This post is coming to you live and direct from a co-location facility in San Jose, California! Yup. I’m bored as hell waiting for a disk to finish formatting so I figure I’d check in on the W-League playoffs and, to be honest, after following this league for a season, I’m all sorts [...]

As a follower of both the men’s and women’s sport, I often find myself smacked in the face by a certain glaring issue that pops up from time to time. Namely, the assumption by some, that I am only interested in the game for a little eye candy. Now, there certainly is [...]
I’ve got Olympics on my mind
By: Melissa | No Comments
I spent a considerable amount of time today writing out my thoughts on the political aspects of the upcoming Games as well as the history of protests among Olympic athletes. Unfortunately, I did this in lieu of the stuff that actually pays me but, uh, expect to see those ramblings sometime soon. In [...]
W-League playoffs set
By: Melissa | No Comments
I was a bit busy on Saturday losing my phone in the Bayview while watching a large metal sculpture shoot fire, so I missed the part where the W-League playoffs schedule and division titles were announced. These titles are for, what I can only assume are, the best records in each region. And [...]

To say it’s been a hard couple of days for me is a bit of an understatement. I’ve heard precarious arguments from our President regarding this oil crisis. I’ve heard disturbing comments from our Federal Reserve Chairman regarding this oh-no-it’s-really-not-a recession, and I’ve heard one of our presumptive Presidential candidate’s top economic advisors [...]
Better luck next year?

It’s not looking good for Jersey Sky Blue to make the W-League playoffs. The Washington Freedom just clinched berth #2, and The Long Island Rough Riders sit in third place with the same points, but less games played. And since I last wrote, FC Indiana clinched a spot and the title for their [...]
Not yet Abby
By: Melissa | No Comments
Amy Rodriguez scored the game winner against Brazil today, wrapping up the score at 1-0. Perhaps the July 16 friendly is Abby’s chance to hit 100 and the chance for the rest of us to come up with a brilliant drinking game to celebrate. So while we all wait impatiently for Wednesday’s game, [...]
On Playoffs and Head Coaches

I’m starting this post out not entirely WPS related but did ya see last night’s Classico? Great game. Nice to see Guzan finally coming back into form – and not just because I named my car after him. But on a slightly relevant note, the Classico started a little late because a [...]

WPS will begin securing domestic talent with the post-Olympics allocation of the U.S. Women’s National Team (WNT) and U.S. WNT Player Pool in mid-September, to be immediately followed with a draft [...]
