The Common Link Between MARTA and Marta

Published by Dave at 2:26 pm under American Football, Ancient Football, Association Football, General Football Talk, Rugby Football

At first glance, Michael Turner’s new nickname might have far more to do with certain forms of public transportation than Brazilian women’s football. Perhaps John Abraham is on to something here, though. After all, both Marta and MARTA are top talents who, on their best days, can become pure forces of nature. One cutback, and Turner is off. One sidestep, and Marta is pushing forward. Both leave defenders in their wake as they add another score to their stats and lead their teams to victory.

Some days, though, these forces of nature run into people with the rare ability and determination to control the weather…

Yes, it actually was proven in Beijing that you can prevent a downpour. It was proven in Charlotte, too. Ha.

    I never thought I’d see the day when Marta was a punishing running back and H. Solo was a sexy female goalie. It’s like the world of my childhood has been turned completely upside down.

    At least we can be fairly certain of Hope’s status vis-a-vis shooting first, or at all for that matter.

    I don’t get why anyone felt the need to shackle Michael “THE BURNER” Turner with such an awful nickname. Can’t we leave well enough alone. Bottom line is that the guy is a baller and has that team rolling.
