My favorites of womens soccer

Hello! Today I figured that I would let everyone know who I support in the world of womens soccer! What teams and players are my favorite and all that, so let us begin!
Favorite teams:
For International teams, my favorite team is the USWNT!

Along with the USA, I also support the national teams for, Australia, Germany, and Canada

Ill be rootin for these teams during the Womens world cup in Germany 2011!

As for my favorite club or domestic team, I love and support the Washington Freedom!

 The Freedom is an awesome team, and its a shame that we lost in the playoffs this year! Well get em next year!!
Now to move on to my....
Favorite Players!
Well I have quite a few, so I'll only mention some here, lets start off with my top favorite:

USWNT and Washington Freedom Defender #4 Cat Whitehill!!!
Cat is an awesome player! Shes a great defender and has a great long range kick! Her kicks are always accurate and are usually put right in front of goal so one of her teammates can head the ball home! Go Cat!

My #2 Favorite will have to be

USWNT and Washington Freedom Forward #20 Abby Wambach!!
Abby, in my opinion is the best forward in the world, yes. I picked her over Marta! I truly believe that Abby is a better player than Marta, sure she dosent have all that "Brazilian Flare" but she scores loooots of goals and is a great team player! She isn't a ball hog, and passes often, which is why she has lots of assists! And some of her goals are just insane, not to mention her headers and diving headers which are always great! Her height sure helps her in that department! I think that Abby will lead team USA to a win in the 2011 World cup!! Go Abby!

And my #3 Favorite player, and last one for this post is....

Canada WNT and FC Gold Pride Forward #12 Christine Sinclair!!
Christine is another great forward that I like! Shes like Wambach as she scores awesome goals, but she also passes and has lots of assists! She is often overshadowed by the great Marta on FC Gold Pride yet she still did amazing and led WPS in assists with 9 on the year, so hopefully the upcoming world cup will be her time to shine on a world stage! Go Christine!
Some of my other favorites are, 

Tiffany Weimer ^

Rebecca Moros ^

Megan Rapinoe ^

Amy LePeilbet ^

Thank you very much for reading! And be sure to catch the USWNT take on China PR tomorrow on ESPN 2! Who is your favorite player and whats your favorite womens soccer team?

Vietnam War: M1 Helmet

Hello! I haven't posted in a little while and I got some cool stuff since then, Ill save all the new stuff for another post, but if you want to check it out, I update my Youtube Account often. For today Ill give you a close up look at my M1 Helmet!

This helmet has the Mitchell Camo cover on it right now, A Helmet band for putting things on your helmet, Like the bottle of good ol' bug juice I got on there to keep the skeeters away! Heres a look on what the inside of the helmet is like:

This is the Helmet liner, a separate part from the Steel Pot of the helmet, I have the liner, a sweatband and a chinstrap on my helmet, I have pretty much all the things you can get for the M1 except for the nape strap which wasn't really on every helmet anyway. This helmet is really heavy and gives you a stiff neck if you wear it for more than 10 minutes!

And of course the bug juice! This is an original bottle from December 1966, the stuff smells... Thats all I have to say about that!
So thats all for my helmet really, Its Vietnam Era and looks awesome with the camo cover on it! Thank you for reading and dont forget to check back for more Vietnam War items,  and Womens soccer Autographs, Stories and cards! Thank you for reading!

Hope Solo's Twitter , She be hating!

Well these were all said after the Beat's 1-0 loss to Washington,
"Its official, the refs are straight bad. Its clear the league wanted dc in
playoffs. I have truly never seen anything like this. Its sad"
"A goal taken away with no explanation, one offsides call against dc, many against atlanta. An amazing all ball tackle for a red"
"We play with 10, DC with 12. Players punched in the face. Free corners. I am done playing in a league where the game is no longer In control of the players."
"The head ref calls it a goal!!!! It even goes up on the scoreboard!!! Than no explanation! Its a joke!!!! An absolute joke!"

That was said the night of the game, these comments were then said the next day around noon:
"Nice spin on the game report brunson. The little old 7th place team from
atlanta ran the show last night. was your head dizzy watching"
"Us ping the ball around the field?I'm proud of us ATL,we are beginning to
show this league how the game should be played-beautifully."
"Multiple choice question...why did the refs call back our goal? Is it... A. Free kick taken before the whistle
B. Indirect not direct"
"C. Offsides D. Foul on unknown player
Those are all the reasons we heard, so I think E is the only one that really makes sense..."
"E. We just want washington to win regardless"

And thats all. Wow Solo, really? shes just LOOKING for trouble, I am a fan of her and I think shes an excellent GK but whats all this crap about? I mean the ATL Beat had nothing to play for, they didnt even play THAT good! So Stop tootin your own horn Hope, and look, Officals in Mens soccer, Internationals, anytything! They all mess up! Not just WPS so wake up Hope. Wake up.

Also Cat Whitehill went on to say this on her twitter:
"@hopesolo your bitterness isn't good for the game or your team"
Well put Cat! Excellent! So I mean hopefully Solo will see this and notice that her own damn USWNT teammate even told her to stop, so please, stop hurting the league and stop complaining!
