Since the contact negotiations between Umea and LA Sol and now LDB FC Malmo as well as teams in France, Germany, and Norway continue, I figured I may as well throw my offer into the mix. I don’t have anything like a cool sponsor or any money to offer Marta or even a team [...]

Category: WPS NewsStuff to ponder today… which is a holiday in the USA

Meaning lots of food and football (of the opposite kind). Here’s some stuff I am thinking about or I just find amusing…
* My friend’s winery will be hosting the Yelp holiday party. I told him if I am able to attend, I will write a Yelp review of the event.
* During a Swedish [...]

The East Bay Rats are a motorcycle club from the East Bay, here in Northern California (i.e. Oakland, Berkeley, etc etc… the cities on the east side of the Bay Bridge). Every once and a while, the Rats put ton a fight night which is exactly how it sounds: sign up, get in the [...]

I just finished reading the Google translated version of this article from the Swedish website, VK. The article uses quotes from Vanderbilt University economic professor, John Vrooman, to argue that the current economic crisis in the US will destroy WPS. According to Vrooman, “[the recession] is about to start. It is the wrong [...]

See that fuzzy face at the podium in the picture to the left? That’s Joe Cannon from my crappy camera phone. Well, it’s not so crappy cause it’s the Google phone and I recently bought it and I’m totally loving it but the camera on the phone… not so much. So [...]
Bay Area team… does something
By: Melissa | No Comments
Yesterday, WPS announced the Bay Area team hired it’s GM, Ilisa Kessler. She’s apparently been the GM since October, hiring staff and doing all the other things GM’s do (not really sure to be honest) and now the Bay Area team is ready to make a slew of announcements this coming Wednesday at 1:30 [...]
The Downside
By: Melissa | No Comments
