http://football.guardian.co.uk/womensfootball/story/0,12783,884529,00.html I'm not sure if there's a nother thread on this Guardian article about women's football in England. First off, I think the article is optimistic about how popular the WUSA is, but I guess it's nice that we're considered the standard.
Gallery of English stars http://football.guardian.co.uk/gallery/0,8555,891135,00.html Wonder if any of these ladies are WUSA material, but staying in England to grow the game there.
I remember Ellen Maggs from the FIFA U-19 Championships last summer. She scored a couple of nice goals. I think she could play in WUSA.
Several of these players could play in the WUSA. Sue Smith would be an excellent striker for somebody here.
Fulham (who went semi-pro) and going backwards to non pro. It's going backwards, not forwards. If the school system allow girls to play, which still is very rare, then maybe. WUSA has to surive, which is pretty shaky, if anywhere else will make it.
We have some excellent young players that could definately play in the WUSA especially Ellen Maggs, Katie Chapman, Rachel Yankey, Fara Williams, Katy Ward, Rachel Unitt, Laura Bassett. I don't think any would go to the WUSA though, but know that Fulahm have gone back to semi-pro Rachel Yankey may be interested shes like another Kelly Smith only quicker, she has excellent ball skills and plays left wing always gets good crosses into the box and is a dead ball expert. Ellen Maggs is an outstanding player at the beginning of the season she scored 2 goals aganist Fulham in the Community Shield Final and she dominated their defence 1 goal was an excellent chip from an impossible angle, god knows why Hope Powell hasn't given her an England cap yet, shes first choice Arsenal striker and scores goals angainst continually against the best teams in england had an excellent U19 tournamnet from the reviews ive seen.
England vs U.S.A. The U.S. women's national team will take on England in a friendly - I guess then we'll be able to measure the caliber of English play in a head-on situation. Any predictions? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/us/news/2003/02/21/uswomen_england_ap/
3-0 USA maybe more, Hope Powell is meant to be experimneting with young players, we only go beat 2-0 in the algarve Cup last year with our younger players
