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 [...]
Playoffs. Playoffs? Playoffs!
By: Melissa |who is this guy?
It’s been a busy week in the world of pro, semi-pro, and not-at-all pro women’s soccer so let’s review…
WPSL The final four are set. The semifinals will take place in Long Island (will they throw in some of that famous iced tea?). On August 1st, the Dallas Premier play [...]
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, [...]
Sol are regular season winners
By: Melissa |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 |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 [...]
Playoffs push, one word: predictable
By: Melissa |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. [...]
WPS will stop being polite and start getting real
By: Melissa |Marta is very, very good. She’s the main star that is actually living up to her billing in the U.S. league – unlike a certain Englishman. – Andrea Canales, Goal.com
I would like to take a few seconds here to give a shout-out whut whut thank goodness Andrea Canales is back writing about women’s soccer again. [...]
Wambach, go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done
By: Melissa |Daniela suffered two injured knee ligaments and a crack in her tibia from Wambach’s tackle. Daniela is now out “indefinitely” and STL can kiss their most prolific goal scorer goodbye. So the new question is whether Wambach deserves more than a yellow card. This is something WPS is considering. COO [...]
Whut up it’s a weekend review
By: Melissa |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, [...]
