The Brazilian outlet you are linking to, radiometropole.com.br, mentions R$ 2,27 M and refers to Globoesporte as source. Globoesporte (http://m.globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/futebol-internacional/noticia/2012/02/marta-acerta-com-equipe-da-suecia.html) mentions € 1M and refers to "Swedish press". Swedish press has, in connection with Marta's signing yesterday, only mentioned SEK 1M (abt $ 150K). It has been mentioned as a possible sign-on bonus and it has been mentioned as the sum Tyresö's 40 local small business sponsors contributed with. I know it's tempting to go for the highest number you can find, but in this case it inflates pretty quick when you start poking at it.

]]> Comment on Alex Morgan, bodypaint, the SI Swimsuit Issue and your thoughts by J http://equalizersoccer.com/2012/02/11/alex-morgan-bodypaint-the-si-swimsuit-issue-and-your-thoughts/#comment-2574 J Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:46:32 +0000 http://equalizersoccer.com/?p=3190#comment-2574 her choice may go against the US Soccer's "RESPECT" campaign Although its her choice.. but let's not forget who are the majority of Morgan's fans? They are younger girls(3rd Grade to Jr High) One thing that has bothered me is once her pic debuted... many guys were making sexually vulgar comments and the proposals are not cute.. IT IS CREEPY!! She has a boyfriend(Servando Carrasco) who plays for the Seattle Sounders and THERE'S NO WAY they will break up... they have been dating since their college years. Because of their close relationship, there's a high chance he will propose sooner or later.. she'll say yes, they'll tie the knot and all the creeps will disband. I have nothing against Alex Morgan and i admire her and respect her... she's a great soccer star and role model... she shouldn't be treated like a piece of meat and I hope she marries her BF and accepts her new last name in the future.... her choice may go against the US Soccer’s “RESPECT” campaign

Alex Morgan was right. This takes a lot of courage to write about your struggles. I admire your will to continue and look outside of yourself to help your relationship within. To be faced with these challenges when you are still young enough to push through them will only make you a better player, teammate, and overall a better person. I'm 38 and I love watching women play the sport I played for 11 years before life and injuries sidelined me. You are hope for those young and old! BTW Starbucks has AWESOME discounts but I bet I'll see you back on the pitch first! Thank you very very much for your blog. Alex Morgan was right.
