Rather than being forced to regurgitate prophesies 365 days from now about what will happen in the year of 2011 for women's soccer, I thought it would be in my best interest to simply “list” my stream of consciousness. To make it more intriguing, I invite you to play along. What will you be anticipating for women’s soccer this year?
My short list in no particular order:
--Will anyone select Birgit Prinz or Fatmire Bajramaj over Marta for the Balloon D’ Or?
--Will teams continue to cry if they lose to Canada?
--How will FIFA and the WWC handle the accusation of male players on Equatorial Guinea and will main stream media focus on that topic rather than the quality of soccer?
--Will Alex Morgan live up to all the hype and expectations?
--Can Brazil manage to be disciplined enough to win the World Cup?
--Will Canada shock the world?
--Will I be able to watch the Women’s World Cup sober if I invent a drinking game which includes taking a drink whenever someone mentions Chastain ripping off her shirt?
--Large group of brilliant international goal scorers in World Cup--but who will score the most?
--Will the WPS survive to last into 2012?
--Will my updates about the Frauen Bundesliga (Germany) mention anything other than snow?
--Who will win the Frauen Bundesliga, Turbine Potsdam, Frankfurt, or 2001 Duisburg?
--Will we still criticize the USA even if they continue not to concede any goals?
--Will the German youth teams continue to dominate everything?
--Will we ever see Pia Sundhage in full anger rage, swearing in Swedish at her players?
--------feel free to leave your own!
Happy New Year! What a great year it will be for Women's Soccer!
