Guest Blog By Red Stars Supporter Pott Rodriguez


One of the more vocal Red Stars fans is Pott Rodriguez (to the left with Megan Rapinoe). Pott can pack a punch and she took issue with this week's SBI Power Rankings and decided to write her own. SBI's Christi Mann ranked the undefeated Red Stars 5th in the 7 team WPS, while Pott has the undefeated Red Stars 3rd.

Official and legal disclaimer: Pott's opinions and commentary do not necessarily reflect those of the Chicago Red Stars, WPS or me! Again, i don't agree with some of Pott's opinions, but i do support her passion (i had to add some "expletive deleteds" below) and her love of the Red Stars.

Pott's guest blog post follows:

I HAVE FAITH......IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE.

I think Carli Lloyd is A BIT overrated for how she's been playing...it's like her and Cristiane r uncomfortable playing on this team and don't want to be a part of it. Their body chemistry isn't all there. Rapinoe and Dalmy should get more credit yes. Dieke and Carney should get more props too......Masar just needs to relax and play her game. I'm not sayin' this cuz i'm a Chicago fan but i bet the (expletive deleted) that wrote this article hasn't seen any of the games. I been to 2 Stars games. I've seen it myself. Here r my rankings:

1.SOL-They have Marta and u just can't (expletive deleted) with her and Boxxy.

2.BREAKERS-Kelly Smith mad skillz, dope team. A Rod needs to start taking on players 1v1....stop being scared. Lill, why don't u have a Jedi/Padawon talk with her....show her how u do.

3.CHICAGO-Ring leaders on this team are getting the credit and they haven't done (expletive deleted)..Blah blah Cristiane is hurt (stop crying!) Lloyd you're spose to be the bomb, not the grenade. Captain Tarp holdin' it down like she should scoring the only 2 goals they've had but still seems a lil timid. Never been the one to be loud out there but you're wearing the C now. ACT LIKE IT. Rapinoe shining like a true star but needs someone up top to share that spot light. Dieke and Dalmy da double Ds holdin' that (expletive deleted) down. CJ (Carre Jonsson) yah, can't (expletive deleted) wit her eeeitherr.....Masar, relax young one, you'll get yours. Carney (so underrated) still tryin to find tempo, you'll get yours too. (there I go again jackin bout my Red Stars and they have yet to show me a true victory) I STAND BY THEM 199%. props to Igwe and Frida too. and the rest of the crew.

4.FCGP-Two words, Tiffany Weimer. Two more words, Old timers. Ok ok two more, international players. This team is stacked from Japan to Brazil from 1968 to 1988. And when I say Brazil it's not just the players from there but the players who played there (TW). I had trouble whether I thought FCGP could be ranked 3 or 4 in my book but with all that talent I haven't really heard much since their 1st game. I do give them mad props for holdin' it down to just 1 goal vs Sol. We'll see more of them to come I'm sure.

5.Freedom-They're some of the original Gangstas. The team and players. Wambeezy....needed some games under her belt. She'll b back with a vengence. Scurry, will someone please send her to the retirement home already, damn i thought i saw her walker next to the goal the other day. If you're tryin' to hang with the youngins then stop (expletive deleted) around and play like it. Sawa, I like her, I just don't think she's found the rhythm yet. It's only week 4 right?

6.FCSB-I don't even know where to start. I saw them play in person and I'm not gonna lie....under those wet conditions, I was impressed. i don't really have anything bad to say about them cept that luck just hasn't been on their side. TK, HAO and Walsh r some work horsies and their goalies have been pretty steady. I'd be a lil salty tho if I lost to a college team. Oh well, it was a scrimmage right? bah!

7.Athletica-Hope, why you jinx your team jackin' about how you guys are going to take this league. Oh, I'm sorry did you forget LA has money to bring in players like Marta from the outter realm and demolish the rest of us?

but it's only week 4.....why am I upset?


And there you go....Pott's first WPS Power Rankings. Let me know if you think Pott is right on, somewhat off base or totally whacked out.

Next Red Stars game is this Saturday at Toyota Park at 7:30 pm vs. Boston.

Lindsay Tarpley and the Red Stars









In honor of Tarps' game winning goal versus Saint Louis Athletica Saturday night in front of 5,008 fans at St. Louis(many of whom cheered for the Red Stars), we bring you new and old videos of the Red Stars star.

This one's a slide show with some pics of a very young Lindsay.

back in time: my mother & sister

Remember when I said I would get better about blogging? That was about 2 months ago. If WPS COO Mary Harvey can blog several times per week, then I say to myself 'self... we MUST blog more if the COO finds time to blog!!!'.

So the irony of this post is that I'm going to eventually incorporate a link to someone else's words.

I grew up in a pocket-neighborhood called South Clinton in Clinton, Iowa. We were a 'pocket' because we were surrounded by either the Mississippi River, or train tracks. Or… Continue

Fasten your seatbelt...

I resolve to be better at this blogging thing. It has been so long since I have been gracing you with my literature.
The good news is that I am so busy here in the Red Stars (frozen) annex, that I haven't had time. So prepare for a journey here people!

Went into the Holiday break feeling good about the upcoming year, of course, because it is WPS-2009! What would have been a nice relaxing sit-at-home-and-do-much-about-nothing break was rattled by a tooth ache that was delivered to me the week be… Continue

I am a WonderGirl

So, here I was fighting a bit of a cold all last week. You know, sinus congestion, a lot of kleenux use at work (splurge on the kind with 'lotion' in it... your nose will thank you). It is approaching winter in Chicago. You know what that means? That means I wish I could hibernate... I'll reappear approximately just before WPS opening weekend kick off. Deal? So the Red Stars Director of Operations doesn't exactly dig that idea, but I dislike the cold that much. My friend Jennae LOVES the winter.… Continue

Thanks Alyse, I enjoy making videos and I love soccer. So put them both together and you get the best of both worlds. I really did enjoy making the video, it was a lot of fun and I am glad I had the opportunity to do it. Thanks again!

Hee Hee, I know, I've been trying to think of great names for a Utah team. Maybe the Mormon Seagulls or Crickets. It's a tough one to figure out. ;)

Do you think love of halloween parades and decorations is a british thing? the sheffield girls were taking photos of all the houses decorated for halloween. lol. Does Chicago have a halloween parade? you should certainly take emma to it. NYCs is amazing!

I think Mamma Sawyer might stick, that would be a great pen name, no one would have a clue it was me.

I was very disappointed that some security at the USWNT vs Ireland game was strict. They didn't allow my son and I to migrate to another section in the first half of the game. My eight year old son and I were sitting quietly in an almost empty northwest corner section - it was a very unpopular section, in fact there were a total of four fans sitting there (it was the goal the US was defending the first half). The action occcurred at the other end the first half. Security asked to see our tickets and then actually ordered my son and I to move and sit in our right section, or else we'd be asked to leave. I explained to him that my son had brought homemade signs, and his signs could not be seen in our right seats, in the front row of section 118, because of the large portable advertisement boards in place. He told us we had to move. I cannot believe that in a half empty Toyota Park, security would be so strict about where fans sat. Interestingly, when the teams switched ends, and the US shot on the north end, security allowed fans to move into that section.
