The Women's Professional Soccer league kicks off its inaugural season on Sunday when the Washington Freedom travel to California to face the Los Angeles Sol.
The match is the first for the seven-team league, which will get into full swing the following week.
Featuring stars such as Marta, Abby Wambach and Hope Solo, the WPS is hoping to succeed where the W-USA could not. With expansion to 10 teams set for 2010, the WPS currently features the following seven teams:
-
Boston Breakers
-
Chicago Red Stars
-
FC Gold Pride
-
Los Angeles Sol
-
St. Louis Athletica
-
Sky Blue FC
-
Washington Freedom
We here at SBI haven't really given the WPS much coverage in the past, but are looking to include coverage as soon as we find a capable women's soccer writer.
For now, tell us what you think about the upcoming WPS season. Are you looking forward to it? Were you oblivious to it? Too enthralled in the start of MLS and World Cup qualifying to notice? Wondering if Marta will dominate the league?
