So it’s 14 weeks and counting for Ali Krieger. Maybe more than ever, now is the time to show support. It’s the time for positive thinking. And now is the time to appreciate the immense work being done.
When she tweets about going to rehab in the morning, I notice how many hours ago it was - usually like 5 or 6. And then I remember she’s literally been working out the entire time since she sent it, and she isn’t done yet. I kind of wish she made a bigger deal out it, but I suppose she’s too humble to do so.
She’s just grinding away, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, all for a chance to kick a soccer ball again. There is no glamour in this. Just hard work.
If that doesn’t inspire you to do better in your own life, then you need to take a look at yourself. If you haven’t learned it yet, you will soon: It’s the everyday, mundane tasks that get stuff done in this world. Sure, everyone gets their occasional moments to shine. But that’s usually not what life is about.
I have to admit it’s an awesome time to be a fan right now because we’re on that journey a little bit. I hope she realizes we’re with her, every step of the way. No one has forgotten. No one is giving up. And no one will.
If that journey culminates with Ali making the Olympic roster, that would be truly extraordinary. My belief in that has not wavered since day one, but no matter when Ali Krieger returns, this little corner of the Internet will be celebrating like you would not believe.
And remembering the effort it took to get there.

ohmytobin answered your question: Why is Franch going to camp?
It’s a camp, it’s not like it’s the final roster. Camps are mean to test girls to see if they have what it takes to claim a spot on a team.I’m well aware it’s not a roster, thanks…
Calm yourself. You guys judge so hard. If they didn’t think she could help the team, she wouldn’t be there. You obviously can’t track her progress and sometimes it can just click. Honestly, this is a team sport. Hating on one person is basically shitting on the whole team. Just saying.
It’s not hate, it’s wondering why Pia’s bringing in a relatively young keeper who won’t be in the mix for the next couple months anyway. I’m just surprised, and I feel like it’s well within reason to question roster spots that aren’t traditional, like a 5th goalkeeper.

It just seems like a kick in the teeth to Ashlyn in particular and Jill…
And just… Franch? And not a more established goalie like Naeher? Although I don’t know what her contractual obligations with Potsdam are like.
