🥲 you all should’ve stayed in NY one more day! (Or Jay should’ve stayed through the Knicks opener…)

Is there a way for Janine Beckie and Janine Sonis to be merged? 😅

I’m hoping it’s more divvying up group stage games and maybe first knockout? Flying back and forth between NZ and Australia sucked big time especially with the FIFA scheduling so I hope they’re smarter (they probably aren’t 🙃)

I hope it’s the equivalent of an international break and nothing more but can’t recall seeing her cry like that in the past

Well that’s probably Emily Fox scratched from the USWNT camp… hopefully not too severe beyond that but FFS HATEEEE

So nice of UWCL to be picked up by Paramount+… so I can see twice as many ED related commercials than I’d see with just NWSL rights

Or they rest the second game and play the third? But yea it’s interesting when different confederations have different international allowances. Players landing back in Europe on Thursday and playing Saturday isn’t great (and the flight options out of KC aren’t direct)

Phase 1 men’s World Cup “presale”. They’ve been doing a rolling lottery group each day for the last couple of weeks and now it’s coming to a close before they start Phase 2

Curious if the Europeans stick around for all 3 games… The UEFA window is only 2 games so I’m curious if they all fly from CT/ NY back but then that’s a smaller squad for the 3rd game (I know the UEFA window doesn’t apply to them but it’s a lot to ask)

And the USWNT is undefeated in Colorado (10 wins, 1 draw) 👀

OptaJack @optajack.optajoe.com · 7d

88.9% - The #USMNT has won 8 of the 9 matches (88.9%) its played in Colorado, its highest winning percentage in any state in which its played five or more times. Peak.

Dynamic pricing is the choice of the seller so USSF is full of bullshit on that one… and the $95 they charged for USWNT in denver for supporters was not secondary market, that was also USSF’s choice

Jeff Kassouf @jeffkassouf.bsky.social · 7d

Ever wonder how #USWNT + #USMNT:

⚽️ Schedules opponents for friendlies?
🏟️ Picks cities/stadiums for games?
🎟️ Sets ticket prices?

Here's how, including real examples of why Germany came to East Hartford, and the game that won't happen next month in Seattle — because everything is interdependent.

Inside how U.S. Soccer chooses opponents, venues, prices for USMNT and USWNT matches

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.
