I just saw that, good for her, hopefully this time around she stays healthy and makes the team, if not for her injury towards the end of camp last season she would have made the team.

Wasn't she playing professionally in Italy? How did she become part of Great Britain's National Team? I'm confused!

She left early this year for personal reasons.
According to the article, she is a naturalised player.what i am confused about is how?when she is British by descent?

Good for Karlie! I don't like L.A., but if Parker retires, that could change.

I like the Sparks....mainly because my fave BU player plays there.

I'm not a big Parker fan, but having Nneka and Wiese and now Karlie cancels that out.

Great Britain need all the help they can get.
An aging squad with not too many quality prospects around.
