At 10:34am on October 15, 2009, Atlanta Beat said…: Hey Laura,

Thanks for the post!

Here are some answers to your question:

The WPS has an International Draft so that we can bring the best players from all over the world to play in the best women's league around. The Atlanta Beat has selected several American players through the WPS Expansion Draft, and we will finalize our roster with the 2010 WPS Draft in Jan. In that general draft, we will select from college players, free agents, Americans currently playing overseas, and any other player who has registered with the league by completing an interested player form.

We agree with you that there are quite a few great Americans out there, and we hope to draft some of those talents in the 2010 WPS Draft.

Thanks so much for you post, keem em coming guys!

We love to hear your feedback!

why are we selecting international players when we have good players right here in the us? there are girls who will be finishing college and wanting to play in the wps but all the spots will be taking. how fair is that???????? let the international players stay in their countries playing in their leagues and lets get more us girls into the wps. how about getting more teams for example each state should have a team.

At 9:45am on September 16, 2009, OhioKid18 said…: what does everyone think about the picks....kinda surprised a GK wasnt taken...but i guess the international draft and the WPS draft are times to select those players and trades are available as well...personally i liked philadelphia's picks better than the Beat's, but that isnt up to me

At 7:56am on September 16, 2009, Atlanta Beat said…: So here's who we picked up:
