Leslie Osborne is an inspiration
By: Melissa |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 [...]
Carli Lloyd doesn’t want to talk about it
By: Melissa |Today, Sky Who Blue announced they signed free agent Carli Lloyd. Lloyd is from New Jersey and went to Rutgers so pretty much as soon as she became “free,” the rumors were flying that she was headed home perhaps even before she packed up and moved out of Chicago. And the rumormill was [...]
i lurv x factor more than pie n chips
By: Melissa |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!
By: Melissa |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 [...]
WPS season two hopes and dreams
By: Melissa |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. [...]
In it to win it
By: Melissa |This picture has nothing to do with WPS but I think it really captures these charged political times we live in
I’m a bit late on this post but as I type, Allie Long is celebrating her birthday at the Rhino Bar with some other Washington Freedom teammates. So if you are in the DC [...]
Playoff Picture: the high fashion edition
By: Melissa |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 [...]
St Louis clinch second place
By: Melissa |…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 [...]
WTF moment: Sky Blue FC
By: Melissa |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). [...]
Poop Extraordinary
By: Melissa |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, [...]
