“Its kind of frustrating. I play with Eniola Aluko, an English player, and we were talking just the other day about how sad it is that England really doesnt have a womens league because they have some incredible players, some of the best players in the world. And they dont have a womens league! Germany, Japan, has a womens league. WPS is what American players have talked about for years and fortunately we have great support for soccer, we can make this our livelihood, and we can put every ounce of time and money and passion into our sport, which is also our job.”
