Some sort of vague attempt at an update
By: Melissa |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:
I can’t wait for the World [...]
Links!!!
By: Melissa |I recently installed the Read it Later Firefox plugin which I will be using to clip (i.e. remember) all the interesting womens soccer links I stumble upon then spit them back out to you all. Call it one stop shopping and, yes, you can thank me later. Here goes installment number one…
Expansion Draft! [...]
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 [...]
Sometimes off the pitch is more interesting than on
By: Melissa |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 [...]
What’s up with the W-League?
By: Melissa |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 |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 |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 |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
By: Melissa |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 [...]
