The Women's Professional Soccer League announced its allocation of members of the U.S. women's
national team on Tuesday, establishing a foundation for the seven-team league set to kick off next
spring.
U.S. Olympic team star Hope Solo and U.S. national team striker Abby Wambach were among the 21
players assigned to the seven teams.
Given a choice between watching soccer and blogging about it, I'd much rather do the former, but
the scant rewards Wednesday for doing so included a tepid Manchester United 0-0 draw with Spain's
Villareal in the UEFA Champions League and a surprising 2-0 win by Marathon of Honduras over Cruz
Azul in the CONCACAF version
I will likely impose radio silence again today with two UEFA Cup games on Fox Soccer Channel
(Spurs-Wisla Krakow at noon followed by Tim Howard's Everton against Oguchi Onyewu's Standard
Liege) and New York meeting Sigi Schmid's Columbus Crew over on ESPN2 at 4 p.
