USA Vs. Ireland Preview: the USWNT Celebration Heads to Portland USA vs. Ireland Preview: The USWNT Celebration Heads to Portland The USWNT's celebration tour continues as the team takes on Ireland at JELD- WEN Field on Wednesday night. [Originally appeared at Stars and Stripes FC 11/28/2012] The United States Women will take on Ireland on Wednesday night at JELD- WEN Field in Portland, Oregon. It's the first of two friendlies the two sides will play - the second is on December 1st in Glendale, Arizona - as the U.S. continues its post-Olympic celebration tour. The first match will air live on Fox Soccer at 10 p.m. ET. Because we're still on the celebration tour, and because Jill Ellis is still technically in charge - new head coach Tom Sermanni doesn't officially take over until January 1st - don't expect any changes. Ellis might continue the slight tinkering in the back line, as she did in the team's last match against Germany. The USWNT's back four has been a work in progress since, well, it's been a long time. Maternity leaves, retirements, injuries, players playing out of position and so on, and Ellis has continued the tradition of throwing people into the revolving door. Against Germany, Becky Sauerbrunn got the start and went the full 90. There was also something about Sydney Leroux spending 16 minutes as an outside back after Heather Mitts somehow injured herself while kicking a German player in the head. Ellis could repeat one of these scenarios - which one depends mostly on your confidence in Mitts, and how hard Ellis wants to troll a bunch of screaming pre-teens/people in Portland, because Portland, soccer. But even with all the usual suspects, there's still potential for some interesting moments. The USWNT's 8-0-0 record against Ireland leaves this game prime for the kind of sleepy performance that leaves the team's eight-year domestic unbeaten streak in serious peril until Alex Morgan scores a goal in the 89th minute. There's also Abby Wambach, who, with 148 career goals, is quickly closing in on Mia Hamm's all-time record of 158. The USWNT does have a few things going for it that might just cure that sleepiness though. Portland's reputation as a soccer city promises a solid crowd and a few players have connections to the Northwest - Megan Rapinoe played in Portland collegiately, Wambach recently bought a house there, and Hope Solo is from Seattle and played collegiately in Washington State. Solo, Rapinoe, Morgan and Leroux all also played for the Sounders Women last season. In the eight previous meeting between the two sides, the USWNT has scored 30 goals and allowed just one. The last time the two sides met was a trio of games in 2008's post-gold medal tour, which the U.S. won by a combined score of 5-0. That series featured goals from four different players, including a pair from Tasha Kai, one from Lori Chalupny, the first and only goal of Kate Markgraf's 201 game career - which came on a PK, and one from Heather O'Reilly. O'Reilly is the only player still active with the USWNT [Insert "Free Lori Chalupny!"-related comment here]. And that this, too is a celebration tour is not the only similarity between these games and the ones four years ago. Then, the players were finishing up a busy 2008, with a brand new "we're not going to make the same mistakes we made last time" professional league on the horizon. Four years later, the players are finishing up a busy 2012 with a brand new "we're not going to make the same mistakes we made last time or the time before that, like, we're not even going to tell you the league's name this time, plus now we have the backing of U.S. Soccer! And Canada! And Mexico!" professional league on the horizon. And of those games in 2008, two of the three were in WPS markets, Chicago and New Jersey, and the third was in Philadelphia, which got a WPS team in 2010. This time around? Portland will field a team in the new league. [http://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2012/11/28/3700804/uswnt-vs-ireland-preview-the-celebration- heads-to-portland] .

  • October 17, 2019 University of California, Santa Barbara U.S
    DAILY NEXUS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2019 www.dailynexus.com UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA U.S. Women’s Soccer Captains Speak on Gender Equality, World Cup Success at Arlington Theater Barbara Soccer Club and American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO). “It’s weird seeing her in person and not on my phone screen,” Reese Termond, a 17-year-old who attended the soccer clinic, said after seeing Rapinoe. “She’s actually human and not a robot that dribbles through people and scores goals.” Both on and off the field, Rapinoe was relaxed, personably cracking jokes as she gave advice and answered questions. Morgan was unable to assist at the clinic due to a knee injury but came later to the event to speak to the younger players, urging them to believe in themselves and their abilities. “Did I think that this would actually happen? I’m not sure. But I had the dream when I was 7, my mom believed in me, my family believed in me and that encouragement helped me become who I am today,” Morgan said after being asked by a player at the clinic if she always believed she would play professional soccer. Morgan and Rapinoe’s personal and professional growth was also discussed in-depth at their evening talk. Moderator Catherine Remak, from the radio station K-LITE, brought up their experiences playing high school and college soccer; Rapinoe played for the University of Portland and Morgan for UC Berkeley. Rapinoe joked about her experiences getting “walloped” as a high school player who was “never on a winning team.” But she admitted that the experience of losing led to growth, stating how “even at this level, we’ve had some really tough losses in our career and you can’t let that define you.” Both captains discussed some of the difficult defeats they’ve endured, referencing their loss to Japan at the 2011 FIFA World Cup on a penalty shootout in overtime as an example.

  • Marketing of Professional Women's Soccer in the United States
    MARKETING OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S SOCCER IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH FEMINIST THEORIES by CHRISTOPHER HENDERSON (Under the Direction of James J. Zhang) ABSTRACT Despite the success of the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT), two women’s soccer leagues have quickly failed in the U.S. This doctoral dissertation examines the past and present of the marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States emphasizing feminist themes to fulfill three objectives: (a) to critically examine the history of the marketing of women’s soccer in the United States to identify and gain a better comprehension of changes in theory and practice of marketing in women’s soccer in the U.S. over time; (b) to identify and explain the use of three feminist themes in the marketing of women’s soccer, specifically in the NWSL; and (c) to analyze the impact of these three feminist themes on the related marketing strategies used within in the NWSL in an effort to build a framework while also developing recommendations for marketing practitioners for the promotion and marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States. The historical analysis segment revealed that the failure of the first two professional women’s soccer leagues in the United States were largely a result of poor resource allocation and an inability to connect with and retain fans, the media, and sponsors. The Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) burned through capital at an unsustainable rate and was unable to maintain the excitement of the 1999 Women’s World Cup, leading to microscopic television ratings and perennially falling attendance.
