Preview
“It’s frankly unbelievable that one team is legally permitted to have both McCall Zerboni and Sam Mewis. These two defensive midfield destroyer/creators have been among the best players in the league this season. They absolutely boss the central midfield, and both players can both set teammates up going forward and score themselves. Mewis is so much taller than everyone else that on the field, it looks like someone clicked on her and typed [setscale 1.5] into the console (sorry, I’m sorry). With teams seemingly targeting the 5’3 Andressinha these last few weeks, look for Horan to be on guard duty again, and cross your fingers she doesn’t pick up a fifth yellow.”
