Women's Soccer | Team looks to boost support

David McIntyre | The Beautiful Game
March 2In watching soccer over the years, I have learned to expect the unexpected. Whether it's Liverpool coming back against AC Milan to win the Champions League in 2005, or Birmingham beating Arsenal in the Carling Cup final last Sunday, you can never quite tell what's going to happen next, no matter how unreasonable the outcome might seem. I mean, who would ever think that FIFA would award a World Cup to a country the size of Connecticut with no stadiums built for the event and an average summer temperature of 106 degrees? (I'm still seething about that.)

David McIntyre | The Beautiful Game
February 9Any longtime fan of soccer living in the United States knows that it has not always been easy to follow the beautiful game, particularly if your favorite team was not a major club. (I remember the days when Manchester United's game was always shown on television every weekend, but no other teams ever made it on the schedule.) Fox Soccer Channel (FSC), or Fox Sports World as it was then called, was pretty much the only option for fans of international soccer in the United States. Given that FSC had the production quality of a 20th-century shortwave radio broadcast, the American soccer viewer's world was indeed bleak circa 2005.

Women's Soccer | Smart substitutions help Tufts extend streak
October 11During a soccer game, substitutions are arguably the most important decisions a coach has to make. Tufts head coach Martha Whiting handled this aspect of the game masterfully yesterday, inserting freshman forward Anya Kaufman midway through the first half. Less than two minutes after entering the game, Kaufman scored her first collegiate goal, which was enough for a 1-0 non-conference win over Endicott.
