Q & A: Hayley Raso talking Matildas, pronouncing "Ellie," and which Thorns should pick you up at the airport

Prior to the ongoing Tournament of Nations, Timbers.com tried to catch up with Thorns FC attacker Hayley Raso for a hard-hitting interrogation about the most important issues in the world's game. Instead, we ended up discussing touch football, how to pronounce players names, and which player who'd most want to pick you up from the airport.

Here's our Q & A with the Australian international from before her departure:

Richard Farley: Say ... you were away from the Thorns for, like, six months, and you were at a competition like the Asian Cup, and you had to come back and have one teammate meet you at the airport and have flowers waiting for you at home, would that be?
