So I guess it’s pretty obvious by now Becks is not returning to the LA Galaxy. Honestly, I think this turn of events could be the best thing to happen to WPS. Considering AEG may also lose its other star to Bayern, come April, the most famous person playing at the Home Depot [...]

So the good news is, WPS will expand to Atlanta for the 2010 season! A letter of intent was signed on Monday. The bad news is, Dallas has yet to score a stadium deal, which keeps the club from hiring staff and selling any tickets. Tonya Antonucci wants the situation resolved [...]
