Huge jump from NZ National League to playing the world champs!! But wonder if any of the NL players stand out, the Nix ALW side could sign them to short term season ending deal(s). They have a pretty skinny squad.

Football Ferns v United States
Football Ferns squad
Goalkeepers: Lily Alfeld, Erin Nayler, Murphy Sheaff
Defenders: Liz Anton, Mackenzie Barry, Ally Green, Anna Green, Rebecca Lake, Grace Neville, Ali Riley, Ashleigh Ward
Midfielders: Hannah Blake, Olivia Chance, Daisy Cleverley, Betsy Hassett, Deven Jackson, Aniela Jensen, Jana Radosavljević, Grace Wisnewski
Forwards: Ava Collins, Jacqui Hand, Grace Jale, Tayla O’Brien, Gabi Rennie, Emma Rolston, Paige Satchell
so does that keeper list make Alfied or Nayler #1? I'm assuming Sheaff is there for the experience? I was kind of hoping that Nayler had seen her last NZ squad given her performances have not been that flash.
