Women's National Team--Good and Bad
First, for the good. How cool is this? The Olympic gold medalists you're used to seeing in soccer shorts and jerseys, took to a different 'field' on Halloween. And do they look great! My vote goes to Shannon Boxx, who whether she makes it to FIFA Player of the Year (she is one of ten world finalists), could win the prize for best costume. In fact, you won't even recognize her, if not for name I.D.

On the flip side, I wish as many people would come to watch these women play as likely check them out in Halloween garb. In the Nov. 1 post-Olympic tour game in Virginia vs. South Korea, a paltry 3,387 came out to see the U.S. win, 3-1. I don't know where or how the tour is falling flat, but this does not do justice to these women, and to the sport.
I don't know on who or what to attribute the blame; I only know it is a reminder to work extra hard for Sky Blue FC and WPS.
