    Portland Rain? They've been around a while. Timbers recently started some alliance or something with them. I'd rather go to a Pilots match. Good luck to the Rain if the is who you are talking about.

    Soccer-New women's soccer league launched in U.S.

    Nov 21 (Reuters) - A new women's professional soccer league in the United States will begin play in March next year, U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati said on Wednesday.

    The most recent women's league, Women's Professional Soccer, folded in May after three seasons but Gulati said the new structure would aim to be more "sustainable".

    The Canadian and Mexican federations, along with U.S. Soccer, will fund the costs of their national team players featuring in the eight-team league.

    "We are trying to find an economical model that is sustainable," Gulati said.

    "If we see the federations as the government, we are subsidizing the private sector here to try to make this sustainable and the investments by the private sector smaller," he added.

    U.S. Soccer will also finance the administrative office costs of the league.

    The eight teams will be based in Boston, New Jersey, Western New York, Washington D.C, Chicago, Kansas City, Seattle and Portland, said Gulati.

    Rapinoe and Sinclair are more realistic. Wambach will play in New York, and Hope Solo will play in Seattle.

    I'd bring my girls to a few games to see Rapinoe and Sinclair on the same team. Tickets can't be that expensive.

    Weird there are no CA teams, though. That means Alex Morgan is a possibility, too.

    Yeah you're probably right, but Abby did buy a house in Portland.

    It will be interesting to see if there is a market for this.

    I'd be surprised if the new league doesn't do well in Portland.

    I like the logo too, aggressive.
    I hope the TA will show up with new chants and create new scarfs.

    Women's soccer > Men's soccer.

    Because when they flop, sometimes you get a little peek at a sports bra.
