Sol will shut out Sky Blue just the way they have about everyone else. 2-0 Sol.

Breakers are undefeated at home, and Athletica's not going to challenge that. 2-1 Breakers.; ▶ Reply to This

Uh... the Freedom will take it 3-2 over the Red Stars.

As for Sky Blue and the Sol, L.A. will blank their opponents and win, uh... let's go with 2-0.

Boston will beat St. Louis by a goal... I think.

There. Those are my predictions, which are usually no where close to what'll happen.; ▶ Reply to This

Sol vs Sky Blue, St. Louis vs Boston (I don't care); ▶ Reply to This

the sky blue fc gamewas very entertaining, especially to see everyone fall and slip. it did cause the game to be slower. the field wasn't drained so the whole field was a big giant puddle.

i was totally TOTALLY suprised to see chicago tie washington. i really was hoping that washington would beat them, but that's over.

the week is still scoreless....sadly; ▶ Reply to This

And the Freedom not scoring at all is a real shocker, though I'm gratified our defense finally managed to keep a clean slate.; ▶ Reply to This

My predictions are always so far off, that I'm either spot-on correct, or just dead wrong. lol; ▶ Reply to This

I hate that field Boston plays on! Isn't there another soccer facility they can play on? I keep thinking someone is going to throw a touchdown at any moment.

I think Hope Solo is so overrated!!; ▶ Reply to This

I'm glad they game out with a tie. Thats the third in a row on the road. We need to get in some wins now! Hopefully we can pull one out against NJ on wed.

I hope I can stay awake for the second half!

But I was stunned to see an experienced pro like her wandering out of the box with ball in hand to distribute in the game against the Breakers. Lucky for her the refs didn't see it, although it was so obvious--she was at least 5 yards over the line (even past the semi-circle).
