Who am I kidding? If you are checking this blog for news, then you know nothing. Here’s my (second) recap of Thursday’s USWNT v Germany game:
Did you catch the post-game quote sheet? Normally those things are totally booooring but this little gem came from from Hope Solo:
I can’t wait for the World [...]

The official news is supposed to be out today but the fans already know Leslie Osborne will sign with the Boston Breakers after turning down an offer from the Washington Freedom. She also turned down the Red Stars. This is – at the every least – the first publicly known bidding war over [...]

Karen Carney just twittered that today. Homegirl knows what’s up with popular tv programs (or is it programmes?). Anyhoo, a lot has been going on in the world of WPS since I last wrote. Free agency is in full swing and there’s been significant moving and shaking. Annnnnd the whole thing [...]
WPS season two hopes and dreams
By: Melissa | 1 Comment
Today was the inaugural expansion draft where the Atlanta Beat and Philadelphia Independence nabbed a bunch of players from every team so they could start their own teams. It wasn’t very exciting mainly because it was secret. None of the teams published their protected lists and the draft itself was behind closed doors. [...]
Playoff Picture: the high fashion edition
By: Melissa | 2 Comments
That’s Kristen Graczyk and what’s-his-face modeling something or other for a local San Jose California rag called The Wave (more pics plus full article here). But if you do click on the link to the article, you’ll quickly discover that the dress above costs *cough* $1,140. I could fill an entire notebook with [...]

You gotta wait til around minute 2 in the above video to see Natalie Spilger perform a flip-throw throw-in. A what? you say? This thing…
She did it twice during the game. The first time, Fox Soccer Channel gave us the slow motion replay of her acrobatics (sadly, NOT featured in the video [...]
St Louis clinch second place

…and an automatic bye to the semi-final… August 19… in St Louis. They beat Boston 1-0. Tony DiCicco sat this one out per his one game suspension (…and fine… and community service – will he plant trees?). Tony also apologized (thnx for the heads-up Dustin). So now I guess everyone is [...]
Poop Extraordinary

I took this picture in the bathroom stall at San Francisco’s Kezar Pub today. My phone doesn’t have flash and I think I dropped it one too many times so sorry about the quality. But it probably doesn’t really matter anyways (that’s Rachel Beuhler in the photo). With this past weekend’s results, [...]
Sol are regular season winners
By: Melissa | 3 Comments
No cristal for this bunch. With Thursday night’s 0-0 tie to FCGP, LA Sol get that one elusive point to make them the WPS regular season winners. Now they have an automatic bye to the final and home field advantage – meaning this thing will be at the Home Depot Center on Aug [...]
Playoffs push, one word: predictable
By: Melissa | 2 Comments
This isn’t going to be a situation where the playoff slots stay open until the last second. Every game from now until the end of the season won’t be a nail-biter. This weekend’s results solidified that for sure. Here’s the current table: 1. Sol, 2. Athletica, 3. Breakers, 4. Sky Blue, 5. [...]
