    What has happened to her. Anybody know? Is it a dip in form? She is not even starting for Sky Blue at the moment so it is no wonder she is not in the WNT.

    Well, she missed the start vs Chicago b/c of a concussion received in the previous game (or at least that was what the announcers said and she did play a half).

    But really, does anyone know what's going on w/ SkyBlue in general? On or off the field?

    Not sure. At the beggining and after the draft people were pretty happy with the team. Its early days yet though. Some of their players have impressed me.

    This might not be the right thread, but I am interested in your evaluation of the team. Have you seen more than just the televised game? I haven't so I don't have a ton of info on which to judge (the short clips don't give much info on overall play).

    There has been a lot of talk about Gabarra's coaching skills (or lack of same) in the Freedom forum but then again, they've been on tv a lot. I wonder if the other former WUSA coach in the league was having similar problems. Or are the issues not related to formation/coaching so much as new team adjustment issues//lack of a distributor or particular players under performing?

    It is surprising about Kai because she was amazing as a sub for the USWNT. Brought energy and fire out there and Kai had the highest scoring average among all USWNT players!! So it is surprising she's not doing that well. WPS competition must be generally harder than most international teams.

    Who can forget that time when Kai came on as a sub for the USWNT and scored a badly needed goal with time running out? You recall who they played?

    According to the today's Star Ledgar, Kai suffered a quad contusion in the Sol game, and is questionable for Sat.'s game at Washington.

    I think she's playing today.

    Nice of her teammate to help her pop the shoulder back into place...:eek:

    She had a nice goal and additional good play. She looked gassed about 5 min b/f she came off. As for the shoulder thing shudders I'm surprised she isn't in a shoulder brace since it seems to be coming out w/ ease. Those braces can be a bit restrictive but plenty of bball players have worn them w/ success. Candace Parker for one.

    Nice goal by Kai today, great to see. Hopefully there will be many more.

    I'm not a huge Kai fan but definitely have a new found respect for her after so calmly having her shoulder yanked back into place & staying on the field. impressive.

    She had shoulder surgery in 2005. I'm not sure which one or what they did.

    Congratulations to Sky Blue. It's good to have them home and at Yurcak. Like I said before " no one superstar but they can play with anyone".

    I think part of Kai's slow start to the WPS season was Ian Sawyer. Hoping her two goals to this point will help get her going, and she'll find herself on the WNT roster for July. Hopefully the shoulder gets sorted out- that was a bit off putting to watch her teammate yank the shoulder back into place. Yikes!

    Oh my, according to Tash's myspace page she is single again. A bitter ex on a posting rampage could be a bad thing for her personally, but I'm not sure I'd be shocked by much of anything she may or may not have done at some point in her life.

    Romario'sgurl is right cryptic references to things you can't or won't back up will get you in trouble around BS.

    Whatever that pick was I don't care. Natasha Kai has personality, something we need in the WPS. I like her. I think she is good for womens pro soccer. As long as she's not doing something illegal, taking steroids, etc.

    I'm not even a big fan of the chick..but the "covert" attempt to "destroy" someone's rep via a message board is lame and vindictive.
