I only read one blog but it appears quite crerbral so might appeal to the Doloras's of this site (when they're not putting it out to other goalkeepers).
Edit: I only posted it here because NZ has just played China. Not sure where else it logically fits as it is primarily aimed at women's footy.

AUCKLAND � Three Football Ferns have signed agreements for after their FIFA Women�s World Cup campaign in Germany with two bound for professional clubs in Europe and one headed for a top American university on full scholarship.
Kirsty Yallop, who played for Kristianstad before returning to New Zealand to base herself in Auckland for World Cup preparations returns to Sweden with the aim of helping Vittsjo win promotion to the country's top flight, while striker Emma Kete has signed her first professional contract with Lincoln Ladies in the English WSL and Rosie White, who turned 18 last week, joins UCLA.
Kete�s and Yallop�s contracts last until the end of the current European season while White will embark on a four year stint as a Bruin, reviewed at the end of each academic year.
Currently in Switzerland, where the Ferns take on Wales, Colombia and Denmark in preparation for their World Cup campaign less than two weeks away, all three were excited to be able to focus their energy on the World Cup.
�It�s great to have something set in stone instead of having to worry about that as well. It means I can just concentrate on doing what I need to do and the team needs to do to do well in Germany,� said Yallop.
�There are more opportunities happening in women�s football and the better we do as a team the more will come our way as individuals. It�s great to see Football Ferns playing in different leagues all over the world now.�
New professional Kete hoped to find her scoring touch for Lincoln and extend her stay.
�Turning pro is something that I�ve been working towards for five years and to think I�ll be playing in the women�s equivalent of the English Premier League with tough games week in week out is really exciting,� said Kete.
�From what I hear Lincoln have been competing really well but not converting chances so hopefully I can contribute in that department.�
Current professionals in the Football Ferns include captain Rebecca Smith (VfL Wolfsburg, Germany), Ali Riley (Western New York Flash, USA) and Hayley Moorwood (Chelsea, England) while Hannah Bromley (Herfoder SV, Germany) did not make the final squad.
Meanwhile, White also harbours hopes of turning professional but for now was happy to pursue a University education while playing football.
�There are ten new recruits this year and the others have all played at U-17 or U-20 level for the USA so it�s going to be a very high standard,� White said.
�I�m going into the unknown a little bit but I�m sure it will be very good for me.
�Turning professional is a big goal for me. I don�t know where the best place to play will be in four years time but I�ll cross that bridge when I come to it."
New Zealand face Japan, England and Mexico in Group B of the FIFA Women�s World Cup beginning on June 27.

FIFA Women�s World Cup rouses the crowds: 670,000 tickets already sold
With ten days still to go until the opening match at Berlin Olympic Stadium, 670,000 tickets have been sold for the 32-match FIFA Women�s World Cup 2011. The figure, representing 75 percent of the 900,000 tickets available for general sale, was announced on Thursday by Local Organising Committee (LOC) President Steffi Jones at German FA (DFB) headquarters in Frankfurt am Main. At least 10,000 tickets have been sold for 30 of the 32 games and 15 matches have secured a crowd of over 20,000, a good indication of the broad appeal of the first FIFA Women�s World Cup to be held in Germany.
�We�re very upbeat about this tremendous response, which confirms that the Women�s World Cup is proving a hit in Germany. We�re well on course to meet our target of filling the stadiums to 80 per cent of capacity,� commented Jones.
