Couldn't help but notice during the SJ/Portland preseason game yesterday the halftime introduction for #Quakes74 of "trialist" Jonathan Gonzalez. Yes, *that* Jonathan Gonzalez, the former Monterrey midfielder who at one time was viewed as the dual national who got away from the #usmnt.

There's something interesting happening with perception of the Quakes before the season starts.
Normally, fans of teams feel more optimistic about their team than the league writers. With the Quakes it's the opposite & very stark.
Here's a thread breakdown on why.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

The value is probably right, but I'm not sure how the Current replaces Hutton's value in possession, and as a 20 year old CM with 3800 NWSL minutes, she's still improving.
