Watched a good chunk of USA Colombia women's fodbol.  Cuties on both sides of the ball.  That left winger for the US, the little high yalla gamin in particular caught my eye.

First female soccer players are probably the hottest group of athletes. 

Second I am 99% sure that gal is an 18 year old freshman at UCLA, fwiw

Third as nice looking as they all are (especially Alex Morgan) there is something about Hope Solo that I just can't quit.  I know she is married to one of the worst human beings around, and that she would have no qualms about beating me to death with a hubcap but I think it might be worth it.

Weird.  I clicked my own link and got a different layout than when I copied and pasted the link.

I'm talking about Mallory Pugh.  Site says she plays for Real Colorada FC United Hotspur.

Yep that's the one.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallory_Pugh

She just turned 18 at the end of April and apparently is going to wait a year before she starts playing at UCLA.

Yeah, that pro/semi-pro US soccer teams seem to have ripped off UK/Euro naming conventions, even when it's absurd, is just silly.

Police reports claim that soccer star Hope Solo's family members had just let her back into their lives when she drunkenly assaulted them early Saturday morning in Kirkland, Wash.

There are even more ironic "Real" teams around, just witness Sierra Leone's Real Republicans FC!
