Bag O’ Crap

Yesterday was the day for Woot to announce their somewhat regular and extremely popular giveaway bonanza, so in honor of not winning my very own, I instead bring you the WPS random newsbits of crap.

* Marta Marta Marta. She apparently said in an interview that she has not played her last match for Umea following their 6-0 win over Arsenal. She was quoted as saying, “I’m planning to play for at least eight more years.” I dunno – I kind of get the sense she really meant I’m gonna play soccer for at least eight more years. So perhaps she’s not really declaring an allegiance to Sweden or the USA here. But according to the link, Umea’s general manager Britta Akerlund says the club is still seven figures off from LA Sol’s offer. ORLY?

* The economy continues to slide and concerns continue to rise over the stability of WPS in this climate. It seems the St Louis draft pick Daniela has received a new offer from her old club, Linkoping, who hope to be able to match or beat whatever offer she received from the WPS side. Ruh row.

* Unsurprisingly, heaps of WPS players are nominated for US Soccer’s Athlete of the Year award. You can head on over to their site and vote. My favorite part of that link is the bit where each nominee gets a little description of their position except Hope Solo. Homegirl TRANSCENDS.

* Christmas is right around the corner and despite the fact that most people are broke or unemployed or both, Sky Blue FC and the Boston Breakers both have holiday gift offers at their site. My favorite is the Boston Breakers pajamas. They look really comfortable and warm.
