Alex Morgan article:
Please see the attached article on a rising star in US women's soccer - Alex Morgan.  Especially notice near the end of the article the part where Pia Sundhage former U.S. Women's National Team coach talks about how the girls improved when they started watching English Premier League and Champions League games on a regular basis.  Something our girls should consider doing also.
