posted August 31, 2010 at 1:16pm

Hi, C here, and I just wanted to let you know no one wrote in to say they knew the Brandi Chastain “I will have two fillings” line, so I guess you REALLY have to be a women’s soccer fan to get the reference. Anyhoo, it was from a commercial for the ...more

Hey, this just came in over the wires. Brandi Chastain (who faithful readers like mom will know, C and R have actually met her several times, and C even shot craps with Brandi!) yes, that Brandi, is retiring from Women’s Professional Soccer and having a...more

Alexandra Popp/Germany (19) – 10 goals in 5 games tells you everything. Popp also contributed two assists in the tournament. Her achievements are particularly outstanding considering she plays in more of a defensive role for her Duisburg team. Marina H...more

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

Well, who exactly is this young, athletically-gifted, eye-catching forward? Is she the future of the United States Women’s National Team? The next Mia Hamm, perhaps? Is she the future of women’s soccer as a whole? Or is she merely style ov...more

Are narrow-minded tactics doing a disservice to the USWNT?
by All White Kit
posted July 25, 2010 at 6:53pm

To elaborate on a point below, today’s loss to Nigeria gave the U.S. its earliest exit ever in a U-19/U-20 Women’s World Cup. Perhaps that’s an indictment on the relative lack of talent in the U-20 talent pool. Or maybe the U.S.’ mediocrity is a...more

Nigeria vanquish USWNT in penalties to reach semifinals in U-20 WWC
by All White Kit
posted July 25, 2010 at 5:24pm

The USWNT’s collective reaction after Sydney Leroux lofted her penalty kick up and over the crossbar was telling. It was a scene of utter heartbreak and dismay. It’s always tough to deal with a loss accrued in a penalty shootout. That cruel and capric...more

Fast forward to July 23, 2011. The United States Women’s National Team has made its way back to the States, World Cup in tow. It’s been six days since the team’s captain (any guesses of who that’ll be?) hoisted the trophy in Frankfurt. It’s the...more

South Korea, Ghana could spoil U-20 USWNT’s title defense

If it wasn’t for Alexandra Popp and all those goals she’s scored for Germany, South Korea would be the most feared team in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. Two matches, eight goals, two goals conceded, one Ji So Yun. And if fortune had favored t...more

Oh USWNT, there you are. There’s the team that’s capable of beating up on teams – despite their FIFA ranking – with relative ease. There’s the defensive shape, the midfield cohesiveness, the line of creative forwards ravenous for goals. That�...more

Though possession between Switzerland and the U.S. may have been even throughout the game, little else was. The United States put a lethargic Swiss side to the sword with a 5-0 thrashing. Sydney Leroux was the woman of the moment as she scored three v...more

The Art of Erasure: From one World Cup to another (USA Ghana)
by From A Left Wing
posted July 15, 2010 at 5:29pm

A few weeks ago, I dared to complain about Nike's "Thank You" video. It is a lovely idea. It features young players thanking the US National Men's Team for "paving the way" - but it excluded girls. Girls support the team, too, and are inspired by their ex...more

I was only privy to the last few minutes, but Ghana was more energetic than the U.S., which seemed a bit lost in that last bit of the match after getting a late equalizer. Also, although I'm way late to this particular commentary, is it a sign that UN...more

That diagonal stripe on the top just doesn't work for me. Is it a gi? Is it a robe? Distracting. Also distracting, DiCicco commenting on A-Rod as a player, as if he didn't have a significant role in what went wrong with her early development. U....more
