Vaguely remember reading that. Reason I ask is that I had a debate with a few friends a while back on whether or not a Mullens-lead Jesuit team could beat the USWNT. We just used that as a barometer because they are a solid program regionally with an elite domestic prospect. There's obviously a huge jump between a solid HS program and the U-17 national teams but still.

I would take the Jesuit team for sure. That's basically what I am saying. You need a high school team that is probably about that good to compete. Plenty of club teams are much better than high school teams and wouldn't have any trouble at all.

I'm 6'1, played basketball through high school so I can jump and react reasonably well. If you have me a 2-3 week training camp to get comfortable tracking the ball and learning the defense I have no doubt I could do it. Solo looks like a gladiator out there, and someone just said she's 5'9.

I think goalie is the easiest position though (excluding the PK argument which was hysterical). I workout a lot but NO WAY could I keep up with those girls fitness wise. I'm always stunned how fit soccer players are.

I have little doubt I could be above average as a goalie though.
