The USWNT announced its Olympic roster, and we have notes!

Players not on the roster

- Lily Yohannes was not included on the roster, but it's not so simple as her being "left off." Dino did some reporting, and we have the inside scoop. After that, we talked about the potential implications of Yohannes not being in the squad

- Croix Bethune is an alternate, and that's cool and all, but could the USWNT miss her incredible passing ability as a true No. 10?

- No Alex Morgan, either. We discussed why that could have been and salute the legend, who will surely get more time with the national team eventually, including a much-deserved retirement tour when the time comes

The positional units

- We take a look at the keepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards selected to the squad and detail what we like about the versatility and continuity of the squad

- But we also looked at some potential holes in the skills this team might need to win the gold medal

The ITC Starting 11

- You know we love to put together a starting 11, so we did exactly that, starting from starting GK (take a guess), and working our way forward

How far can this team go?

- We wrapped things up by walking through the bracket after the group stage and making wayyyyyy too early predictions because sports punditry is supposed to be fun and we like to do that
