...Probably for the first time in who knows how many years. usually i eat chicken, but i'm weird like that.
Well yes Thanksgiving, as i start to write this post, is in exactly 29 minutes here on the east coast. Just wanted to say happy turkey day to all you WPS fans out there livin' in the US (cause ya know, it's a national holiday). So i will be writing a segment i did last year; the "I'm Thankful For" list of stuff, but i'll limit it to the soccer stuff for the sake of this being a WPS websit… Continue

Yea i know about the roughness of soccer. Tell me bout it. I might as well give my opinion like everyone else...
I guess you can say the soccer talk of the week was how that lambert girl from New Mexico totally "ruined" the game of women's soccer. Happening in the same week, those two high school teams broke out into a fight during a game in like Rhode Island or Massachusetts or something.
I saw the highlights of the NM and BYU game on youtube a couple day ago and DARN! that girl is FIESTY!
I… Continue
Woah. WPS has been a tad bit overwhelming this week...
Trading this, trading that, signing this, signing that... You would expect me to say alot... well you expected right.
Though very confusing, i have been able to gather all my thoughts on the whole shebang...
Let's start start with what started the whole commotion...
Two very strong words, WELCOME BACK!! Of course, i am referring to thee one, thee only, Carli Lloyd from Delran, New Jersey. I saw it coming actually-- i wouldve assum… Continue
(odd title, i know)
Yes, it's official. The leading scorer in the Beijing olympics has retired with 109 caps and 4 goals in the olympics along with two olympic medals and the pride to have played on the Boston Breakers. I got a text in school today about it and i was in a gape for a couple of moments. Funny thing cause the first person i told was the dude next to my locker and he replied, "Who is that?" Anyways, it was quite a shock for me because i personally didn't see it coming.
But then i t… Continue
(sorry the pic is humongous. can't resize it)
I think we all know who this is. There's also a big clue somewhere else in the this photo that pretty much screaming out this WPS player's name. Also, this was the only pic that i could upload taht didn't totally give it away.
I thought this… Continue
I guess that's a term you hear very often. Literally, there is no professional soccer team actually playing in my back yard (i don't even have one... i own a deck) but yea, i guess you can can consider myself being one of those people who have high level play of soccer in his or her "backyard".
Excuse the corny title XD i thought it was cute.
Anyways...
So Tuesday night was a somewhat normal day in the human world. School in the morn, soccer in the noon, dinner at night... ya' know the drill. But in the WPS world, Tuesday meant something completely different. So on that day, the Atlanta beat and the Philly Indys (i think that is a really good nickname dontcha' think?) got to pick some world class, tippy top, hippy hop, awesome, international players. The one who probably cought my ey… Continue
Havn't been able to write lately. much work and soccer going on, BUT i do have like 10 minutes to write an important blog about the Expansion and everything else :)
first off,
HELLO to 2010! i guess you can say it is pretty much official because of the expansion draft. Next season is NOW! what better way to kick off a new season with expansion drafting!! I think 2010 will mark a very important year truly because in the WUSA, this is where we saw the most decline in atendees. This… Continue
Well, today marked the game opener for many soccer players out there (well, in NJ for that matter). Sadly, our team lost 4-2 in the last 5 minutes of the game, but we fought hard through the piercing winds and the misty and rainy weather. Temp outside? very low...
Recently, there really hasn't been much WPS chit chat going on... ESPECIALLY on the fancorner, which got like a blog a day or every two days. Again, i must asked, did everyone like leave the city? WPS is NOT nor is it near over. It's… Continue
.. mah birfday. Yes i actually have tiem to write a blog on my birfday (not that i dont do anything special) and i havn't really gotten anything over the top soccer...well i didn't really ask for anything contrast to last year when i got some tickets to see the WNT in philly. so exactly what is there to blog about?
