Good day for bicycling.
Jawohl. Better day for futbol.
Happy to have inspired you.
You did good.
Just hope I don't get AIDS from all the gayness.
That’s paranoid.
What can I do?
There was WPS league before...Women’s Professional Soccer...
That league had a team in Los Angeles...It was called Los Angeles Sol...It was a good team...Team had many good players, both US and foreign...
LA Sol went to the championship game...It lost...
The team played in Carson, CA...There is a stadium near California State University, Dominguez Hills...I have attended some games back then...
LA Sol disbanded after one season...The team owners lost too much money...
Good luck to Angel City FC...I hope that it lasts more than one season...
