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 [...]

Since WPS is busy signing players and making announcements, the rest of us may already be forgetting the other other leagues who are busy gearing up for their 2009 season (and I’ll try to get a WPSL update up soon-ish). USL’s semi-pro W-League has been busy. And not just busy quietly watching their [...]
Stuff to ponder today… which is a holiday in the USA
By: Melissa | 3 Comments
Meaning lots of food and football (of the opposite kind). Here’s some stuff I am thinking about or I just find amusing…
* My friend’s winery will be hosting the Yelp holiday party. I told him if I am able to attend, I will write a Yelp review of the event.
* During a Swedish [...]
This notion of a “feeder” or “reserves team”
By: Melissa | 3 Comments
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens to the W-League & WPSL when WPS starts it’s season. It’s pretty obvious - post draft - that both the Washington Freedom and the Pali Blues lost a chunk of their roster. And I’ve no clue if the Freedom will continue to field a [...]
WPSL & W-League Combine player lists set
By: Melissa | No Comments
I spent a few years of my life living in Portland, Oregon. During that time, I had some friends who would make the annual trek up to Lind, Washington for their Combine Destruction Derby. The pic to the left is apparently a souped up combine that participated in 2005. My friends [...]
I may be the only person in California with a Red Stars sticker on her car

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 [...]
Olympic Downtime Musings

If you’ve been reading the stuff I write for The Offside & World Cup Blog for a while, you probably already figured out I’m a bit of a geek. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I cannot access the video at the NBC Olympics site because I don’t run Windows or OS X. [...]
Pali Blues Win the League
By: Melissa | No Comments
The W-League Championship game was a 2-1 victory over FC Indiana. Pali Blues are the winners and that pretty much wraps up your 2008 W-League season. After reading the match report, it does seem the game lacked more of the intensity of the quarterfinal and semifinal games. But since I’m off to [...]

This post is coming to you live and direct from a co-location facility in San Jose, California! Yup. I’m bored as hell waiting for a disk to finish formatting so I figure I’d check in on the W-League playoffs and, to be honest, after following this league for a season, I’m all sorts [...]
W-League playoffs set
By: Melissa | No Comments
I was a bit busy on Saturday losing my phone in the Bayview while watching a large metal sculpture shoot fire, so I missed the part where the W-League playoffs schedule and division titles were announced. These titles are for, what I can only assume are, the best records in each region. And [...]
