Totally OT, but here's what I want:

A midseason All-Star game (I don't care how the sides are chosen), with a ROBUST skills competition and a REVIVAL of the best part of the NASL and early MLS -- the shootout! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRITqS6WEn0

Not sure why this hasn't happened yet honestly. Hosting it in California or Portland the first years would be amazing.

Alright gimme the West (PDX, Seattle, ACFC, SD, Houston, KC) vs. East (Chicago, Gotham, DC, Louisville, Orlando, NCC), traditional 4-3-3s:

West: Weaver-Morgan-Soph (Yeesh)

Debinha-Coffey-Fishlock (Yeesh x2)

Vignola-Girma-Lind-Huerta (There are not many good left backs so I threw ACFC a bone)

Sheridan

Subs: Hina, Thompson, Kizer, Sanchez

East: Rodman-Kerolin-Williams (Yeesh x3)

DeMelo-O'Sullivan-Sanchez (a lil too attacking tbh)

Fox-McKeown-Erceg-Krueger (again, a real shortage of good defenders)

Lund

Subs: Sullivan, Borges, Adriana, Bruninha

Who wins?

I might consider Balcer instead of Weaver based purely on production. West wins because they win the midfield battle. Assuming the game is played as a friendly with only light tackling, the final score could be 7-5.

Thought about that too. Settled on Weaver cause she’s both the better overall player and actually has more contributions (7 G/A vs. 6 G/A) than Balcer.

What about Dunn?

Hmm good point. I'd probably give her the Fishlock spot given Fishlock hasn't played as much....but I'm also trying to avoid having two teams playing with two 10s and havin too many Thorns.
