Here's The Guardian's take on the NWSL's opening weekend and predictions for the rest of the season. A couple of pithy bits: "...draft picks...
On the positive side, there's a lot of cheap seats available for this one! RSL 3 - 1 LAFC.
From the crackpot contingent: I think a noon start to the game in early March makes all kinds of sense. Better 50° in the rain at game time than...
From a practical standpoint, I think it's too busy. I like a definite contrast in each side's jersey during a game and the teams that have...
Kind of a neat piece on the Booth brothers playing against each other in Europe. The 2nd video in the article is pretty cool.
So this whole Atlantic Cup thing RSL is doing in Portugal. Anyone know anything about it?...
So Inter Miami hauls the team all the way to friggin' Saudi Arabia so Messi and Ronaldo can square off, and Ronaldo is "nursing a muscle...
Nick and his ex-wife Jacqui used to run a coaching clinic for youngsters. My daughter's team won a drawing or something for a couple of hours...
Wow, there's an interesting bit in there about Jason Kreis's possible return, too. I wonder how he'd do as assistant coach to Pablo.
Just signed Michelle Vasconcelos. Michele Vasconcelos: Fast Facts | Utah Royals (rsl.com) Don't want to ruffle any feathers, so I won't make any...
The Royals signed Mikayla Cluff. She played for BYU, but we've all got our crosses to bear.
Sounds like prime RSL material. I say let's sign the guy!
We likely slip down from 2nd to 4th or 5th by tonight, possibly (but not likely) to 6th. One of the very few times I'll pull for an LA team to...
Glad is tied with Chicho and Moose for most-goals-scored for the season, one goal behind Savarino. Sure, that says more about our offense than...
I'm usually a glass-half-full guy, but on the other hand, with a win, RSL could jump ahead of LAFC, Seattle and Houston. A lot would have to fall...
I don't ever recall seeing us come out so flat in the 2nd half, and the crowd went silent, too (except for the guy in front of us who wouldn't...
Maybe time to sub Vera out.
We welcome our brothers from the other side of the Rockies to our humble home this weekend. Both teams had their asses handed to them on...
Weatherman sez it should be around 95° and sticky in Houston at game time. Makes the RioT look pretty sweet.
The folks over in the Gals' forum are thinking the game might be postponed. [IMG]

They seem to be having a little bit of a problem with their drainage out there in Draper.
Aaaand back to Earth we come. Bit of a tough re-entry there.
It'll be interesting to see what they're charging for '23 - '24 season tickets in Miami. Non-refundable deposits are being taken for between $100...
How many times has a new, big-name player started with a club and made an immediate impact? He hasn't played with the guys very much so they...
