Fall Tour
Please DO take a few moments to read the NBC article on the positive effects of Pia Sundhage’s tenure as head coach of the USWNT, as well as Andrea Canales’ thoughts on the topic. And with the success at Bejing, it certainly looks like Pia will be around for a long time to come. And even better, with WPS around the corner, the residency camp system will end and Sundhage will switch to a routine of monitoring players at their clubs and setting up a series of short training camps throughout the year.
But before all of that awesomeness starts, US Soccer has a fall tour lined up where the team plays three friendlies against Ireland in Philly, New York, and Chicago. It does not look like these games will be televised so lucky you if you live on the East Coast. Us West Coasters will have to make do with wasting our time searching San Francisco for the last remaining bar not taken over by hipsters which was what I somehow found myself doing last night (and I failed).
Anyways, the USWNT blog is asking readers to come up with a name for the tour. And it appears the general consensus is to fit the word “gold” in there somewhere so we’ve got stuff like the “Golden Booties Tour,” “Gold Standard Tour,” “Gold Champions’ Tour.” You get the picture. I really don’t have an opinion on the name, but I just gotta say that if it’s a TOUR then US Soccer getter get to it and schedule a really great opening act! And since it’s an East Coast tour of our hard working, tough, and winning National Team then I suggest none other than the seriously fierce as all hell Amanda Blank should perform (Spank Rock can come too). Check out the awesome rework of The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight and for those reading who are not easily offended, get Loose. That’s some good shit right there. I simply cannot think of a better way to celebrate our win and get the rest of us excited about the new league.
