After a quiet November, national teams are gearing up for lots of action again in December as six Dash players were called up for duty.
The United States wraps up its Victory Tour with four games in December. Midfielders Morgan Brian and Carli Lloyd have been called up for matches against Randy Waldrum’s Trinidad & Tobago team (Honolulu, Dec. 6; San Antonio, Dec. 10) and China (Phoenix, Dec. 13; New Orleans, Dec. 16).
The Torneio Internacional de Natal will take place Dec. 9-20 in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, and feature Brazil, Canada, Croatia and Mexico. Midfielder Andressa has been called into the Brazil squad, which will also take on New Zealand in a pair of friendly matches on Nov. 28 and Dec. 1. Goalkeeper Erin McLeod and defender Allysha Chapman were called into Canada’s camp for the tournament, and goalkeeper Bianca Henninger joined the Mexico national team camp. This is the first senior team call-up for Henninger, who went through the U.S. youth national team system and was named the U.S. Soccer Young Female Athlete of the Year in 2010.
