…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 [...]

Talk about bizzarro weekend. The big word these teams can’t seem to get a good grasp on is consistency. Also, the veetle channel appears to be permanently offline now. Luckily justin.tv picked up the slack. Justin.tv actually saved my ass a few times and I hear Justin lives in San Francisco, [...]

Kansas City Wizards player Jimmy Conrad has a new blog post up at Soccernet which is, per usual, completely effin’ awesome. This time, he makes 100% accurate predictions for the upcoming 2009 MLS season. Accurate because he has 10 years of MLS experience behind him. So I fully expect this prediction to [...]

Twitter Hack Explained
By: Melissa | 2 Comments
It seems quite apparent WPS is full-on embracing new new media outlets while at the same time trying to carve out a much smaller niche on the old. And since, yet again, the upcoming WPS Draft will be “live” over at the WPS twitter blog, I thought maybe it would be a good time [...]

Are you reading the Global Game blog? Cause it really is quite fantastic. And they have a recent article that takes a fond little walk down memory lane regarding the Atlanta Beat of the old WUSA and it also explores whether the new WPS will make it through these current financial times. [...]
