On the Woes of Atlanta and Chicago: Is A Change Of Leadership In Order?

posted by All White Kit Wed, May 19 at 4:29pm

It’s not a pleasant subject and it’s not fun to write about. But as we approach Week 7 of WPS, there are two teams that seem to be locking themselves in the basement of the WPS standings. In six games, th...more

WPS Week 6

posted by Pretty Tough Tue, May 18 at 1:22pm

Drama in Atlanta, Abby Wambach doing her thing with a broken nose, Marta continuing to rip through defenses, Chicago struggling to find the net, and a draw in St. Louis are the main stories of Week 6 of Women’s Professional Soccer. The first game took ...more

The Anorak: Analyzing Week 6 Attendance

posted by All White Kit Mon, May 17 at 3:51pm

Number crunching time! Week 6 was the second least-attended week in the 2010 WPS season with an average of 4,096. And this despite huge weeks in Chicago and Boston. So why was this? Because St. Louis apparently doesn’t have many ...more

Breakers/FCGP Bedtime Reaction

posted by All White Kit Sat, May 15 at 1:30pm

At least I haven’t been drinking. Marta’s quite good. She scored the opening goal and the game-winning goal. Kelly Smith is good. She notched the equalizer. What’s that? Boston can score!!!! Boston’s fans are good. With 5...more

6 Things Learned in WPS Week 5

posted by All White Kit Wed, May 12 at 1:11pm

6.) Sky Blue FC Can’t Score Goals This wasn’t so much learned as it was reminded. ‘tasha Kai has scored literally 2/3rd’s of Sky Blue’s goals thus far but she’ll be out until who knows when. Which is not good for this team. A few teams have l...more

The Anorak: Analyzing WPS Week 5 Attendance

posted by All White Kit Tue, May 11 at 4:49pm

Week 5 was very nearly the second-best attended week of the 2010 WPS season behind Week 4. Certainly the Beat’s home opening buoyed figures, but the weekend average of 4,425 is right along the lines of the season average so far. The Beat’s numbe...more

A brief note on Atlanta/Sky Blue FC

posted by All White Kit Mon, May 10 at 12:40pm

Hey y’all, check out this awesome blog I just found: http://nightoflivingrefs.blogspot.com. Well I was wrong. No laser-sharp analysis (as if there ever is) or player ratings tonight. Why? Because I wouldn’t be able to cloak the disappoinment/...more

5 Things Learned From WPS Week 4

posted by All White Kit Mon, May 3 at 12:15pm

5.) Sky Blue FC: It’s Complicated Part II SBFC are 3/4s of a great team without ‘tasha Kai in the starting line-up. Bardsley just might be the best goalkeeper employed in WPS right now, Daphne Koster and Brittany Taylor are making a lot progres...more

Sky Blue FC, FC Gold Pride Reaction/Player Ratings

posted by All White Kit Sun, May 2 at 1:40pm

It was one of those matches that was a tail of two halves. FC Gold Pride looked far superior in the first 45, while Sky Blue FC did enough to mute FCGP’s stellar offense in the second half. Gold Pride came out ready to play Sky Blue off their pitch...more

WPS gives us the publicity campaign we've been looking for!

posted by From A Left Wing Sun, May 2 at 1:35pm

This campaign is the first I've seen for the WPS that looks like it was designed by people who play and/or watch the sport. These ads are actually quite traditional - when promoting men's sports. Women's soccer hasn't gotten this treatment (closest was...more

6 questions entering WPS week 4

posted by All White Kit Fri, Apr 30 at 11:51am

6.) Will This Finally Be Atlanta’s Week? It’s tough to argue against a record that features two losses and a goalless. That’s good enough for last place in this league. But alas, here I am arguing: the Atlanta Beat are better than that. Why? Simple...more

"Now Substituting For The Gold Pride, No. 2, Kim Yokers"

posted by Women's Sports Blog Sun, Apr 25 at 1:34pm

I turn to Envirogal and remark "Somewhere, the BC Fan is freaking. out." It was a long-running joke last year, our friend's "anyone but Yokers!" sub policy, long past the time when Yokers actually got decent out there.... Yesterday evening marked the f...more