I have to start off with the all star game. All i have to say is, " I knew i was always a sinclair fan!!" Christine Sinclair was BEASTLY at that game. Omg!! With 99 goals for Canada,… Continue
THERE ARE TWO VIDEOS!! (not just the first one)Some post season party highlights i compiled in my spare time (which happend to be 12 hours a day in the summer). suprisingly, i finished doing all this in like 2 days. Hope you all enjoy!! and is it really that uncommon to turn left to go right (it's a jersey thing apparently. its my kinda norm though)
… Continue
i just really wanted to post this picture. nothing to great. This was taken at the Sky Blue FC party last night.
Boy was that a great night. I got to chat with some players, interview a couple (which i will be making into another video), again get their autographs (for the bagillionth time).… Continue
Those of us who play soccer in the fall (i know in some states they have spring league), we have all been experiencing the pain and agony of HS preseason (ohkay it's not THAT bad.. but in the beginning, it's pretty bad). Some people have 1 a days, 2 a days, even 3 a days. I'm lucky to only have it 3 hours for two weeks straight.
i remember my first ever blog on this site was about my HS tryouts (which were only three days suprisingly) and i didn't really make the cut for varsity (im assuming be… Continue

Like it was thunderstorming and there was so much lightning and the downpouring... typical Jersey i guess you can say. The Sky was pretty...grey, dark, muggy.
But to me, the sky was Jesus blue :)
I told you all Sky Blue was gonna win. They beat the sol (i find it funny becaue i said beat, like the atlanta beat...ohkay nvm. im weird). They were the underdogs coming into the playoffs. Theywere considered an "easy team to beat". Even the Gold Pride beat them early into the season. They've gone th… Continue
'Cause Jersey is in town :)
It kinda sucks that the game will be on delay all over the Jersey area. Luckily, i'm close tothe NY area so i get to watch the game at 6pm. Sadly for all those southern Jersey people, they get to watch the game atlik 11pm tonight, something like that. To solve that problem, apparently it's live at charlie browns in Highland Park, so i might as well go and watch the game live.
To my suprise, Jenni Branam wil be playing. Im not suprised that she's playing, i'm just sup… Continue
Keels and Yael, you guys are life savers. I didn't know if the goal was legit at first becauae i didn't hear any screaming... then i remembered it was in St. Louis, which is probably like a 14 hour drive from Jersey.
First off, Oh my goodness what a heart pumper. I've been sitting on a chair for two hours watching the games and im sweating like a pig!! Very VERY entertaining game.
I only pointed out four mistakes, but it could've costed them the game.
1. Putting in Kai at the half. I think if… Continue
Those of us who are like my age (middle school, highschool) probably know that "i less than three you" means "i <3 you" or "I love you" (if you dont, i didn't either until someone explained it to me).
but in this case, less than three also holds another meaning -- less than three hours before game time.
In less than three hours, Sky Blue will take on the second place St. Louis Athletica in the Super-Semis.
Nerve rackin' i tell you. After Sky's big win last saturday, i am very confident tha… Continue
Oh wow. I'm amazed. I'm in shock. WE BEAT THE FREEDOM for the FiRST time this whole WPS season (well it's post season, but you know what i mean.)
I will admit, i was unable to watch the game which got me into a panic. i searched every single sports channel on TVU networks, i title searched it on my friends TV, i did everything i could to try and find that game, but i failed.
So i was twittering and match tracking the game at the same time (same thing basically). So when i saw that Kai and Park… Continue
I won't have time tomorrow to blog before the game, so might as well give out some final thoughts now.
KNOCK 'EM DEAD THOSE FREEDOM!! :)
yea um... anyways...
I want to first say congrats to both teams on making it to the playoffs. It's well deserved for both teams and i can't wait to see converage of the game.
To Sky Blue, thank you for the tremndous season and the ticket and everything you have done to make this league amazing. (and giving me something to do)
So a little preview...
Sky Bl… Continue
i just wanted to point out that it's been one year since i posted my first ever blog on this website. I think that's pretty impressive. I remember it had to do with me loving soccer and varsity tryouts. It was during the olympics too so theres "beijing talk". My smilies have also changed since then (they currently look like :) but they used to be =] )
Much has happened in that time and i've probably writtin over 50 posts. The number of fans back then when i signed up was like 300-400 i believe,… Continue
