From Fair Game:

New York Four Fit

Four English based players are keeping themselves in shape this summer
by playing for the New York Magic, reports TheFA.com.

Emma Thomas (Fulham), Katherine McKenna (Watford),
Laura Bassett and Birmingham City team-mate Ellen Maggs,
have all travelled west to play in the W-League.

McKenna has so far played five games, Bassett and Maggs have played in four games
and Emma Thomas has featured in three game to-date,
with Bassett and McKenna both having opened their goalscoring accounts.

In their latest game yesterday, the Magic lost 3-0 to the New Jersey Wildcats.
Swiss international Laura Dickenmann contributed a goal and an assist
at Mazzella Field on the campus of Iona College.

After The Wildcats had gone 2-0 up,
Yamaguchi got taken down from behind in the box by Laura Bassett,
and Formiga stepped up to convert the penalty.

To cap a bad afternoon for the English quartet,
Emma Thomas received her marching orders in the 75th minute for spitting

The team will be next in action on 28 June.

Not a very good advert for English players!

Nope. But I've got to say English footballers have a Bad Girls reputation abroad

I hope she wasn't spitting at anyone though

tut tut tut she must have been spitting at or towards someone because i think your allowed to spit as long as it is not intended to hit anyone!


funny though!
