The Red Stars seem to really like each other. Very important. With the lack of USWNT stars till Press gets here, "a one for all, all for one", mind-set will be very important.

Here is a trivia question for you fans of Red Stars and women's soccer: What significant thing in CRS history happened the last time the Red Stars played at Toyota Park?
Last goal ever by the Washington Freedom? They played one more game in the playoffs but were shut out by Philly, then became team-that-must-not-be-named over the offseason. =edit= Oh wait, you said CRS history, nevermind!
Last time they played in Toyota Park they won the National Women's Open (2012). Here's a cute video from a local morning show on WCIU starring Chris DeRose and KK - http://www.wciu.com/youandme.php?section=home&assets=videos&assetID=10012920
Oh, I forgot that final happened on the main field! I thought that had all been played on side fields.
Well I had no independent memory of this as I am a new Chicago fan. I follow them and Arnim on twitter though so I saw the answer this am.
What struck me when watching that video is that this team is very blonde. For someone whose not familiar with a lot of the redstars, the only face I recognize is LeBlanc and Chalupny
That's my one short coming in women's sport, I do not follow the youth players or college games so unless these guys bump into me or I see them playing a couple of time, I can't recognize them.
Watch the U20 WC final against Germany and it shows u everything u need to know about Julie Johnston.
I think Johnston is very hard to recognize if you're not familiar with her. What distinguishing traits does she have? She's just another blonde western-european.
On second thought as I re watched, there were equal amounts of blondes and brunettes but they all have the same hair style except Leblanc who according to twitter will be sporting some stars cut out in her hair tomorrow.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. If her only distinguishing trait is that she's blonde, then when she's with a bunch of other blondes, she won't stand out. They way I usually recognize her is from her pre-wrap (which is usually thicker than other players) and boots (as she's the only player I've seen wearing Nike Premiers). But that doesn't help when she's in street clothes.
Adriana Leon is a good looking Blonde. She's the one getting off the bus in the beginning after Leblanc.
In the opening segment, Johnston gets off the bus towards the end of the group, she has a winter coat over her arm and rolled down ugg boots, and she is right before Bywaters who has what appear to be pink tongues of her sneakers pulled up. I actually think they are all pretty good looking, being fit and young, etc.
Lol, I like that you guys are pointing out all the blondes to me, let me watch and pay attention again
