Double-Day

U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage canceled the morning sessions on the field, so the players will just lift weights in the a.m. and hit the field in the afternoon. If there was ever a training camp that has served as a “pre-season” for the WNT, this would be it. The team has worked extremely hard and efficiently over the past two weeks with just a few days off, and after a week off before heading to Portugal for the Algarve Cup, the team should be fit and played in once they arrive in Europe. The players have one last scrimmage on Saturday morning, which will be an important match for several players who may be on the bubble as far as making the Algarve roster. By the way, it is a spectacular day in Los Angeles today.
