Where does this Italy team rank as champions compared with the other World Cup champions?
Let's face it. These are difficult times to be a women's soccer fan in this country. The team has virtually disappeared from national sports...
It's never too early to think about the next presidential election. Polls show Hillary as the early favorite to get the Democratic nod, and...
I don't often see these threads in the women's game. I'm curious as to what you think. Only one rule - you can't use a player twice (so no...
Here are a few observations on the USA winning the gold. First, finally, the USA has won a major tournament without Michelle Akers. Second,...
If Bush wins in 2004, who will be the nominees in 2008? If Kerry wins in 2004, who will be the GOP nominee in 2008?
It is less than a month to July 10, 1999. I'm sure most of you remember the day well. USA 0, China 0; USA wins 5-4 on penalty kicks. USA wins...
Candace Parker won a slam dunk contest over five guys that LeBron James and Carmello Anthony have won in the past....
Who's in? Germany, Sweden and Greece, if I recall from WWC '03. No Norway. Incredible. USA, Mexico. An African team. A South...

Michelle Akers is as delightful off the field as she was awe-inspiring on it. Here is the transcript of her ESPN chat from yesterday....
Creative idea by the master of tapes, but I must ask: Did someone die? They lost a soccer game. They're still heroes. We have to do...

The USA has a depth problem. Do the math. The squad has 20 players. Two are keepers, so there are 18 field players. Ten start. That...
Who thinks some WWC sponsors are kicking themselves for promoting Wagner in the ads instead of Wambach? If Wambach continues to play this way,...
Joy Fawcett. Ever since Akers retired, penalties have been a USA problem. Chastain took a few early in Heinrichs' tenure, but she is...
Am I the first to notice that seven of the eight quarterfinalists in WWC '03 are the same as in WWC '99, and the one new entry, Canada, was widely...
Is there anyone there who, before reading this post, was planning on taping either the semifinal game scheduled to feature the USA or the final?...
Abby Wambach has impressed the daylights out of me so far. First, against Sweden, she jukes a defender out of her shorts, passes with the...
