Still Kicking By John Powers July 19, 2009 So what’s on your iPod as opposed to theirs? Styx is still on there. I’ve got Barry Manilow on there. I love Elton John, Queen, a variety. But then I’ll suddenly like one of the hit songs, and my teammates all laugh at me. I’ll ask, “Who sings that song? Something like Ne-Yo? That’s a name?” Just another reason Kristine is my all time favorite player!
Lilly can't wait until next year By JOHN NASH As she stood on a terrace over-looking the Harvard Stadium turf, Kristine Lilly was all but certain of one thing: She had one more year left in her, one more year to give back to the sport that has given her so much. "It's like anybody who has a job. You want to do it as long as you can, especially if you love it," she said. "Ever since I was little, my biggest strength on the soccer field is that I can play the game. As long as I feel like I'm making an impact -- that I'm happy with, not everybody else -- then I'll keep playing. I don't have much left in this engine, but I'm hanging in here. That's my plan."
Good for her! If anyone can positively benefit an organization on all levels, and an aspect of culture, it's Lilly. Her passion, honesty, and humility extend to all who have worked with her, and for that the Breakers, Boston, etc. are a better place. But y'all know that! Best wishes to her and her support teams.
Lily played well this season and she should keep playing as long as she thinks she can. If she stays in shape why couldn't she play till 40 or even older?
