It was announced on Monday that the Women’s Professional Soccer league would suspend its 2012 season due to a legal battle with the former owner of magicJack, Dan Borislow. The Board of Governors said it hopes to bring the league back in 2013. After struggling for three seasons it seems unlikely that the league will be successful following a season-long hiatus.

On May 22nd in Cleveland, Ohio with a 4-0 shutout of 2-time defending Women’s World Cup Champions Germany, the U.S. Women’s National team made a statement: they are once again the best team in the world.
The U.S. had two goals in each half, and an amazing game from goalkeeper Hope Solo helped cap the shutout. Goals were scored by Heather O’Reilly, Kristine Lilly, and the always reliable Abby Wambach (2 goals) which moves her into the 3rd position on the U.S. all-time scoring leaders list.
