U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage has named the 18 players that will suit up against New Zealand
tomorrow at 3 p.m. CT at FC Dallas Stadium. The game is expected to be a sell-out in the
20,500-seat venue and the U.S. players are looking forward to a fantastic Texas reception.
U.S. Roster vs. New Zealand

Hope Solo denies an Alex Morgan blastCan't say there is much to report from U.S. WNT training in chilly Frisco, Texas. All the players
are healthy and gunning for spots on the 18-player roster for the New Zealand game, but since
there's not much new, we decided to put together a top-10 What's New?

Fresh off a successful Olympic qualifying campaign, U.S. women's national team head coach Pia
Sundhage has called up 28 players for its upcoming friendly against New Zealand.
Nineteen of the 20 players on the Olympic qualifying roster were summoned by Sundhage for the
Americans' first game on home soil this year, including Alex Morgan, Hope Solo and Abby
Wambach.
The day after U.S. soccer fans celebrated the women's CONCACAF win and their Olympic
qualification comes word that the WPS is on ice for the 2012 season.
Word began to filter out via players and bloggers on social networks like Twitter Monday
morning, and the league officially made the announcement midday.
The US Women took down Costa Rica 3-0 to book their ticket for this summer's London Olympics.
Tobin Heath scored in the first half, Carli Lloyd continued her current run of form with a goal in
the second half, and Alex Morgan sealed the win with a late goal of her own.
Pia Sundhage made two changes from the team that faced Mexico on Tuesday, preferring Tobin Heath
over Amy Rodriguez and giving converted striker Kelly O'Hara a start at right back.
Pia Sundhage, head coach of the United States Women's National Team, announced earlier today the
20-player roster that she will be bringing with her to Vancouver, B.C. for the CONCACAF Women's
Qualifying Tournament. The two teams that make it to the final of the tournament, set to begin on
January 19th, will qualify for the 2012 London Summer Olympics.
The U.S. WNT had some special guests at training today -- the U.S. Under-18 WNT. The U.S. U-18s
are currently in camp in San Diego and drove up the coast to take in the USA's evening training.
Not only did they witness an intense practice, getting an up-close look at training at the highest
levels of women's soccer, but they also got brief talks from Abby Wambach and Christie Rampone.
Twenty-eleven turned out to be an interesting year, to say the least. It was a year that
witnessed the long-awaited arrival of Jurgen Klinsmann as U.S. Men's National Team coach, the U.S.
Women's National Team falling in agonizing fashion to Japan in the World Cup final, Steve Nicol's
departure as Revolution manager, the introduction of Jay Heaps as his successor and.
Having faced uncertainty about its future in recent weeks and months, WPS appears to have
avoided doomsday. At least for now.
WPS reportedly received conditional Division 1 sanctioning for 2012 from U.S. Soccer's board of
directors on Monday evening despite it only having five teams and the minimum for Division I status
typically being eight.
After a two-week training camp that featured 30 players, U.S. WNT head coach Pia Sundhage has named
the 18 players that will suit up against Sweden on Sat., Nov. 19 at the University of Phoenix
Stadium. Kickoff is 7 p.m. and fans can watch live via a webstream on ussoccer.com and also follow
along on ussoccer.
Sonoran Living, a daily morning show on ABC 15 here in Arizona, featured U.S. captain Christie
Rampone on a short piece this week. You can watch it here and see why Reece Rampone sometimes
doesn't like the start of soccer practice.

Chelsea may not be bolting from Stamford Bridge for a new home after all.
The club came up short in its attempt to convince the necessary majority of the Chelsea Pitch
Owners to sell back the stadium land that the club sold to the supporter-spearheaded group, and as
a result, the club can't regain ownership of the entire grounds.
Christie Rampone looking very captain-like at the NACWAA ConventionU.S. WNT captain Christie Rampone, the last active member of the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup
championship team, accepted the Honor Award on behalf of that 1999 team from the National
Association of Collegiate Women's Athletics Administrators last Tuesday and by some accounts, might
have have set up some post-soccer career opportunities for herself!
The National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) will bring more than
500 attendees, speakers and special guests to Pittsburgh October 9-11 for its 2011 National
Convention. U.S. Soccer's Women's National Team captain Christie Rampone and NCAA President Mark
Emmert and will headline the event at the historic Omni William Penn Hotel.
They say that one of the best coaches in the world is watching high level games and players. If
that's the case, Rylie Rampone, daughter of U.S. captain Christie Rampone has had some incredible
coaching over her five years as she has attended countless Women's National Team matches and
practices.
Of course, most of the time she was picking flowers, munching on snacks, napping, playing with toys
in suites, playing video games on an iPad or watching videos and cartoons on her portable video
player.
Today US Soccer announced the roster for the women's team when they visit KC to take on Canada on

By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. Hopefully, you have recovered from
the USWNT drinking game I put together for the World Cup Final; I know it did the trick for me. I

The Women's National Team has returned to the United States and made their first stop in New York
City. They received a very welcome homecoming, and fans greeted the team as they arrived in Times
Square.
Although the tournament is all wrapped up, the team is busy visiting your favorite news and
entertainment shows to talk about their experience at the Women's World Cup in Germany.
It is always sad when a World Cup ends. No more matches at all hours of the day, no more
constant media coverage, no more excitement with new heros daily emerging from obscurity. This
year's 2011 Women's World Cup was as entertaining an affair as we have seen from this (or any other
tournament) in quite some time.

Most of us in South Florida who know of the existence of magicJack, the Women's Professional Soccer
team playing in Boca Raton, have been wondering why the owner of the team (Dan Borislow) has not
made a real website or even done some type of marketing for a team filled with stars who in their
majority play for the U.
Team of Destiny.
It didn't matter who won the 2011 Women's World Cup final, the winner already had a title.
Japan was the Team of Destiny that brought joy to their nation after a devastating tragedy. The US
overcame odds leading up to and then throughout the tournament to improbably reach the finals.

The crowd in the bar in Delaware was stunned as Japan won the Women's World Cup, beating the
U.S. 3-1 in a penalty shootout after coming from behind twice in a 2-2 tie.
In a sign of how far soccer has come in the U.S., the bar was packed and people were lined up
two and three deep outside to watch the game.
The United States twice gave away leads, and series of poor penalty takes opened the door for
Japan as they captured the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
The match was dominated for large portions by the United States. The first twenty minutes saw
the Americans squander at least 5 quality chances inside the area, only to miss target.

The 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup Final is just hours away. Game days - espcially when kickoff is
late - move pretty slowly. And this day in particular has been crawling along at a snail's pace!
Game day in the hotel generally consists of rest, meals, more rest, and a pre-game meal. Not much
to do other than get mentally prepared for the game.
