2009 WPS Power Rankings: Week 15

In a league like the WPS, we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all footballers are created equal, that they are endowed by the footballing gods that be with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of postseason happiness.

As the Los Angeles Sol perch on the doorstep of winning the Women's Professional Soccer regular season championship, the teams below jostle for the other three playoff spots up for grabs.

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

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

Pumped for Japan, again

It was four hours long, but I can finally breathe a sigh of relief that we advanced onto the semis!! I was so happy to watch Tash score an awesome goal and I was even happy to watch her dance as a celebration! I think all of us needed something fun like that to happen during the game. It was a very brutal battle out there, just like every Canada-U.S. game, so when Tash showed us her moves after she scored, I th… Continue
