Why We Love Her: Praise Tobin! Tobin attacks the ball with ferocity and fervour and manages to link play between the defence and the forwards quite nicely. She’s got mad ball skills as seen in her Nutmeg videos and in her juggling videos and these translate to her ball skills on the pitch. There are only a handful of times that I can count where Tobin has look intimidated by her opponents despite them sometimes having the upper hand when it comes to experience.
Prediction: Tobin didn’t see a whole lot of time during the World Cup (on in the 108th min vs. Brazil, 87th min vs. France and Japan) which is most likely due to the incredibly strong midfield combinations that Pia has to choose from in the form of Boxxy, A-Rod, Pinoe etc. With only 18 people to choose from I think Tobin will struggle to be a sure fire choice this Olympics especially with the aforementioned players being on their game. Personally I’d love to see her there and I’ll be rooting for her.

Cheers :-) I thought she had but I couldn’t find the article to reference it and double check so I didn’t want to stir the pot and get in trouble ;) It’ll be a sad day when they leave especially Captain America :’(
