W-League playoffs set
By: Melissa |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 [...]
W-League winds down, onward to the Olympics!
By: Melissa |A few months ago, I had a completely ridiculous conversation with a friend and she told me a story about how she set her alarm to play the song “Secret Lovers” every morning. The point of this was to see how long it took before her boyfriend noticed. Apparently he never noticed and [...]
Are we really just a nation of whiners?
By: Melissa |To say it’s been a hard couple of days for me is a bit of an understatement. I’ve heard precarious arguments from our President regarding this oil crisis. I’ve heard disturbing comments from our Federal Reserve Chairman regarding this oh-no-it’s-really-not-a recession, and I’ve heard one of our presumptive Presidential candidate’s top economic advisors [...]
Better luck next year?
By: Melissa |It’s not looking good for Jersey Sky Blue to make the W-League playoffs. The Washington Freedom just clinched berth #2, and The Long Island Rough Riders sit in third place with the same points, but less games played. And since I last wrote, FC Indiana clinched a spot and the title for their [...]
Not yet Abby
By: Melissa |Amy Rodriguez scored the game winner against Brazil today, wrapping up the score at 1-0. Perhaps the July 16 friendly is Abby’s chance to hit 100 and the chance for the rest of us to come up with a brilliant drinking game to celebrate. So while we all wait impatiently for Wednesday’s game, [...]
On Playoffs and Head Coaches
By: Melissa |I’m starting this post out not entirely WPS related but did ya see last night’s Classico? Great game. Nice to see Guzan finally coming back into form – and not just because I named my car after him. But on a slightly relevant note, the Classico started a little late because a [...]
Mark Your Calendars
By: Melissa |Today, WPS announced the USWNT allocation draft will happen after the Olympics – in September – with a number of drafts and combines to follow:
WPS will begin securing domestic talent with the post-Olympics allocation of the U.S. Women’s National Team (WNT) and U.S. WNT Player Pool in mid-September, to be immediately followed with a draft [...]
Short, Quick, And to the point
By: Melissa |In a few minutes, the USWNT kick off against Norway, in Norway. There are no known broadcasts or streams that I’m aware of (go figure).
The under 20s are off to their World Cup and the under 17s are off to try to qualify for theirs.
The Pali Blues continue their W-League winning streak, beating Fort [...]
As much as one can hype a W-League game, a biggie is tonight
By: Melissa |That’s right folks, if there ever was a clash of the titans in this league, you’re getting it tonight when the Jersey Sky Blue take on defending league champions, the Washington Freedom. And it’s a battle for Sky Blue to gain a playoffs spot too boot. Here are the details from the USL [...]
Cat Whitehill has a tear but two W-League expansion teams are on a tear
By: Melissa |It’s that dreaded ACL again. Whitehill tore it during Tuesday’s training and will now miss the Olympics. Stephanie Cox takes her place on the Peace Cup roster.
Also on Tuesday, Tampa’s Hampton Roads Piranhas were awarded the hosting rights for this year’s W-League semi-finals and finals set for July 31 and August 2. [...]
