WTF moment: Sky Blue FC

Sky Blue FC goalkeeper Karen Bardsley writes a regular column over at goal.com. For her most recent, she wrote about her call-up to England’s National Team (betcha’d never see the day when an American played for England and please feel free to use this little trivia fact to win bets against your frenemies). I normally wouldn’t think twice about her article but she mentioned “the great voltage converter meltdown crisis of 2009” which I immediately assumed was her queue to start waxing crazy literary metaphors regarding Sky Blue’s inaugural WPS year head coach fiasco. Earlier in the season, coach Ian Sawyers was let go leading assistant Kelly Lindsey to take the job. And now – uh – Lindsey resigned and Christine Rampone will take over as player/coach. Good lord I say. Karen, you had the most amazing opportunity to wow me with a poetic diatribe regarding your pro team’s ongoing staffing drama. Unfortunately, Karen’s words were completely literal. While she was watching a WPS game overseas on her computer, it’s voltage converter exploded. What a let down.

Rampone is currently recovering from emergency stomach surgery (she sat out the last two US/Canada games) so she’ll have plenty of time to concentrate on the coaching part of her new job. Sky Blue are now barely hanging onto their fifth place position after Washington beat Boston on Wednesday and shot up to third place. Sky Blue are just two points behind Boston while STL, Washingon, and Boston are all one point behind each other.
