Hi! I've been a women's soccer fan since early 1999 and have been following the US women and the WUSA since then, but I wasn't really following the WUSA last season and I just found out that China's Sun Wen no longer plays in the WUSA. If this is true, what happened, where did she go? Also, I noticed on the WUSA website that there is no longer national TV coverage for one WUSA every week, what happened to that? Ok, thank you in advance for your answers.
1) Sun Wen retired from the league but she is playing on the Chinese WNT. 2) There is national TV coverage. PAX will be airing most of the WUSA matches this season. ESPN2 will be carrying the April 5th season opener as well as the All-Star Game, one of the playoff matches, and FC3.
The WUSA TV schedule is here on the PAX website. I don't know why it's not on the WUSA website. Sun Wen is staying home in China to help her national team get ready for the WWC. Officially, she's retired from the WUSA, but there are hopes she'll be back in 2004. Sun Wen retires from WUSA Article from Atlanta Beat website
Thanks! Thanks for your answers guys! I feel as if I don't keep up with the league for one season and I miss out on big news. Thanks again.
Along with 4 regular season matches, according to the LA Times! http://www.latimes.com/sports/socce...227736.column?coll=la-headlines-sports-soccer
No home TV for the first Boston Breakers game. Next week on PAX and they're working on getting ATT3 again.
I'm not registered with the Times and am not inclined to do so just this second, so I can't read the article - but all the other accounts I've read about the deal stated that the listed games (season opener, all-star game, semifinal, and final) WERE the four games they were talking about, not in addition to four other games. Can you quote the article?
From LAT From the WUSA Looks to me like Grahame Jones misunderstood the WUSA statement. The four live matches on ESPN2 will be: 1. the opener on 4/5, 2. the All-Star match on 6/19, 3. a Semifinal match on 8/17, and 4. FCIII on 8/24
