womensprosoccer.com feedback welcome

Hi Everyone,

We’re in the process of re-launching womensprosoccer.com today (Wed, April 16th, 2009). If the new site is not already coming up for you, it should be soon.

In re-launching, we sought to address a lot of the feedback we’ve received from you – a better video experience, more photos, scores featured more prominently, etc.

Please know that this is just Phase 1 of our web project. More cool features are in process such as calling out stats leaders more prominently, giving fans the ability to comment on and rate content, etc.

As you surf the new site, let us know your thoughts – all feedback is welcome.

Matchups - talk about upcoming and recent games.
Players - talk about the players, transactions, potential draft picks, etc. Get rid of the drafts and allocations sections and put those discussions here.
Fan Experience - going to the games, watching the games on TV, road trips, etc.
Teams and Strategy - how the teams are being run and coached, talk about formations, styles, strategies, etc. not specific to a particular team.
National and International - talk about any teams or leagues other than WPS: WNT, W-League, World Cup, etc. Get rid of the Olympics section and put all of those discussions here.

And of course continue with the sections for each specific team, being sure to add in Atlanta and Philadelphia.; ▶ Reply to This

When I say "get rid of", I'm referring to the sections, not to their contents. The actual discussions should be moved to the appropriately renamed sections. For example, all the threads talking about the Olympics would be moved to my proposed "National and International" section.

I feel the same way you do - in fact, I still go back and look at archived posts on BigSoccer about WUSA matches and events.; ▶ Reply to This

For example, the link to the team twitter for the Boston Breakers omits the second "b" and the link to the commissioner's page omits the final "r"; ▶ Reply to This

The commentators are quick to point out mistakes by the players such as if they thought a player was leaning back on a snap shot at goal but when a goal like the one Walsh scored in the first half of the Chicago vs Sky Blue game today was disallowed for a terrible offside call they never even question the call or take a slow second look at it to see that Walsh was clearly behind the ball when it was passed in to her in front of the goal. The presenters and refs need to watch some coverage of the Barclays Premire league to see how well it can be done.; ▶ Reply to This

They looked at some of the offsides calls, just not very many. Of course, there were 21 total in the game, so it would have been hard to look at all of them.; ▶ Reply to This
