Soccer fan and 6″ 6′ basketball player Kobe Bryant and diminutive Brazilian soccer star Marta (5′ 4″) meet Thursday at Carson’s Home Depot Center as the Lakers (part-owned by AEG) star introduces the (part-owned by AEG) Sol of Women’s Professional Soccer.

Also:
*Amway Global was unveiled as the Sol jersey sponsor today and will apparently sponsor something called “Marta’s Maniacs in Amway Global Corner” in section 119. Look for the Riot Squad to take that over, I’ll wager.

*Sol Fest, which includes an open practice by the team, music, games
and locker room tours, runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m Sunday. And not so coincidentally you can buy season tickets and pick out your seat. Individual game seats are also going on sale.

*Opening day of the season is March 29 against Abby Wambach and the Washington Freedom.
