It’s finally here.
The 2010 W-League schedule has officially been announced and the Tony Danza Army is in for a big 2010. The undefeated, back-to-back champion Pali Blues now know their road to a historic three-peat, buoyed by the psychotic fan support of the TDA faithful. Without further adieu, here’s the program for 2010:
JUNE 5: The season opener. This is a “statement game” for the Blues and the Tony Danza Army We’ll be raising the championship banner and welcoming our new cross-town rival into the league, the Santa Clarita Blue Heat. Undefeated champions versus expansion team…this is gonna be a fun one with a lot of goals.
JUNE 17: The Blues get a real test with the Seattle Sounders coming to town. TDA members will remember these guys from the regular season finale last year, as Pali eliminated the poor girls from playoff contention. They’ll be looking for revenge and we’ll be looking to rub a little more salt into the wound.
JUNE 19: I hate to miss this one, since it has patriotism written all over it. Vancouver brings their Canuckistan women to town in an epic USA vs. Canada encounter. National pride is on the line and good taste is nowhere to be found.
JULY 1: Maybe the highlight of the season. The Colrado Force is back, including coach Craig Deacon. TDA and Pali diehards will remember the famous playoff victory of 2009, when an inspired Blues team dramatically clawed back into the game and emphatically defeated the Force, 5-2. Pali went on to win the league title, management proclaimed it the best home game ever, and Craig returned home with broken dreams.
JULY 5 (ROAD TRIP): It’s a bonus game and a W-League first! The front office has graciously proposed to bus TDA members to Santa Clarita for this all-important rivalry game. The Tony Danza Army has made Pali High a fortress for the Blues, but it’s now time to take over an opposing team’s venue.
JULY 17: Pali hosts the Rush in the regular season finale. This team is probably our closest competition and the game might decide who wins the Western Conference. It’s time to roll deep, boys.
