SAN DIEGO — Jill Ellis showed up for lunch wearing a track suit and a warm smile.
The track suit is what she's worn to work for much of her adult life. The smile, however, is new because for the first time in a dozen years a Women's World Cup is approaching and Ellis isn't under pressure to field a team, develop a game plan, fret over injuries or break down opponents.
And the tournament looks a lot different from that perspective.
