Monday kickaround

Again Gabarra with the blame-the-players routine. This guy makes me ill.

I am hoping that a reporter soon asks him some tough questions about tactics and player selection.

my only question is: where was Disco Stu?

Disco Stu doesn't advertise.

Nice goal, better set-up pass.

A better piece of skill IMO is Drogba's catch and assist on the 1st of Chelsea's 7 goals yesterday. The catch is sick.

Responded to that in the other thread.

Keep hoping. I don't think that it is going to happen.

Start a blog and get press credentials. Of course, if anyone in the Freedom FO reads your blog, you won't get credentials.

OT, but it seems tickets to the mid-week USOC match are priced the same as the league matches. Aren't they usually cheaper? I was going to bring all of my office colleagues for an experience, but it seems like a lot of money for a meaningless game between two crappy teams on a weeknight in the rain.

Is Ali Krieger coming back after Frauen Fussball? If so, when?

Maybe you can buy the cheapest tickets and then sit in the better seats. Tell the usher that the TV people told you to move to make the crowd look bigger.

I think I predicted three seasons max for WPS. I don't mean to be a hater, but look at how much MLS struggles. WNBA has had lots of issues despite being subsidized by the NBA. I just don't see a women's pro league making it more than a few years.

Is that the first time that the word Magisterial was used in a sports broadcast?

Ha! Just looking over UVa's NFL draft list, and Yannick Reyering wasn't drafted ;)

Who's the other announcer in the Barcelona video? I have fond memories of his voice for some strange reason.

I-270: No, it's not the first time "magisterial" has been used in a sports broadcast, because Ray uses it quite frequently. But has anyone *else* ever used it in a sports broadcast? Not to my knowledge.

Thank you, christopher_a_metzler, for that magisterial response.

From what I understand, she is not. The Freedom decided it wasn't worth having a player for just half the season.

If Freedom protected a player that doesn't even return, it will make the decision not to protect Lindsey an even greater F-up. A magisterial F-up.

Maybe Krieger will go to Philly too. I should think Sundhage would want her to play MLS somewhere. Valuable playing time against the non-German internationals.

Goff August 29, 2009:

*The Insider has obtained the Washington Freedom's protected list ahead of WPS's expansion draft: Abby Wambach, Cat Whitehill, Ali Kreiger, Homare Sawa, Lisa De Vanna, Sonia Bompastor, Erin McLeod, Sarah Huffman, Becky Sauerbrunn and Allie Long. Surprisingly, Lori Lindsey, who was invited to USA national team training camp next month, was not protected.

In addition to Lindsey, Philly is making better use of Lohman and Senty than the Freedom ever did. If Krieger joined them, it would be only logical.

"magasterial" is a Hudsonism

AARRGGGHHH!!!! We shoulda won against Philly!! and yes we shoulda kept Lori Lindsay! Joanna Loheman did well yesterday also...another ex-Freedom player gone to an expansion team!!
