THE WORLD OF WOMENS SOCCER IN POTT'S MIND. USA WON-GERMS ZEEEERRROOOOOO

It's been a while since I've been on here. I have been going through some life changes. Some good, some....not so good. I don't dwell on the past and never fret at things I cannot change but I do like to bring one thing up when it comes to women's soccer, the 2007 WWC. Even though I wasn't on the field, on the team, or in the stadium I felt the pain, the emotion, the anger, the hatred and the heat. From the time I heard that Greg Ryan was doing a changing of the guard I knew it was a call for di… Continue

Chicago Red Stars Square Off against St. Louis Athletica

It will be a battle of the backups this Saturday at Toyota Park as the Chicago Red Stars (2-2-2, 8 points) take on St. Louis Athletica (1-2-2, 5 points) at 7 p.m. Both teams are losing several of their key players to international duty, with the United States playing Canada in Toronto Monday night. “This match provides a great opportunity for some of the players who are new to our program to prove they are worth a starting place,” said Red Stars head coach Emma Hayes. “I think our team will sho… Continue

Chicago Red Stars Fall To Sky Blue For 1st Loss of Season

Sky Blue FC dominated the Chicago Red Stars 2-0 on Mothers Day at Toyota Park. However, the final score does not accurately reflect the tempo or level of play of the game. To put it bluntly, it was ugly. Things went from bad to worse eight minutes in when Collette McCallum (… 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

First degree of Carli Lloyd

I'm related to Carli Lloyd by some degree of separation - no, not by blood technically, but by soccer blood. No big deal though. So it all started a few days ago when I let my formed college soccer coaches know that I was going to the NSCAA convention and would love to meet up with them would be there too. But for some reason I had lost one of my old coaches emails, so had to look on the University of Dayton's… Continue

Domestic Allocation

It seems like a while ago since I last blogged. As you know, I've been really busy putting together the roster and securing the rights for 8 potential Red Stars. Let's begin with the three Americans. I'm absolutely delighted to have three starting USWNT players joining the Red Stars. First, Lindsay Tarpley. She's someone I've been following for a long time, since her days at UNC. Her goal-scoring record at college is second to none, and that has always impressed me about her. Her coach once sen… Continue

Big hurray to NJ youth soccer development

In case you haven’t seen the US vs. Norway game, I wanted to point out that in the second half of the game, the US lineup had FOUR girls from New Jersey on the field (Christie Rampone, Carli Lloyd, Heather O’Reilly and Tobin Heath). It was especially great to see Tobin, who is one of the youngsters and who played for Sky Blue in our inaugural season last year. We shouldn’t take it for granted to see four NJ girls in the lineup. I think this is evidence of the long and hard work of our youth prog… Continue
