http://www.fifa.com/events/playergala/MR_A/48852_E.html EDIT Tonight at 9pm EST on Galavision, they will air the 2002 FIFA awards. I just confirmed this on TVGuide.com (thank you M9fanatic). Oh yeah...and you WUSA.com message board chodes better make sure you give credit to where you got your info .
The running joke that is FIFA POTY continues... How did the Italian coach pick Lorrie Fair third??? Nice to see Michelle Akers get a first place vote
LORRIE FAIR KICKS @$$!!! --------------------- Hey DCU...last year didn't you tabulate the votes for this by the top 10 or 20 teams?
Other Freedom players getting votes include: Bai Jie (first place from Denmark and Finland, a couple of second-places) Pu Wei (second from Korea) Siri Mullinix (third from Mexico) Steffi Jones (first from Liechtenstein and Yugoslavia and a couple of other mentions)
I just watched this. They presented the awards in reverse order. Sun Wen (who was not there), Prinz, and then Mia. Sepp Blatter presented trophys to both of them. Mia was wearing a black dress with black CFM shoes. She looked very, very, very nice. She got her award and then apologized for not being there last year. Then she went to thank US Soccer, FIFA, her teammates, and her family who could not be there. Oh.... And then she thanked the most important person in her life...that idiot Nomar.
hey! did you tape this? I got home late and didn't see the post till just now. What channel is galavision on directv? think they'll reair it? darn...
I got your back magiclamp! Uhhh won't get it out till later this week or Saturday though. Oh...I think channel 404.
Mia looked lovely in that dress. I'm a happy Mia hommer today! I thought it was so cute when she thanked Nomar. Awwwwwwww!
Some pics: Mia and Bucky: http://sports.yahoo.com/m/world/gallery/20021217/1040167275fifa_player_xpw106.html Sepp getting read to kiss Mia: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/021217/170/2vxbb.html Mia and Bucky again: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/021217/170/2vx8v.html --------------------------------- For you chodes that believe FIFA's voting system is flawed...go fix it then. Buy all the judges DirecTV with a Phillips flat screen and make sure they get the Sports Package (I think that's only $10/month) and then tell them to tune into PAX, ESPN, ESPN2, CSN, FXSS, FSBA, MSG, and whatever else. Just do ANYTHING to keep from Mia getting the trifecta in 2003. Damn if that happens what's next..armageddon? Judging from some of the respones here and on the stalker board I would guess so. Or just have FIFA abolish women's soccer altogether.
Thanks for the pics Fear. Those look great. Too bad you can't see her other hand in those pics. The rock on her hand is HUGE! Nomar did good. Did you guys see it?
Honest suggestion: How bout naming the award after mia then declaring her inegilbile for it, basically saying shes so popular and good that she will win it every year so just name the award after her
Can I have a copy of the Gala event from anyone who taped it, I'd be willing to trade off a tape in return. I have a couple of UConn and USWNT tapes.
um the crowd shot right before the award for that chick who was in the movie "bend it like beckham" you can see it to when she's on stage
