Are you looking to meet new people, have fun, and get in shape?
Do you miss playing soccer???
Come join the Korea Pacific Women Strikers, a foreign women's football team. We practice every weekend, and play games when we can get them.
Hope to see you out!

| Haha, usually some sort of kit, though one girl has taken a hankering to wearing a bikini top... |

| Hey, that sounds good! We'll probably need to plan 2-3 weeks in advance so everyone can keep the time free:) |

UEFA chief rapped over remarks on 'lovely girl players'
SHAN ROSS
THE most powerful man in European football was under fire last night after making sexist remarks suggesting the women's game should promote itself by using "lovely looking" players.
Speaking two days before the Euro 2005 women's final, Lennart Johansson, the UEFA president, said: "There are so many companies that could make use of the fact that you can see the girl playing on the ground, sweaty, in the rainy weather, and coming out of the dressing room, lovely looking. That would sell."
UEFA tried to mount a damage-limitation exercise yesterday, saying Johansson was merely trying to suggest women could use their image in a similar way to the Real Madrid and England star David Beckham, but his remarks have caused offence in the game.
They were described as "crass" by the Women's Sports Foundation. Helen Donohoe, the organisation's head of policy, said: "It's astonishing - it really reflects how out of touch the higher echelons of football are.
"I cannot imagine some other president of another sport like swimming or athletics saying something so crass. I've spoken to football fans, blokes - they think he's an idiot."
Sue Smith, the Leeds and England winger, said: "It's quite disappointing that somebody so high up in football has said something like that. For him to have come out with that sort of derogatory comment is, for a female footballer like me, quite hard to take.
"People will be upset because you want people to watch us for football reasons not aesthetic reasons. Yes, sex sells, and people buy things because David Beckham promotes it and he's very good looking, but that is up to the individual and should not be the way the whole of women's football is viewed."
Ironically, Johansson had criticised Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA, football's world governing body, for his comments last year that women footballers should wear tighter shorts.
Mr Blatter followed up his "tighter shorts" comment with another ill-advised remark, saying: "Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball."
At the time, Mr Johansson said: "I think it was meant to be a sort of a joke. It wasn't meant to be something serious because it was taken as though he didn't like ladies football, that he was making jokes about it, and I don't think he will repeat this." |
