It’s been an interesting 2018 season for United States forward Christen Press. Controversy surrounded the 29-year-old when allocated United States Women’s National team players returned to National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) rosters in March. Every player allocated returned to their club with the exception of Press. She was unhappy with the results of a blockbuster three team trade that saw Carli Lloyd join Sky Blue FC, Sam Kerr join the Chicago Red Stars, and Christen Press join the Houston Dash.
