Women's Professional Soccer

[Mercy Medical]

The league starts up in April, the draft is January 16th. After the failed attempt of a women's pro soccer league in the USA with the WUSA, I'm hoping this one makes it. Not really sure if any of you really care, but I'm excited.

[Broken Parachute]

I never followed women's soccer, but when I came to school part of my job was scorekeeper for the women's soccer games. Ever since then I've really watched a lot of women's soccer, college only though. The pace is slower than men's soccer, but I kind of like that.

[FondestMemory]

if they wore the same uniforms that volleyball does, i'd be interested.

[rcrook]

Women soccer players look like they're playing in quicksand

[StandMyBrothers]

if there's any hot broads playing, thats would attract my attention. but it seems they all disappear in college to ugly dykes on the field.

[thesafeword]

MLS+WNBA is a no no.

[preppyak]

if they wore the same uniforms that volleyball does, i'd be interested.
absolutely...that'd be awesome, as long as they drafted players based on looks, not talent

[J.C.]

I wish soccer was a million times bigger in this country than it is.

[Broken Parachute]

fuck no. if the mls is already horrible, this is gonna be worse. no thanksThe MLS is not horrible.

I wish soccer was a million times bigger in this country than it is.Agreed x10000.

[Mercy Medical]

Well now, this may be my first and last thread ever made in the sports forum...

I wish soccer was bigger in the US and I wish there was a bit more respect for women's sports. Yes, I will admit that women's soccer is not as excited as men's. It's significantly slower, but it's my heart and my passion and it makes me excited to see women in this country as well as other countries get to play on this level. I'm hoping this league does better then the WUSA did. I hope and plan on getting to at least a game down in DC.

[Spicoli hey bud]

Professional Women's sports will never hit a large target audience.

The closest thing is Tennis and maybe Golf.

[jaimej]

I have a hard enough time watching Men's Soccer.

[mcfly21]

i hope they suceed the la team signed marta didn't they. she won women's footballer of the year

[Mercy Medical]

i hope they suceed the la team signed marta didn't they. she won women's footballer of the year
Yea, I guess she's won that 3 years in a row.

[mcfly21]

well that should help its legitimacy, i know there's a good league in sweden (i think) but i dont know if there's a best league out there

[Mercy Medical]

well that should help its legitimacy, i know there's a good league in sweden (i think) but i dont know if there's a best league out there
I think Marta is leaving the league in Sweden to play in the US? At least that's what I think I read. There seems to be a good handful of foreign players in the US league and they're adding 3 more cities in 2010. They're holding open tryouts as well, apparently. I would looooooooooooooooooooove to make an attempt at that if I was still in good shape. Hahaha

[mcfly21]

fc gold pride

what a name

[williek311]

fc gold pride

what a name

I hate the use of FC for american soccer teams.

[Mercy Medical]

I hate the use of FC for american soccer teams.
Same, it doesn't make any sense considering we call it soccer here...

[mcfly21]

yeah, but its all to make the teams sound legitamate for foreign fans. Especially since they've signed a bunch of foreign players

[speakhandsforme]

As long as the shirtless celebration, as was displayed on the late 90s Olympic team, becomes mandatory, I'll have no qualms about watching it from time to time.

[StandMyBrothers]

not bad

[AEast317]

FC Indiana is the only women's team that matters.

[thesafeword]

More ladies, less soccer and I might be okay with it.

[rcrook]

what the fuck does that even mean?

[thesafeword]

I meant less emphasis on soccer, more emphasis on hot girls, but I bet that there won't be very many of those.

[rcrook]

im going to create a chat room for you and chcougar so you can all leave us alone...you can blow your wazzu load on each other

[thesafeword]

Good, it's about time they get some appreciation.

[rcrook]

i totally APPRETIATE wazzu...yeah shitty football and mediocre basketball in a cunt ass town. APPRETIATE or DIE!!!!!!!!!!

