AFR Exclusive: The Two Greatest Female Footballers Face-Off (Marta v. Kelly Smith) Plus Alex Scott Interview

By Eric & Jordan Beard

We were lucky enough to take in a wonderful Women’s Premier Soccer (WPS) match at the historic Harvard University stadium Friday night between the Boston Breakers and FC Gold Pride. Now this was personally our first WPS match we’ve attended, but there was quite a bit of hype surrounding it because it was billed as a match between “The Two Best Players in the World.” These players, of course, are FIFA’s four-time World Player of the Year, Marta, and England international Kelly Smith. We took quite a bit of footage of the atmosphere surrounding the game, footage of the game itself, and footage of player reactions after the game. We were also grateful to chat with Breakers defender, England International, and former Arsenal Ladies player Alex Scott. Alex was great, talking to us about the game, about the hype leading up to it, and “The Marta Show”. Overall, we were very impressed with our first WPS game, after all, the final score of the game was Marta 2, Kelly Smith 1.

We would love to know what you guys think of the video we made documenting the match.
