How do we get some discussions going in this forum? Do we have to bring back the one word thread or something silly like that? (I think Bonnie says no). Is there nothing worthwhile discussing? Who should we try for in the draft? Anybody want to go down to Charleston for the Iceland game?
Here's a question: With 2 retirements and things unsure about Sun and Wang... Who do you think they'll draft? Who else do you think will get cut/waived? Who would be a good pick up? What the hell is going on? Because I'm lost damnit.
But Sunny said she wouldn't come back and play for the Beat if Liping wasn't going to be there. So is Sun gone?
I'm with Fear on the whole Sunny issue... she's a GREAT player, but she's just been so injured and hasn't been able to add too much to the Beat. Maybe it'd be a good time for her to retire? I'd hate to see her go, but maybe it's for the best. How many spots are now open on the roster because of retirements and things (since Wang isn't coming back and we should assume Wen isn't either), how much room does the roster have to play with? A look at the players who are left, who do you guys think has the biggest chance of getting cut/waived/traded? How many International spots are open as well?
3 int spots if sunny and liping don't come back (hopper gets her 'green card') think roster's down to 14? hooper, nonen, kylie, cp, serlenga, twins, lisa k, scurry, sawa, miller, cromwell, burt, wilson
So much for needing a waiver date/deadline eh? All the Beat players seem to be just walking away... I wish they'd just get with it and name that International player... well, hopefully everything went well and they got to sign her. Gosh, I can't wait for the season to get into the swing of things.
I don't think Reserves have been cut yet b/c of the cba stuff and KD was moved to active roster. I'm not sure if she was dropped back down. but I know she was moved up even though I hope they cut her.
My sources on the Mainland say that Sun and Wang are going to stay in China this season to prepare for the AFC Championships and the World Cup. Unfortunately, I am not able to disclose the source. (Let's just say that being white and able to speak Chinese has its advantages).
I'll miss all our retiring players becasue i loved them as a team, but we have to see this as an opportunity. We ought to be able to draft some good people. Remember Stone was very in touch with the A league players, so that in addition to foreigh and college players we may get one or two sleepers from the A league.
A League or W League? Maybe you rented this movie: http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1804555498 * *Note: This post has been sealed with OFFICIAL winky protection.
I'm still up in the air about the USWNT vs Iceland game. Mainly because they've cut my hours at work down to nothing ... So, if I have a somewhat decent paycheck around that time, I'll go. But as it is, I'm not going to kill myself financially to go to yet another :insert bitterness: one sided game. I'd almost rather just save my cash for WUSA games.
