I admittedly don't watch much women's soccer outside of WC or Olympics, how does NWSL compare quality-wise to the French or German leagues?

I'll be very curious to see if they kick her off of the national team. That'll take some balls

They would never do that, Alex is the face of the team....notice I didn't say best player I'll be honest Alex is a decent player but no where near the world's best, I think she's average technically but has good speed and able to make runs to get behind, but putting the ball on the floor and dribbling players is not her thing. Abby's problems were well known within the team but not publicly because she never got in trouble while playing. Hopes issues are well documented, Alex hasn't done anything to warrant not being in the USWNT going forward.

I'm talking about the rule, whereby all WNT players must play in whatever the domeatic pro league is? was?
I remember a couple players were told they must leave GOOD teams in Europe and sign domestic deals and play on crappy turf and baseball fields... if they wanted to go to the last WC.
I think it is a great move for Alex.

From a marketing perspective she probably has a chance to become a french superstar (if she isn't already). Top WNBA players are doing it, they have no choice to make a living they have to play in Europe/Russia etc.
