The Fairgame blog got a little help interpreting the International Draft by conducting an interview with Commissioner Tonya Antonucci.

The genius of comedy is in its timing, and the same goes for spite.
For several months, we have heard the tremors of fear in the English women’s game about the formation of WPS over here. The Premier League across the Atlantic — the mighty Arsenal and one or two other clubs aside — is [...]

First things first. If you haven’t already bookmarked the NJ Sky Blue FC blog, you should get on that immediately. The writers are excellent and my only wish is that they started their blog over here instead of on Blogspot.

It’s allocation eve. A process Peter Wilt describes as “part Match.com, part medical school national matching day, part MLS SuperDraft.” And on allocation eve, the disturbingly quiet Los Angeles team announced Abner Rogers will be their head coach.

And it will be Tuesday, September 16th at the Sports Museum of America in Manhattan. Tonya Antonucci and Steve Nash will be the ones to announce who is going where as well as any other new news tidbits the league is ready to reveal. It doesn’t look like the event will be televised [...]
News Round Up

Sorry for the delay. I couldn’t stand back while NO-ONE at The Offside wrote about the San Jose Earthquakes during their winning streak. And quite a lot has happened while I was not paying attention to women’s soccer so I’m going to have to revert to bullet points to get through all of [...]

How Bay Area have I been this week? Hmm… lessie:
1. Spent Monday in a friend’s backyard eating organic, locally grown food, bought at her Farmer’s Market, and chatting with two lesbians about their recent wedding.
