The list of NWSL "allocated players" (meaning those players whose salaries are subsidized by either the U.S. or Canadian federation) came out, and Tierna Davidson is added to the list for this year, but Sophia Smith is not. Not a brobdingnagian shock, as I believe Mallory Pugh is the only player who was an allocated player her rookie season. Another sign that while Smith is a future star in this league and for the USWNT, she's not quite there yet. The surprises to me were Lynn Williams and Andi Sullivan being left off the list, when I think both of them are favored to make the Olympic roster over some players who are still allocated (like Allie Long and Morgan Brian, most notably).
