- Could D.C. fans find Freedom in W-League? Here’s what we know about women’s soccer in the D.C. area and what we don’t know, all leading up to a couple of hypotheticals: KNOW: The WPS team formerly known as the Washington Freedom is now magicJack’s Washington Freedom. Yes, magicJack … not magicTalk. Dan Borislow, the team owner, says the product name “magicTalk” will be ...
- AmWoSo (W-League, WPSL) Power Rankings: June 25 We got upsets. And we’ve got teams in the W-League Western fighting for those two playoff spots. In the East, the strange thing about the format is that the second-place team from the top seed’s division will advance. That means the Charlotte Lady Eagles and Virginia Beach Piranhas might have actually hurt themselves by getting draws ...
- AmWoSo (W-League, WPSL) Power Rankings and playoff picture: July 16 It’s playoff time, and we’ve already seen some good teams’ seasons end – the W-League’s Atlanta Silverbacks, New Jersey Wildcats and Colorado Rush; the WPSL’s Beach FC and Maryland Capitols. The WPSL Elite has one more week of the regular season, but the four pro teams are already in the playoffs. The regular-season title may come down ...
- Women’s soccer marketing: The kids are not alright Joanna Lohman, the women’s soccer player most likely to win The Apprentice if she could stomach being in the same room with Donald Trump, has posted a strong, well-supported argument to pitch the new women’s soccer league to people other than soccer moms. Some of the ideas aren’t new. Plenty of teams, including the Washington Freedom, have had beer gardens. ...
- The effect of arguments A message came in over Twitter from a private feed (I’ll identify him if he likes), asking a good question: “Why on earth do you engage with complete morons?” This was in response to last night’s Twitter fight, in which I was arguing with two guys with a combined Twitter followership of less than 50 people ...
- MLS and the $40,000 men The new MLS collective bargaining agreement has ensured one thing: No more stories in the media expressing shock that some players in the league are making $20,000 a year. (The shock wore off when this became an annual occurrence.) We still don’t have full clarification of “developmental players” and how they may or may not fit ...
- Virtual Viewing Party: Mexico-South Africa Can’t be at your favorite watering hole for a game? Just so enamored of a couple of soccer bloggers that you want to chat with us? Desperate for updates? Twitter crashing? You’re in luck. Hop in the discussion below for the World Cup opener and come back throughout the Cup for more chatting. South Africa vs. ...
- Book review: ‘A Beautiful Game’ The first thing you’ll notice about A Beautiful Game is that it’s a beautiful book. The photography is rich and diverse — a treasured pair of dirty boots in Liberia, a youth clinic in Cambodia, a junkyard kickabout in Brazil, Fabio Cannavaro with a medal in Germany. Flip through the pages, and the scenes are ...
- MLS Week 10: The meek shall inherit Highlights and oddities of the week: - The bottom two teams in the league won, and the two target forwards not in Bob Bradley’s U.S. plans scored goals. - My Player of the Week vote lurched from Javier Morales (RSL) to Stefan Frei (TFC) and to Danny Mwanga (PHI) before landing with Shalrie Joseph (NE). - Revolution goal-scorer ...
- Today in WPS and the Florida courts Dan Borislow won part of his case in Florida, with the court saying WPS improperly terminated his magicJack team while reserving judgment on “irreparable harm” and other issues of the case. A hearing on Jan. 18 will address the rest. (Skip toward the full circuit court ruling if you like.) This evening, WPS released a statement ...
