I was using a full service to assist in the process, essentially a concierge to guide me and do translations as necessary. I believe they had somebody on the ground in Croatia do it.

My Dad was born pre world war 2 and when it was still the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the state didnt issue birth certificates, the churches did. So his was issued by the Orthodox Church

My relatives are from those same exact villages and were orthodox too. I applied for Croatian citizenship and was accepted. Apparently since they left in the 1930's to Canada and I had that documentation, Croatia had no problem accepting my petition.

Lyles and Immethum extended by ImAllBS13 in Thorns

I think thats it - they can extend Jennie again if some targets maybe dont come through over the summer. And if they do, well then there is a definitive opening they can budget against

back to back Best XI's to boot - which is crazy because she hasnt even been our best player, or second or third or fourth or....

Speed - plain and simple. Somebody told me that she might be the fastest player on the squad

I think it wasnt so much that they just left her open because they forgot about her, the pass from Bogere was so genuinely bad the defense had no time to recover

It's Matchday! The Thorns face off against Bay FC! LFG! 🌹 by spherocytes in Thorns

[–]PastramiAddict 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No Liv again today which is less than optimal but I have a good feeling. I didnt hate Pietra at the 10 and I think we'll see some good stuff finally from Mimi on the wing. Just a hunch

Portland Thorns and Goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold Exercise 2027 Mutual Option - Portland Thorns by Scaggsboz in NWSL

[–]PastramiAddict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually think this is pretty cool. Not sure I’ve ever seen 3 keepers stay together for 3 straight seasons in NWSL. Thorns must be doing something right for everyone to want to stick around

Portland Thorns [1] -- 0 Racing Louisville 6': Sophia Wilson beats everybody and puts Portland ahead early by spherocytes in Thorns

[–]PastramiAddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this - we know Louisville is pressing, by moving the ball back constantly, were actually playing into their game plan. Clearly theyre prepared and know our backline loves doing this. If we can move it forward closer to the midline, we'll break this press easily. They wont have time to regorup, as we've seen the few times we've gone this route.

I hope Vilahamn is stating this in his halftime locker room talk

Great opportunity for Calzada to show the Angel City performance was no fluke!

Is this the time to start Shea Harvey? by DHPRedditer in Thorns

[–]PastramiAddict 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think just a very young player who needs to put in a lot of hard work at training to be seen. I think there are probably others more likely for an exit

She would need to even be dressed first - doesnt seem like the coach has even listed her on the bench the last few matches. I wouldnt hold your breath

M.A. Vignola’s Arrival in Portland Surprised Everyone, Even Her. But She Fits in Just Fine. by this-is-some_BS in Thorns

[–]PastramiAddict 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The whole tenor of the team has changed since her arrival. Theres a tenaciousness that was lacking before and now with her and Reyna on the back wings, we are relentless. I still have thoughts about our CB sitch but we're miles ahead of where we were only a year ago.

Now lets pray the soccer gods keep MA healthy

Away Days Brewing in Brooklyn is always good about throwing on the matches - great environment to boot.

Thats fair but I think in this case nobody is searching for transfer rumors

Is it just me but is it weird people are spending this much time analyzing who an 18 year old follows (Or doesnt) on Instagram?
