The Equalizer leaked the USSF allocations a little ahead of the official release, but with the news in them, we don’t mind.
Tobin Heath, Lindsay Horan and Emily Sonnett return as allocated players for the Portland Thorns but they’re joined this year by a new face; Adrianna Franch, fresh off getting her first ever USWNT cap, will be a US Allocated player for 2019.
It’s fantastic news for the goalkeeper, who has been around USWNT camps since 2012, to finally be getting some official recognition for her efforts, along with the salary that regular USWNT members receive.
