Alright, Canada ROLLED through the first game of the 2012 CONCACAF tournament last night against Haiti. Sinclair was just ok i guess… I mean only 4 goals? Settle down, I’m obviously being an idiot. Well Canada did what they were expected to do, and tonight the US gets their act into gear. A couple of days ago we hit up Shannon Boxx for a little Q&A…

Today we’re pumped to bring you Ali Krieger!! (I think I just giggled like a little girl…)

Keep rockin’ the mascara.

So with the 2012 CONCACAF Women’s Tournament metaphorically right around the corner (unless you consider time literal, but that gets into some really heavy theoretical discussion which is so far from what we’re doing here… so I digress.).   That’s right, qualifying literally kicks off tomorrow (there will actually be a kick off, therefore… you get what i’m saying.), and we just figured why not get into the minds of one of those wonderful ladies and see what makes them tick off the field. It’s fantastic I tell ya!!

Vancouver is welcoming some of the world’s best women to town as the 2012 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying tournament is set to kick off on the 19th.

With that in mind, we thought we’d remember some of the ladies that graced our cameras on the first season of WeLiveSoccer. Of course this is only a sampling!! We’ll be posting more profiles and of course, Soccer’s Hottest as we gear up for our 2nd great season.

In the spirit of the tournament, why not start things off with the one and only Hope Solo!
