So, as I sat there watching the LA Sol beat the crap out of the Washington Freedom, I thought to myself, "Of course. My team had to be the one with the old goalie and the player who broke her leg 9 months ago."
I refuse to root for anything that comes from LA, and I always try to pick a team that is semi-local, at least during the early years of a league. So, I went with the Freedom. I suppose I could also go with Sky Blue FC.
Has anyone checked Marta for some kind of internal rocket booster that allows her to be all over the field at one time? Seriously. She was killing the Freedom. Damn, she's good.
The TV schedule is pitiful. Of course, since I've also been a WNBA fan for 12 years, I'm used to it. FC Gold Pride hosts the Boston Breakers next Sunday. That translates to Brandi Chastain!?! and Tiffeny Milbrett hosting Kristine Lilly. Wait a second. This is 2009, right? Kelly Smith and Heather Mitts also play for Boston; Leslie Osborne and Formiga will be suiting up for FC Gold Pride.
Sky Blue FC will take on the Sol at 4PM, but that game isn't on TV.
Some of these teams have the dumbest names ever. I'm sorry, but they do. The only good names were carried over from the WUSA, which isn't saying much. The Sol is a cool name, but it was already used for a WNBA team that folded after only three seasons.
In other news, Geno Auriemma and the Huskies came back from an early eight point deficit---which commentators Pam Ward and Rebecca Lobo thought was the end of the world---to beat Cal by double digits.
Oh, and I can't wait for the WNBA to start.
