Another note on the Leroux/Morgan thing
posted on July 29, 2010 at 8:14pm

Sorry to bang on about this topic but from here it’s gonna work like this: more sad bits about WPS = more happy bits about Leroux & Morgan saving revitalizing women’s soccer.   Anyways, remember back in 2008 when Alex Morgan scored that beautif...more

Explosion in goals, indeed
posted on July 29, 2010 at 12:18pm

Things learned from WPS midweek matches:   WPS is becoming more predictable – but not in a bad way. Pick the streaky teams and expect there to be goals. Tons and tons of goals.   Atlanta is going to clip Chicago for sixth place momentarily. ...more

Soccer Surprises
posted on July 28, 2010 at 4:10pm

The past week has seen its share of the unexpected take place on the world's soccer fields.  Like many other commentators, I thought the Boston Breakers' year was over alongside, perhaps, Tony DiCicco's career as a club coach.  I certainly didn't antici...more

The Topsy Turvy World of WPS
posted on July 26, 2010 at 2:25pm

I confess: I know nothing about WPS. Case in point: remember when I posted this, suggesting that the 2010 WPS playoffs had already been decided? At that point in early June FC Gold Pride were still plotting their theft of the regular season title. Amy ...more

posted on July 25, 2010 at 12:08pm

Although the WPS table may not necessarily reflect it, tonight’s matches were full of drama, triumph and (perhaps) tragedy. Ten total goals were scored in two matches that shared a 4-1 score line. Make no mistake, Sky Blue FC and the Washington Fre...more

Opportunities seized, opportunities missed In WPS Week 15 midweek matches
posted on July 22, 2010 at 1:29pm

FC Gold Pride 2, Boston Breakers 1 Marta and Christine Sinclair continue to prove why they are simply the most lethal strike partnership in WPS — and perhaps the world of women’s football *cue megamaniacal laugh*. The pair have now combined for 19 go...more

WPS Week 14
posted on July 20, 2010 at 2:18pm

Week 14 was a pretty predictable week. FC Gold Pride won (I think it’s getting old now). The Breakers, who have recently come alive, earned their third consecutive win. Finally, a lot of people, this writer included, thought Sky Blue was  a team Atl...more

Whoop whoop. So this weekend was particularly rife with women’s soccer games. Here’s what you may have missed, including a review of WWC action, WPS Week 14 stuff and an overview of the final weekend in both the W-League and WPSL.   U-20 Women’s...more

Boston/Washington Reaction, Player Ratings
posted on July 19, 2010 at 10:49am

First off, a big congratulations to the Boston Breakers for coming from a goal down to win their third straight tonight. What’s perhaps most impressive about this Boston team is really its “role” players. Liz Bogus and Jordan Angeli managed to get o...more

5.) The Washington Freedom Has Some Issues Last week some fans expressed their disapproval over the job that head coach Jim Gabarra has done. It’s probably no use reiterating this but the Freedom have now gone winless in seven games. Abby Wambach hasn...more

5.) How Will Philly Fare Against FCGP Without A-Rod? And Lindsey and Larsson. Philadelphia had the bye last weekend so the team wasn’t affected by the first round of national team call-up’s. Now PHIINDY will need to deal with three gaping holes in it...more

A conversation with Ella Masar
posted on July 16, 2010 at 12:41pm

How’s this for a story: Let’s say there’s a player who signed professionally with a team that plays just minutes away from where she grew up. She’s already made quite the name for herself at the local and collegiate levels and big things are ex...more

WPS Week 13
posted on July 15, 2010 at 10:03pm

Week 13 of WPS held a lot of action as two games were played in the middle of the week in addition to the 3 regular games on the weekend. First off, the Chicago Red Stars and Atlanta Beat played to a 1-1 draw, and Sky Blue FC and the Washington Freedom pl...more

What's Next, Jail Time?
posted on July 14, 2010 at 2:20pm

WPS is not a criminal justice body.  This is worth mentioning because according to Dan Lauletta, Kia McNeill has been "ordered to perform four hours of community service" as part of her suspension from the league following a nasty, cleats-up swoop on Bar...more

5.) Things Are Only Getting Worse In Atlanta Who’s to say if the three goals Atlanta conceded in under five minutes to the Boston Breakers would have been prevented if Hope, Kia and Tina were there. Perhaps it was a given that Atlanta’s lone positive...more

posted on July 12, 2010 at 8:59am

While members of the United States Women’s National Team may have been absent from WPS Week 13, the goals certainly weren’t. The victors of the night FC Gold Pride and the Boston each tallied a triplet of goals while respective losers Washington and ...more

Philadelphia acknowledges it has an attendance problem, does something about It
posted on July 9, 2010 at 3:07pm

For all the great things that are going on with the Independence, it’s a shame that few Philadelphians seem to care. Philadelphia is coming off of last weekend’s game against Boston which took in a paltry gate of 2,093; the lowest of the 2010 sea...more

Time to abolish ties in WPS
posted on July 8, 2010 at 1:01pm

If this summer's World Cup has taught us anything, it's that Americans continue to have little patience for the concept of an important sporting event ending in a draw, let alone a 0-0 draw.  True soccer fans understand the value of a come-from-behind ti...more
