Wielding Sharpies

With the Women’s World Cup Team set and friends, family, former coaches, agents, and many others putting in requests for signed memorabilia, and with the players also wanting some mementos for themselves, the U.S. team conducted a hastily arranged but conscientiously accomplished team signing session before dinner. The players brought whatever they wanted signed to the meal room and spread it out on the floor along the walls. The entire team then went to town signing jersey after poster after autograph card after WWC Handbook after t-shirt and much more. While the ebay total of the memorabilia on in that ballroom would certainly be impressive, don’t expect to be buying that gold Abby Wambach #20 jersey signed by the entire WWC team anytime soon. Although you can get an unsigned one at www.ussoccerstore.com.You’ll just have to ask Abby to sign it after a game…if you can make your way through the screaming kids.
