My computer was taking a mid-winter nap the past few days, so that's why the blog was silent.
So, here goes:
- The WNY Flash officially announced the signing of Christine Sinclair, along with 2010 WPS ROTY Ali Riley and Kandace Wilson.
- WPS has one fewer team with the Chicago Red Stars suspending operations. You have to wonder if there will be a 2011 season for WPS at this point.
- Tim Holt talks about the LA Blues joining the USL PRO League in 2011 and being the lone west coast club.
- There are three USL teams in Puerto Rico for 2011. That could make for some interesting road trips.
- Ottawa is planning on joining the NASL in 2013.
- Is DC United trying to get Pat Onstad as an assistant coach?
- The USMNT has a rematch set up with Egypt.
- Portland has signed a former Arsenal Academy defender in Kerrea Gilbert.
- The Timbers also sent Jordan Graye to Houston.
- Fulham likes Clint Dempsey so much they may be looking to add Landon Donovan.
- Or maybe Landon is headed to Newcastle....
- This five stages of Sporting KC grief post is classic.
- Vancouver has signed a couple more players off their pre-MLS roster in Greg Janicki and Terry Dunfield.
- Akron won their first NCAA Men's Soccer title.
- Stuart Holden had the game winner for Bolton over the weekend.
- The Portland Timbers kit unveil was pretty epic. The kits looked nice, too.
- Now the question is which Cascadia team has the best look?
