At TJ Maxx, these ticket prices would be 40% off.

Jackie @jackiedigital.bsky.social · 1d

Boston Legacy season tickets are among the most expensive in the NWSL. While there are other teams that have comparable or more expensive prices (mostly premium seating), Boston tops the list for most expensive supporter group STM.

*Reign & KC prices are from 2025

USMNT and USWNT fans often complain about high ticket prices, repetitive cities and weak opponents for games, but U.S. Soccer explains everything that goes into such decisions.

We have two places finalized in the #NWSL playoff race but spots 3-8 are very much up in the air

Chart showing where each team can finish in the NWSL. KC and WAS have locked down 1 and 2. Orlando can finish 3rd through 8th. Gotham, Reign, San Diego, and Portland can finish between 3rd and 9th. Louisville can finish between 3rd and 11th. North Carolina, LA and Houston still technically can make the playoffs but it'll be a tough road

There are f’ing TV ADS for the SCORE Act?!?

Don’t buy their bullshit. Every single org invested in and working toward equity for and investment in women’s college sports are working to REJECT the SCORE Act.

Pass it on - NO to the SCORE Act.

Expected Own Goals @xowngoals.com · 3d

To give some apples-to-apples comparisons:

- 2.6 points per game, the most ever
- 83% win percentage, the biggest ever
- Lorena has a 64% shutout percentage, the biggest ever

These aren't records being padded by the extra games. They are staggeringly real.

The KC Current win 2-0 over Gotham FC!
- 62 points, the most ever
