Who do you hope to see the Portland Thorns bring back?
Sauerbruun wonderful leadership and seems have another year in her legs, and Spaanstra is young, fast and showed real potential at KC (who is loaded with forwards).
I'd bring Becky and Spaanstra back, and let all the others explore free agency or mosey off into the sunset.