[thesafeword]

Ohhh, a fucking typo, you got me. And our basketball team is tied for the youngest in the NCAA, 9 freshmen, and still managing to be in position to make a post season run and we have a good recruiting class coming in.On the note of our football team, I would say that it's just because of a coaching change, but it really is pretty bad.

[rcrook]

make a run into postseason? you'll have 10-11 losses come the end of the season and nobody will give a shit about you come tournament time...puck you sir

[thesafeword]

We definitely have to buckle down, but if we do get into the tournament we could be dangerous for a win or two. Just look at what we did last year against Notre Dame and the 'amazing' Luke Harongody, or however you spell it. When was the last time you saw a Big East team score 41 points?

[rcrook]

yeah good luck with what you just stated tied for youngest team, 9 freshmen. so dangerous, very scared to face them in the tourney.

[thesafeword]

yeah good luck with what you just stated tied for youngest team, 9 freshmen. so dangerous, very scared to face them in the tourney.
We still have Aron Baynes and Taylor Rochestie, as well as Nikola Kopravica, Caleb Forrest and Daven Harmeling, even though they're all slumping, and Klay Thompson, DeAngelo Casto and Marcus Capers are all beasts. We're really just lacking a lot of what Kyle Weaver, Derrick Low and Robbie Cowgill brought to the table and we're in the process of replacing that.

[CarlosLunes]

haha punkd

[rcrook]

we were just punking him sir...it's not our fault he can't take a joke 8===D Tation

[Zeran]

personally, i don't see what the problem is. oh no, women's soccer! whatever. good luck, i hope they don't fail like last time, and it'll give women soccer players a chance to actually have a career.

[thesafeword]

Not sure what the whole punking things is, probably some joke I can't appretiate, but oh well.

[rcrook]

i punk you on your inability to spell appreciate sir. learn how to spell an english word then you'll appreciate miss.

cry me a busch light river in your dirtbag town with your miserable school. enjoy having your first basketball success in decades, maybe you'll learn what to do with it and actually do something in the tourney, if you make it this year.

I'm pretty sure a Sweet 16 appearance last year is 'doing something in the tourney' and this is coming from a guy whose football team was able to be worse than ours, I mean come on, even Idaho managed to get a win.

saying your football team is better than ours is like saying a turd sandwich tastes better than another turd sandwich. and we can't all play cupcakes.

We beat you head to head, so you can't play the Portland State card anymore.

[rcrook]

are you really talking shit? you went 2-10.

[Scott Weber]

in a cripple fight at WSU, without jake locker, in OT...be proud. take all you can get, you live in pullman.

[thesafeword]

are you really talking shit? you went 2-10.
Well, he's talking shit when his team went winless, I've admitted that Washington State football is a shit hole right now, but when he comes in attacking it, I just need to remind him that his team was the only winless, FBS team.

2-11>0-12.

That's all. I'm done.

[rcrook]

0-12 in seattle > 2-11 in pullman

washington would have won a game if they scheduled cupcakes like you did. there's no shit to be talked over football. just having to live in pullman.

[thesafeword]

Fine I grow up in Pullman, I get that it's a shit hole. I plan on going to college at the University of Maryland, so that doesn't really effect me. Good try though, would you like to relive the Huskies glory in the 80's while you're at it, since you have nothing else.

[rcrook]

he has electricity, something you don't have in that abortion of a town

people grow up in pullman? why would that ever happen unless your mom got knocked up while she was at WSU? the husky glory was in the 90s, you really must be like 14, huh? you don't even go to wazzu?

[thesafeword]

Yeah, I'm running on a primitive treadmill to power my computer and house as I type.

I was talking about Don James in the 80's, even though he did coach them into the early 90's, but whatever. And you're right nobody grows up here but some farm folk and we shop at the general store and shit in holes, you city folk are much more sophisticated than us. We have less people than cows, but we still have more people than the Husky football team had wins.

[rcrook]

are you ryan leaf's illegitimate son?

[Scott Weber]

No seriously....how old are you? If you don't remember the Huskies from 1990-1993....I'm thinking you're 15?

