Not particularly knocking McKaskill -- she has looked good this season -- but she’s really never been more than hard working and occasionally impactful at any of her previous stops.

She’s a perfectly competent complementary player (tho I do think she tries to do too much too frequently), but you’re right: She can’t be your number 1 make-something-happen player, especially for a club like ACFC.

I know this is off topic, but Sophia’s boyfriend was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals today. Seems like a smart, polished young man

Let's hope he lands there. Phoenix and Portland are easy flying distance. Phoenix is a nice spot for off-season conditioning for NWSLers.

Yeah, I was thinking it’s a good off-season spot for Soph to get some sun to balance out the PNW winters. More than a couple weeks in Phoenix and you’re begging for Portland weather again lol…

FC Tucson Toast seem like an unlikely expansion club for NWSL.

Part of me was worried that San Francisco or LA would draft him. Phoenix is actually perfect in that getting back and forth to Portland is easier. Him being in the league for a while probably helps the position to keep her in the NWSL. She’s the best I’ve seen at her age.
