Our Gold Pride clinched the top of the WPS table this past weekend with a win over Chicago 3-2. The Pride was led my Marta with 2 goals and Rachel Buehler with 1. The Pride will host the WPS Championship game on 26 September.
I've written about this before. This is the Marta effect. Yes she brings her amazing individual talent, but it is what she brings to her teamates that has the greatest impact. Marta is my teamate = CONFIDENCE.
