It's honestly pretty cool that pro soccer is a viable enough option for a good player to leave peonage ball early to turn pro.

Here's a rundown on the NWSL draft.

Sanchez had no real choice, from what I heard. Her grades were bad enough that she was in danger of losing her academic eligibility so going pro was prob the only way for her to keep playing.

Nah, Smith went pro because Portland put itself in the position to draft her. From what I've heard, she would've stayed in school if Portland hadn't been able to secure the #1 pick.

Milan were down 2-0 at 50 minutes this morning and scored 3 goals in 20 minutes, including an 89th minute winner to take a comeback win over Roma at home. Juve are (of course) way ahead of everyone else but 2-3-4 in the league are only 5 points apart and Milan have a game in hand.

Liverpool Ladies somehow won a game against Bristol City with recent acquisition Rachel Furness scoring the loan goal.

Despite not being able to score at all, Liverpool's defense has been decent, so I think everyone is hoping that somehow they can pick up enough points to ultimately beat Bristol City on goal difference.

Hopefully Liverpool can ultimately get better management and more investment into the women's side in the long term.

Milan won the derby today, comeback win from 1-0 down to win 2-1. Berglind Thorvaldsdottir has 4 goals in 4 matches; she seems like a great signing. Next weekend is the big match vs Fiorentina, who Milan are tied for second with.

Liverpool FC Women got their match against Birmingham postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Their match against Manchester United got postponed for the same reasons too. This is ridiculous.

I don't know why Chelsea's manager had to apologize for her comments on the pitch Liverpool use. It's horrible.

Of the attacking players that are no longer players, Purce is the only one that really contributed on a regular basis. Foord & Crnogorcevic never really figured out how to put the ball in the net. Though, it sounds like Raso is off to Everton so that'll sting a bit.

Surprisingly no! There were big rumors among NWSL media a few weeks ago that Horan was trying to get a trade out because she was pissed at Parsons or some poo poo.

And as they look like in pretty much any game against decent opposition, Canada is playing like a team that has no loving clue what to do if Christine Sinclair isn't playing really well.

She's old and lumbering but they're pretty clueless. Garbage even. French are not all that either, I suppose it's typical for mid winter.

So the USWNT's equal pay fight vs. the USSF sure got uglier and right now I'm listening to Julie Foudy try really really really really hard not to swear up a storm at Carlos Cordeiro over "whoops, our bad" apology.

On the plus side, this goal happened earlier. It was nice.

This seems rather hasty and ill-advised, but I can imagine NWSL is feeling some financial pressure to get some sort of product out there.
