What if God was one of us?
Prayed for Trin like one of us?
Pulled her off the injury bus
So you can still live your life at home

Lu Barnes was front and center from the Reign's dawn. Here she's about to lead Seattle out to the first 2013 preseason match in Okinawa, Japan. Sweet Lu, we wish you only the best. #TBT

Perform. Speak up for your teammates. Create a culture everyone wants to be a part of -- all while dealing with immense uncertainty, at her club and in the league.

I tried to put into words just how impressive Lauren Barnes' run at Seattle Reign has been.

"He’s a very energetic and happy guy that is contagious good energy," Mauricio Pochettino says of Cristian Roldan.

The midfielder is suddenly a #USMNT fixture again after two years, yet it feels like he never left.

Can he hustle his way to another World Cup squad?

Cristian Roldan is back with the USMNT, and it feels like he never left

After over two years without a callup, the veteran midfielder has fit perfectly into the Americans’ new tactical setup. He's also showing manager Mauricio Pochettino how valuable he is off the field.
