they're using this image of another team's player on their promotions. Mia Hamm? No, it's actually Pu Wei. (The Spirit office, meanwhile, insists that the image is "an abstract representation.") Thanks to LGodfrey on the WUSA ezboard for finding this.
It certainly doesn't look like anyone from the Spirit. But what can you expect from a team that has virtually sucked since day one. Season one - ya just straight out hated them; Season two - ya just felt plain out sorry for them; Season three - you'll just feel sorry for Aly.
Interview with Aly Wagner: --"So Aly, you just got picked by the Spirit. How excited are you now that you will finally play Professional ball?" :Aly mumbles under breath: Goddamnit Power! What the ************ is wrong with you... "Oh yeah, you know...I get to play in a beautiful city with a great stadium and the best fans. I'm so excited to stay in California with this beautiful weather." --"So what about the team? Are you excited to play along side Julie Foudy, Joy Fawcett, and Shannon MacMillan?" "Well, actually I played with them before in this thing called the National Team...but as for the club, you know it's located in beautiful San Diego. They have a really nice shark exhibit there." --"Where at the stadium grounds?" "No silly...hey you look just like Anson Dorrance....Oh wow it is you! Yeah, that last stupid question you asked totally gave it away." --"Oh does it show? Well enough about me, how about the team? You think San Diego can pull it off with the Championships, especially now that the fans of San Diego are rewarded with Founders' Cup III?" "Yeah you know, San Diego has a great stadium and great fans that stick with the team even though they struggled for the past two years...but as for the championship...yeah you know the fans will still be there even if we don't make it. And with the weather San Diego has, who wouldn't want to come here?" --"Ok, but.." "Uh huh." --"The team?..." "Yeah..." --" ... " " ... " --"...Ok, thanks, Aly, for your time." "Yep, any time."
Re: WAR SD! You mean the same way they were in Atlanta and Boston, well I can see that! They seemed to be having a grand time there.
Re: WAR SD! Nice view. Ya know San Diego and the rest of California fall off into the ocean in that new disaster movie "The Core"... guess that nice weather would be a waste then, eh? FOUDY - "Okay team! We gotta get busy and make sure we are in FCIII this year! We gotta do it for the home fans!" TEAM - {leg kicks, head bobs, shouts and other annoying cheerleading moves} "Woo hoo!!!!!!!!" {suddenly ground shakes and loud rumbles are heard} PICKUP - "Like Jules, was that like you? Are you like cutting back on the donuts or something... like a total anti-donut diet thingy?" FOUDY - MAC - "No Flipup! The freakin' ground was moving and the sky has gone gray!" PICKUP - "Like, Oh." FAWCETT - "Sh!t!! The ground is breaking up! We're sliding off into the ocean!" WAGNER - "Damn you New York!!!!!! I coulda been a contender!!" PICKUP - "Whoa! Like we're totally going into the ocean! Check out the waves... Surfs up! Damn and me without my board!!" TEAM - "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" {Beat fans sitting at Herndon stadium... located in the safety of beautiful Atlanta} KGB - "Hey, you guys hear about California?" JD - "Yeah... and I hear it was really beautiful, especially SD." MEL - "Yeah, no one has heard from the Spirit or the Fish." PIPER - "Hmmm. Glad I was here! Hey look... here comes the BEAT!!!" ALL - {hoops, yells and screams for the best team in the WUSA}
