Our Game Twitter Chat

After releasing our March Issue, we’re excited to conduct our first-ever Twitter chat. All chats will include topics from the most recent print magazine and take place after each production. Our Game staff members and several contributing writers will be available to answer questions and talk through the content of the issue. Each chat we will provide start-up questions, but we expect that the conversations will take on a course of their own. We are looking forward to hearing from our readers!

3. What about NWSL makes you optimistic?

4. What are the pros and cons to early recruiting and commitment in the college game?
