Osborne Out
US Soccer reports that Leslie Osborne has suffered an ACL tear and is out for the Olympics. Osborne's presence on the field and as a positive support to her teammates will be missed.
Osborne is a steady source of encouragement to the team. She is always one of the first to congratulate a goal scorer and when she's on the bench, she's their greatest cheerleader.
At the match in Cary last month, Osborne was dinged up and not on the roster. She watched the match from a luxury box with the other players that weren't rostered for the match. Late in the match, after Australia equalized, I heard a very loud voice yelling "Come on white! Let's go!" I looked down from my seat in the press box and saw that Osborne had come down from her comfy seat to brave the weather and cheer on her team in their time of need. It made me smile as it was typical Leslie.
Fair Game wishes Leslie a speedy recovery and looks forward to seeing her back on the field soon.
