I love how as fans, we've come up with several perfect replacements for Vlatko, from coaching legend Laura Harvey to the incredible retired forward Abby Wambach to our amazing player-turned-podcaster Tobin Heath to even current players like the one and only Megan Rapinoe.
But honestly, at this point, I don't think we need the perfect replacement for Vlatko. I think we could take any guy off the street who's just willing to listen to our experienced players and do what they say, and it would be 1000000 times better.
No,no, no, this is her world, and we are just living in it. Here for the WAY overdue Emily Sonnett era 👏 And her 'vibes' she brings on the field, lol. Love Laura Harvey reittering what we already knew, what she knew as well. Here for all of it.
Gotta say the come down from the WWC has been rough. This one is getting me through it. That and the fact I still pinch myself that I got to see her play live. I need another holiday STAT.
I just have to get this off my chest also, but Sonnett was traded from the Spirit. Laura Harvey not only knew the potential of picking up Sonnett but properly executed her in a DM position. A role Sonnett has experience in, something this tumblr fandom knew all too well.
There, I said it.
That, and I love the positivity our tumblr fandom brings 😁
