Not exactly sleepy. WPS is hiring which is pretty impressive considering THIS ECONOMY.
FIFA recently did a women’s football roundup which is worth a read. In short…
* Brazil’s Santos FC – featuring Marta and Cristiane – won the inaugural Copa Libertadores 9-0 over Paraguay’s Universidad Autonoma.
* FFC Frankfurt aren’t doing so well in the [...]

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:

Carli Lloyd doesn’t want to talk about it
By: Melissa | No Comments
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 [...]
Happy Hondurans Love Wikipedia… and Links!

(Spotted over at ONTD football)
Angela Hucles retired from professional soccer effective immediately. Coach Tony loses yet another player from his 2009 roster, Pia loses a midfielder for the upcoming friendly against Germany, and Hucles thinks maybe now she’ll try real estate. Of course. Makes perfect sense.
Speaking of, Megan Rapinoe had knee surgery [...]

Here are some links to pass the time while you ponder what exactly was that photographer thinking in the above photo shoot?
I was wondering about this whole free agency thing and the USWNT contracts. Luckily, it’s all been cleared up in a lone twitter. Those players who haven’t yet resigned with their 2009 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
Sometimes off the pitch is more interesting than on

On Saturday, Sky Blue FC released a statement informing us that Ian Sawyers has been indefinitely suspended. That’s General Manager and Head Coach Ian Sawyers getting the axe and putting assistant Kelly Lindsey in the top spot for Friday’s game against the Freedom. And how long she’ll stay head coach, is uh… not [...]
Half-assed preview otherwise known as pre-season round-up

I’m at home today anxiously waiting for the UPS guy to show up with the $200 netbook I just bought on super-sale. Woo Hoo!. I’m also searching the internets for video of Marta on Ellen. So far, not coming up with anything. In the meantime, I bring you this place holder where [...]

By: Melissa | 13 Comments
