The Sky Wasn't Very Blue in Carson, Cali.

Friday marked another loss for the New Jersey Sky Blue fc against the LA Sol. Sky Blue FC now holds a record of 1-3-2

 Sawyers kept the same lineup as their game last week, but Sarah Walsh, who scored the first goal in the game against chicago, happened to fail a very late fitness test and was replaced by Brazilian, Rosana.

 The Sky brought up a weak first half and Jenni Branam went down with an injured finger. She was ohkay and played the rest of the 90.

Aya Miyama of the Sol faked out two defenders in the 10th minute, tried to hit it to the wide bottom right corner, but there was Branam with an excellant diver. The ball wasn't flat yet as Sol still kept it within the lines and passed it through the six. Luckily (for us sbfc fans) no one was there to finish it and the ball was cleared out.

 And at the 80th minute, Marta made a run from a great long pass by Camile Abily. Branam went out and tried to save it but she just couldn't get to it as Marta faked her out and shot the ball. Some people say that the goal was offsides, but officials never raised the flag. After seeing so much controversy on the subject, i believe Marta really was onsides.

One goal against Sky Blue FC was jus the  beginning of their let down. Less than a minute after the goal, US WNT Forward, Natasha Kai, collided with Sol/Canadian Keeper, Karina LeBlanc, and was taken away on the stretcher. The injury is still unknown to fans, but fro ma fan's perspective, it seemed to be very serious. There are no health updates so i'm assuming she's ohkay. The quesiton now is if she will be playing next week.

In the 92 minute, the equalizer was almost at hand when MEgan Shnur had an SOG but missed the poster by 6 inches.

 Over all, I believe the Sky did a very good job on defending and they held off the goal for 80 minutes. Remember they are playing the ranked 1 team in the WPS.

The next game will be next week against Washington Freedom. It will be on matchtracker and i'm assuming twitter.

til next game,
