Turkey has universal health coverage, so like every other place in the world, if you don't have coverage, you have to pay for it out of pocket, so "at certain income levels", it's not an issue. But Foluke won't be a tourist there. She might not be eligible for universal coverage in spite of her work visa, but she will be eligible to buy insurance, if her club doesn't provide it for her. But kudos on your reasoning that stray dogs and cats and healthcare is a reason not to raise a child in Istanbul. It's a miracle that people have survived there for thousands of years. You really will write anything to try and prove how “knowledgeable” and “right” you are. Well done. Problem though, when you try and prove a point, don’t change what I say to fit your unnecessary rant. It makes you look desperate and sad. Let me know when you find where I said stray dogs and cats were a reason not to raise a child in Turkey. Go ahead.. can’t wait for you to find some other words to spin so you look smarter than everyone. The act is tired. You're right. I must have misunderstood that specifically mentioning the stray dogs and cats was meant as a good thing.

I believe we’ve strayed slightly off topic. Good job everyone.

My “favorite” and “amazing” must have been edited in later.

My “favorite” and “amazing” must have been edited in later. I know a few pro players who continued to play with small children in tow. It's doable with the right support and attitude. If Guidetti were her coach, I bet he'd offer to babysit every now and then.

Time to update the poll. Gotta drop Lloyd and Gibbemeyer and add JWO and Hannah Tapp to it.

Select your 12-person team. Can the poll be edited? Lloyd and Gibbemeyer are gone and we should have JWO and H. Tapp on there.

My updated roster:
S: Carlini, Poulter OH: Robinson, MBH, Larson, Hill MB: Ogbogu, Akinradewo, Dixon Opp: Thompson, Drews L: Lake/JWO (who ever develops more over the next year)

She’s on rosters now because we get 14 spots (compared to 12 at the Olympics) and both Rettke and Akinradewo are unavailable. Her making it would be a big surprise to me.

Is Poulter considered the number 1 setter now?
Or is it Carlini?

Is Poulter considered the number 1 setter now? Or is it Carlini? That my friend is the million dollar question. The fact that they can both do the job is such a relief compared to where the team was last season.

Indeed it would surprise me too. However Akinradewo might not make that return and Rettke is still in college and like Washington moves pretty slowly to the pins. Tapp moves pretty quick and, even though she has seen limited time on court, she has been effective and had a pretty decent summer. She will also see lots of playing time in Japan where she will only get better as a blocker. I wouldn't count her out especially since Adams isn't playing over seas this season due to a knee injury.

If Hannah makes the Tokyo roster, it simply means we have no chance at a medal. She's a decent player, but not at the level we need against the very best teams.

Do we know when the official roster will be released? I know they just released the official roster for USA Softball for Tokyo.
