long time since she's been on the field and this is i mean obviously besides uh bella bixby and olivia moultrie this is the healthiest i feel like our rosters looked we do not have our

We got people coming off the injury list.

Our

I love that you mentioned Mel Barcenas.

She set a new NWSL single-season record for goals by a teenager, seven of them, and that surpasses the previous record shared by Sam Kerr, Mal Swanson, Trinity Rodman, Jaedyn Shaw, Olivia Moultrie, and Emery Adams.

I mean, pretty, pretty big company to, to be alongside.

So massive.

And I'll just read them out because it is an extraordinary list.

Um, for the US it's Naomi Girma, Sam Coffey, Croy Bethune, Katerina Macario, Emily Sonnet, Olivia Moultrie.

And for Spain it's Aitana Bonmatí, Mapi León, Irene Paredes for the first game, Vicky López, Cata Coll, Claudia Pina, Olga Carmona, Mariona Caldentey, and if you really wanna stretch, stretch things back, Teresa Abella and Lea Alexandri.

What the hell are we supposed to learn about Spain given how many of those players are gone? And how much is Spain supposed to learn about the US given the players that they were missing?
