Happy Saturday to everyone as we gladly welcome a full slate of WPS action starting about an hour ago. Here are today’s Notables:
- Due to a volcano and the nation of Iceland, the second leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal round between Umea and Lyon has been postponed. No word yet on when the match will be rescheduled
- Kristine Lilly and Leslie Osborne sat down for an interview with Boston’s FOX 25. Check it out here
- In on-the-field Breakers news, GK Alli Lipsher has been waived and Ashley Phillips (previously signed as a Developmental Player) has been promoted to become Boston’s #1
- Giovanni Albanese, Jr. has his predictions for WPS Week Two over at Goal.com
- Jack Bell has written another WPS-related tidbit on the New York Times’ Goal blog. In it he highlights how the league has enthusiastically embraced both social media and technology
- The Brazilian site GloboEsporte.com has an article featuring Rosana. She discusses why Sky Blue FC are the team to beat and why she and Marta are different players. (Thanks to Marcelo at http://wpstalk.blogspot.com and his readers)
- Speaking of Marta, the San Francisco Chronicle has this write-up about her. Marta, have you tried online dating?
