The USSF announced today who was being called up for the friendly against Scotland. Both Joy and Tiff were said to not be available due to 'commitments during the WUSA off-season.' I wonder what that means? http://www.ussoccer.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=20879
It could be sponsor related. In the fall of 99 and 2000, Millie came to Boise, Idaho and the rest of the PNW to push energy efficient washing machines. I don't think she did it in 2001 but then again I could be wrong. A Korean MNT'er came to Boise not too long ago and I missed that .
Huh?!? Tiffeny went to Idaho to sell washing machines? Is that a clever joke? It is hard to tell over the Internet....... If so, it went right over my head.......

From the North County Times: http://www.nctimes.net/news/2002/20020824/62352.html ----------------------------------------- Oliver Russell and Associated ad agnecy (around the block from my office) handled the Energy Saver washing machine account for this region and somehow Millie was involved. I've got pics from when she was here in 2000 if you don't believe me.
Joy not in Scotland match I read some months ago that Michelle Akers is holding a soccer camp this fall. I know that Millie was scheduled to be there and maybe Joy is too. I'm sure that April would want them to honor their commitments to Michelle.
I think they had somethin else to do. Tiff and Joy are awesome and I don't think they would just not call them up. but i dont know.
Even though Joy isn't really comfortable in the middle back position yet, it was obvious that the NWT missed her defense during the Scotland game. The team was lucky that Julie Fleeting only got a goal and an assist. That miss wide of the right post right before half time would have actually put them in a 3-2 lead!
