Good Read and it is a shame the Women's Basketball team doesn't get the coverage it deserves. Women's Soccer gets more coverage and soccer is not as popular in the US as basketball is.

But soccer (men or women's) doesn't get the coverage it deserves either.

Just in the U.S.

I dunno. ESPN just spent a month of airtime and promotion on the European Championships. I get 2 cable channels devoted to soccer. ESPN had soccer goals on the their daily Top 10 all the time. Soccer gets tons more coverage than it got just a few years ago and it is still growing. And I think women's soccer gets more coverage then they deserve. I don't really follow them yet I can name a handful of players. Twice they started pro leagues that folded quickly so they don't have that big of a following. Major League Lacrosse has been around for years and you never hear of them. Are the Gait brothers still playing?

Like I said, not as much as it deserves.

Maya bought into Geno's philosophy totally. That's why she chose UConn.

She continues to represent herself, her family, her alma mater, her team, her nation, and her sport in a very admirable manner.

US men play soccer?

Speaking of shameful, tried to buy a Taurasi USA jersey yet?

Even the women's BB page on ESPN is pretty shabby. I check it every day a couple times, hoping for good stories and links...not much happening.
