Chicago Teams

As far as I can tell, no - one of the three games from this past weekend is accounted for in the standings. It wasn't the Breeze's game, though. And the game that is accounted for isn't listed in the "schedule" at bottom left, nor is there a news story for it, so...

 

Maybe because FCI got pasted 11-0 by Fort Wayne? Might be the biggest reason there's not much on the game. This after FCI was beaten quite comprehensively 3-0 in the WPSL the night before by Fort Wayne FC (not the same organization as the WLS team).

 

I would love to go to the Red Stars games but I cannot make it on the week day when the game is at 4:30.

I'm hoping to make it to the July 2nd game and am trying to convince some of the old gang that used to go to the Red Stars games last year when they were in the WPS, to go with me.

 

next two options

well next home option is 6/29 (6/22 away in madison) and some special guest in attendance... saw tweet today. its a Supporters Club game so not published location -- 6pm i think ... then a road trip to milwaukee 6/30 that could be fun for 7pm game...

mrad hoping to see you and ratdog at the games.

 

Re: next two options

You will def see me at least a couple of times. I talked to ratdog and a couple of others who were regulars last year and said they are going.

BTW, sisyphus, did you know that the Red Stars are last year's Chicago Beach Soccer Women's Open Champion?

I believe Shannon McDonell played on that team last year.

You guys have to defend your title this year!

Oh, and BTW, could that special guest be a former CRS forward who now plays for a controversial owner in South Florida who sells a VoIP telephone contraption. Maybe EM? Just guessing.

 

Red Stars must win tonight to stay in WPSL Midwest - North Division title race.

Go Red Stars!

 

Red Stars to host WPSL Championship

 

Trying to watch the semis via the stream, but it's not working for me.

EDIT: Probably because I forgot that the game times are Central Time. See you in an hour!

 

That is kind of odd. The W-League has always had a consolation match. It seems rather unkind to have two teams show up to play just the one match considering what it takes to get them there.

 

I asked some boston players after they lost if they were playing in a 3rd place game and they said no.

 

re: the consolation game. the final four coaches were asked beforehand if they wanted one and they didn't. part of it is you have to consider the college players -- most of whom are returning this week. Back to back games when the second one doesn't really matter is risky and teams have an obligation to get players back to college healthy.

but for some teams too this trip to chicago is a reward for good season and they took advantage of the extra day and did some sightseeing

but consolation was offered and no interest.
