Did you catch the post-game quote sheet? Normally those things are totally booooring but this little gem came from from Hope Solo:

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 [...]
Something Happened!

Today was all a-twitter as Philly and ATL got to pick five international players each to stock their rosters. But, assuming similar rules apply from last year’s international draft, both expansion teams really picked five players each with whom they have the exclusive rights to negotiate a contract. Or, they picked five players [...]

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).

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 [...]

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 [...]
WPS is full of statistics
By: Melissa | No Comments
My guess is they make the interns collect all that data. Not only does the WPS site have league stats, they also break it down with individual team stats. Now the WPS fancorner has daily updates of possible playoff scenarios stats. On Wednesday, the playoff run continues and LA Sol has another [...]
