Island of Misfit Soccer Players?

[BobInMadison]

An article I found on Slate mentions a number of the ladies on the US World Cup Soccer team were rejected by elite teams in the past, and used that to inspire themselves to improve.

USA v. Japan Preview: Carli Lloyd, Morgan Brian, and Lauren Holiday describe their secret drive to win the World Cup.

Hey, I have a wonderful idea for a softball team. Someone could put together a group of rejects, call them something like the Island of Misfit Toys Castaways, and ...

Nah. Never going to happen.

I liked the article.

Add a couple of aging coaches and you might be on to something.
