Olympic Downtime Musings
By: Melissa |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. [...]
Semi-finals set
By: Melissa |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 |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.

Quick WPS and W-League update
By: Melissa |I think the big question on my mind right now is, what will the W-League look like after the WPS clubs really kick into gear? How many W-League teams will “get promoted” to WPS teams? As I understand it, the Washington Freedom will be reborn into the DC WPS team (and it originated [...]
How to watch the game

We won the first match on April 27th. If you are not in Birmingham, the game will be on Fox Soccer Channel (wow, amazing [...]
