Wow-o-wow Elli and Jess !!!

Elli got named as the top defensive prospect for the WPS draft, and Jess is listed as one of the top 7 coming out of college on the WPS site.

With all the woes about WPS solvency, it's still great news for both of them!

Hurray for both of them. Please post the midfield rankings here when they come out.

Excellent! If you see any articles about the financial health of the league overall could you post them? I know that some clubs aren't doing well individually...

OK, but it's not going to pleasant reading....

to round it out, here's some cheer about Christine.... and some semi-gloom about the league.

It's interesting to think about having a league with less teams. In a way, it might help. At least, they won't be diluting the talent base too much. They will have six teams with excellent players... I hope that will help them financially. For me, it's still tough to picture this league staying alive in the long term...
