Sad news (I was too obsessed with John and Liz to pick this up when it first came out) .. the LA Sol have folded. You probably heard it from Boltgirl first! (I heard via an e-mail at work from a friend.)
At first I was horrified on hearing it — PTSD from old WUSA days. [...]
Phillies won, Red Sox won .. and I’ve got the Slingcatcher hooked up and working in Dewd’s room!
Meanwhile, the Breakers will be honoring soccer great Maren Meinert at the game with the Freedom on May 17th at Harvard Stadium. WUSA fans remember her fondly as a key ingredient in the Breakers’ success – most especially [...]
First off — Beulah’s match report is up! (This is on the Breakers’ win over the Freedom … which ranked somewhere below a broken windshield in Beulah’s book … understandably!) Sorry to hear about your windshield! As for Abby not getting up — that was a huge gripe of mine (and my compatriots) back in [...]
Goal.com named the Breakers’ Kelly Smith their Player of the Week for this past week in the newly-minted WPS season — a nice (and well-deserved) honor.
“I have to admit, as a long-time Kelly Smith fan, I’m almost inclined to put her name in every week. Though she is nearly always good, she was superlative this [...]
Kelly Smith is apparently writing a weekly column for The Daily Mail about her WPS soccer experiences. Here’s an excerpt from last week’s piece:
There’s so much to learn because everything is so new and we don’t really know each other’s playing styles or strengths and weaknesses at the moment. I’m playing in a slightly different [...]

The Breakers’ home opener is this Saturday (4/11-7PM) against the Athletica at Harvard Stadiuim. Both teams have an opening day loss to rectify. It’ll be fun to see Hope Solo and Lori Chalupny in town … and just awesome to get the season rolling. A big plus of April soccer in Boston is that we [...]
Check MatchTracker this morning at 11 ET to follow the USWNT vs. Norway in the final game of group play over at the Algarve (where, presumably, it is NOT snowing)!
The US is already in the championship game as a result of their two previous wins, however this should be interesting, as they’ve not seen Norway [...]
This morning it is NOT snowing – but there’s still plenty of digging out to do here in NH. It’s nice, light, fluffy snow – the kind where the rewards of shoveling far outweigh the costs. (Only challenge is finding some place to PUT the stuff – the mounds are so high.)
I find myself thinking [...]
Whoo hoo! I got up early enough to do a little working out before hitting the computer – and all looks brighter. Amazing what a little circulating blood can do, eh? I am raring to go now …
But first, a few snippets of news as the sun begins to color the eastern horizon …
Here is [...]
There’s quite a bit on the soccer news front, as you may have guessed from the headline this morning. The WPS has held its combines on the East and West coasts, and is gearing up for its draft on Friday, January 16th. (That’s this Friday, folks!) Here’s some nice video from the West Coast combine [...]

Check out Susan’s comment on Alison’s post yesterday (and Welcome, Alison — I’m looking forward to hearing what you have to say here)! Speaking of the Electoral College, I heard an interesting piece on NPR about the Electoral College — kinda scary how little people know about it!
And speaking of scary, the McCainiacs are getting [...]
This clip of Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin pretty much says it all. McCain may be channeling Bush, but Sarah is pretty much the real thing … never EVER letting her ignorance stand in the way of her swagger and bellicosity.
Here’s a bit more from the interview …
Pressed about what insights into recent Russian [...]
Here’s a nice interview with Abby that appeared @ ten days ago in USA Today. Buzz cut, huh? Can’t remember seeing that – but here’s a goal celebration from back in those wonderful WUSA daze … when Mia and Abby first started playing together … and Abby did so well that April could not NOT [...]
Here’s a nice article from the WPS site about Angela Hucles … and the changes in her life that have come about as a result of the WUSA (and her hard work). I’m psyched to hear she wants to be back with the Breakers!
I had never liked that San Diego trade that was inked just [...]

I was glad to see, yesterday, that Christie Welsh has been invited to camp. Pia is clearly checking things out pretty thoroughly. Good for her … and I’d love to see Christie gain some traction with the Nats!
Meanwhile Lorrie Fair is off to play soccer in England. Never exactly my favorite (too many give-aways in the [...]

The old WUSA is now the new WPS. Slated to kick off in April of 2009 … it’s great to see them looking more and more ready for business … check out their site. And yes, the figure silohuetted in the logo really is Mia.
