That game and others will be shown on Fox Soccer Channel.Seven teams will participate this year: Los Angeles Sol, FC Gold Pride (Santa Clara, CA), Boston Breakers, Washington Freedom, St. Louis Atletica, Chicago Red Stars, Sky Blue FC (New Jersey). Teams from Atlanta, Dallas and Philadelphia will join the league next year.
There is lots to talk about, but of course we are pretty shallow here, so we'll start with the uniform unveiling that was held in February in New York...the Puma uniforms look nice and all, but nothing out of the ordinary...However, we are not sure about what Puma is calling the "wrap"...somewhat of a skirt that can be worn during warm-ups supposedly. We'll see if that goes the way of the bell bottoms, alligator shirts and mullet hair cuts...
