Just three months into his spell as the United States women’s national team head coach, Vlatko Andonovski completed his most urgent task: selecting a roster for this month’s Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
It involved a series of choices that were noteworthy, which was expected — 28 players, including all 22 eligible World Cup winners, were invited to camp before eight were cut for the 20 player roster mandated by Concacaf. So far, it has proved to be Andonovski’s most revealing act as USWNT coach.
“Making this roster was highly competitive,” Andonovski said in a conference call Friday.
