Agree on not scheduling UNC. And if we take this step, I hope somehow other top teams take notice. Makes me angry whenever I think about it, a reckless dangerous unnecessary foul that would not have resulted in anything had she managed to kick the ball anyway. The circumstances were so egregious one I'm sorry to say I've at least thought about it possibly being intentional. It was certainly an I-don't-care-if-she-is-injured-by-this foul.
It is possible that, if the fracture was up above the ankle and her ankle ligaments were not damaged, a break might actually be better than a severe ankle sprain in the long run because it will heal fully and be as strong as before. A severely sprained ankle will always be weaker and subject to re-injury. But I don't think she will play again this season for us. She should be healing and rehabbing for the upcoming World Cup. I hope the time away, and missing the qualifiers, will not hurt her chances of playing/starting in the World Cup.
