They announced the Women's World Cup team. Looks like six players from the magicJack team that plays at FAU are on it. That's something, right?

Here's an interesting note on "our" WPS team: "The South Florida franchise of Women's Professional Soccer has been docked a point in the standings and a draft pick for not meeting league standards."

Has anyone gone to any of these games?

I wonder what they are like.

Wasn't magicJack supposed to pay for renovations, including expanding the capacity?

They aren't going to last long if the league has to keep disciplining them for "not having a regulation-sized field or sufficient stadium capacity."

 Apparently it is a great team. They have several US National Team players.

My understanding is that the field is the size the magicJack requested. Be interesting to see if this makes the magicJack adjust.

As far as building a soccer stadium, the idea was that the magicJack would play this year at FAU's current field, then if all went well they would discuss helping to build something like a 5,000 seat stadium on FAU's campus.

For what it's worth, FAU people seem pleased by the attendance so far...

The heroes from that great women's world cup have ties to FAU. Both Abby Wambach and Hope Solo play for the WPS team that plays at FAU. Magicjack all the way...