[thesafeword]

Are you the child that was a product of Kobe Bryant's rape?
No seriously....how old are you? If you don't remember the Huskies from 1990-1993....I'm thinking you're 15?
I'm 16.

[Scott Weber]

I'm 16.
If you don't even go to WSU the shittalk is lost on you, and if you weren't even born during 1991 you ain't got nothing to say.

I'm dead serious in that I didn't know that families lived in Pullman though. I thought the streets were made of vomit and date rape drugs and that the city ended after the last bar.

There's a whopping 5,000 without the students (almost 30,000 with them) and what does age have to with this? We're talking about this season and last season. A season in which the Huskies went 0-12, I mean seriously, even Idaho won a game, so you don't have much but the past and how much you hate Pullman to talk about.

[rcrook]

considering kobe bryant's "rape" occured in colorado...

Age has to do with it because I'm a husky and you're a nobody stuck in the armpit of Washington. If you're not a Coug, you're just a misguided youth who was forced to root for the worst athletic school in Pac-10 history.

And Idaho got to play Idaho State. If the school didn't schedule all non-conference monsters the huskies would have one too. Or if the refs didn't botch the BYU game. But who cares? Both programs suck ass.

[thesafeword]

considering kobe bryant's "rape" occured in colorado...
Yeah, because it's impossible to get from Colorado to LA.

1. I was raised as a Coug because both of my parents attended the university.
2. Your kicker still missed a grueling 32 yard kick. You guys still blew it.

[CarlosLunes]

your parents? retards have kids?

[thesafeword]

your parents? retards have kids?
Aren't you hilarious? Who else wants to just jump on this Pullman's a shit whole/let's suck Scott Weber's cock bandwagon? Better hurry though, the room for egos is running low.

Guess what, both my parents went to WSU too. At least they had the smarts to move out of the shithole the minute they graduated and I had the smarts to be a husky from the day I was born. Rough sauce.

I don't think it's suck my cock more as it's pick on the slow kid.

[StandMyBrothers]

Amy Rodriguez is kind of cute.......

I wasn't born in Pullman, we just recently moved here, about 3 years ago I think. Mainly because the high school is one of the best in the state, at least out of public schools, and my parents like it here. Not my choice.
I don't think it's suck my cock more as it's pick on the slow kid.
What makes me slow? The fact that my football team didn't go winless?

More because you use words like "costed."

Tough break.

[thesafeword]

Oh shit, my bad, of only I had a big city education like you do.

[Scott Weber]

Keep swinging for the fences!

[thesafeword]

Keep swinging for the fences!
And your shots on Pullman are different how?

[rcrook]

lol who MOVES to pullman?

[Scott Weber]

And your shots on Pullman are different how?
Haha, what? Maybe some day you can move out and into the big world, keep those dreams alive!

[thesafeword]

You're right, why would you move to any place that isn't a big city?

[thesafeword]

Haha, what? Maybe some day you can move out and into the big world, keep those dreams alive!
You're acting like I'm some hick from Pullman who's never left town other than to go hunting. I've been out before, especially to Seattle many of times, and I realize that it's better than Pullman, but you don't have to be a dick about it.

You'd get it if you actually went to WSU like I thought you did instead of being some kid who may or may not have a driver's license.

[thesafeword]

You'd get it if you actually went to WSU like I thought you did instead of being some kid who may or may not have a driver's license.
No, I have my driver's license, but regardless, you can stop being an asshole and just realize that I get it, Pullman sucks, especially for somebody your age because other than going to Cougar games there isn't anything to do.

[Scott Weber]

No, I have my driver's license, but regardless, you can stop being an asshole and just realize that I get it, Pullman sucks, especially for somebody your age because other than going to Cougar games there isn't anything to do.
Nah. If you ever become a cougar yourself you'll get it. It's all in good fun. Just perpetuating a rivalry.

[thesafeword]

I understand that, but whatever, this argument is about as pointless as a music forum argument.
