http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-weight-of-history-great-britain.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Monday, July 30, 2012. The Weight of History: Great Britain and Brazil play at Wembley. According to the FIFA preview for this event, Team GB's game against Brazil will be the first women's football match ever played at Wembley.*. Was perhaps even worse than that created recently by Solo. There was talk of Powell's retirement from the England team.). And she won't take anything less than that level of determination from her squad. It was easy to root for them wh...

From A Left Wing: Are the Doncaster Belles being punished for their history? Or for the history of women's football?
http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2013/06/are-doncaster-belles-being-punished-for.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Friday, June 14, 2013. Are the Doncaster Belles being punished for their history? Or for the history of women's football? Moira Lovell, "John and Precious" from Stand Your Ground. Doncaster Rover Belles players and their coach. That's the pall that the English FA is casting over the women's game it claims to want to develop. The FA believes that Man City is a better product than the Doncaster Belles, and that fans are satisfied with the fact that. The Doncaster ...

From A Left Wing: The Vulnerable Spectacle: Notes on the Bombing of a Marathon
http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-vulnerable-spectacle-notes-on.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. The Vulnerable Spectacle: Notes on the Bombing of a Marathon. The bombing at the Boston Marathon - what is there to say about such a thing? Already, barely a day into the story the story is on repeat. Terror, heroism, terror, heroism. How many are dead? Wounds and more wounds. Women and children. Look out for a dark skinned man in a hoodie. It's an awful mix. We can thank poor Richard Jewell. It feels weird to talk about this bombing as ...

From A Left Wing: Greatness Has Been Found: A Close Reading
http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2012/08/greatness-has-been-found-close-reading.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Friday, August 10, 2012. Greatness Has Been Found: A Close Reading. Doing it themselves. USWNT fans at the 2011 World Cup semi-final. Greatness had been found. The suggestion is that in the win, the US 'found' a greatness that was absent from not only the team, but from the tournament. This is embarrassing. I love swagger, I really do. But this isn't swagger. Greatness has been found. In small letters, under the emblem, "United We Stand.". To suggest that this t...

From A Left Wing: Happy Together
http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2012/08/happy-together.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Friday, August 10, 2012. On July 20th, someone tweeting as Pia Sundhage. And I do think it might actually be. Sundhage - wrote the following:. Happy Players have a tendency to make good decisions on the field - together. Something shifted about 18 months ago. The USWNT looked very shaky. They barely. It Last summer something broke open. They seemed happy on the field. Joyful. To extend Sundhage's axiom: A great football team advocates for the happiness of its pl...

From A Left Wing: The Runner's Runner
http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-runners-runner.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Thursday, May 9, 2013. I've long wanted to write about Justina Cassavell. My sister has been the cross-country coach at Voorhees High School in New Jersey since the mid 1990s. She is also the head track coach (boys and girls). She announced her resignation yesterday - within minutes it seemed, the story was posted on NJ.com. Under her leadership, the girls cross-country team has been one of the best teams in not just the state, but in the northeast. That's a spe...

From A Left Wing: The Gender of Second
http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-gender-of-second.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Sunday, August 12, 2012. The Gender of Second. Mariya Savinova and Caster Semenya. When Caster Semenya raced from last to second in the final stretch of the women's 800 meters, some wondered is she aimed for silver. She has a turbo drive of a kick - if she'd engaged it sooner she might have taken gold. Maybe. Maybe Semenya was working the same strategy and kicked too late. The 800 is a war of strategy and speed. There isn't time to hide. The Olympic final was a ...

From A Left Wing: Brittney Griner, Jason Collins and the Sex of a Story
http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.com/2013/05/brittney-griner-jason-collins-and-sex.html
From A Left Wing. Soccer, sports polemics. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Brittney Griner, Jason Collins and the Sex of a Story. The (not-homophobic side of the) sports world has invested a lot of magic in the currently-professional-and-playing-out-gay-male-athlete. It's no wonder, given how elusive that athlete has been. Out Orlando Cruz - a boxer - came out. Coming out is huge. Garance Franke-Ruta thus opens her article for The Atlantic. Female professional athletes are already gender non-conforming. Male...
