Q: What chances would you give the following of making the USA World Games roster as of right now?

1) John Randolph (in my opinion a first team All-Club player this year but has anyone so young ever made a team like this? He’s at about 20% for me)
2) Anna Thompson (basically can copy paste the above. I think her chances are even lower given how stacked the women’s field is. I’d say 15%)
3) Sandy Jorgensen (such a unique talent but could she be aging out or not want to play? 20%)
4) Any of the Stubbs siblings (10%)
5) Any player that played club mixed in 2021 (surprisingly low, I’d say 40%)
6) Any player that played club outside SF, NYC, or SEA in 2021 (45%)
