As many had expected but the Atlanta Beat had yet to confirm until Draft Day, North Carolina's
Tobin Heath (Basking Ridge, NJ) was the first player selected in the 2010 WPS Draft on Friday by
Atlanta at the Philadelphia Convention Center. Heath was the first of four North Carolina
Tarheels selected during the first round (and a total of 7 UNC players) including defender Whitney
Engen at No.
It's hard to say whether last night's draw with Kuwait consitutes a point gained or two lost.
Normally, one would say that squandering a two-goal lead indicates the latter. But given how poorly
the Socceroos played in the second half, the former comes into consideration too.
An instructive comparison can be made with another second-string Socceroo performance, against
Bahrain in 2006 (our first game as a member of the Asian confederation, in fact).
