Week 4 of WPS took place at the same hour, same day and same coast. All 4 games this weekend were played at 6 pm on the east coast, on Saturday with a special FSC broadcast of the Sky Blue FC-FC Gold Pride match up that day. This weekend saw the Chicago Red Stars earn their first win of the season against a very strong Boston Breakers side, and that was the big story that came out of WPS.

This is what happened on Week 8 of WPS after a little rescheduling of games. FC Gold Pride (#1) hosted the Washington Freedom (#2). Sky Blue FC (#4) took a little road trip down to Philly to face the Independence (#3), and the Athletica Atlanta Beat (#7), now being called Atlantica (Hope Solo started it!

Women's Professional Soccer announced the starting 22 players for its 2010 WPS All-Star Game presented by U.S. Coast Guard Reserve which kicks-off at 8pm ET on June 30 at KSU Soccer Stadium in Kennesaw, Ga. The starting 22 players were selected on ballots from players (25%), coaches (25%), media (25%) and online fan voting (25%).

Week 9 held another battle for 1st place as the FC Gold Pride took over Philadelphia, another Boston Breakers loss after Sky Blue FC took home a win on a late goal, and the usual for the Chicago Red Stars as they tied the Washington Freedom, except this time, they actually managed to score some goals- that's a positive.
