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.

So much in the world sucks right now, but today is my daughter’s 6th birthday AND there’s a new episode of Diaspora United so I hope today, at the very least, won’t be too bad.

🤦‍♀️ Glad you pointed this out now and happy I didn’t sign my son up to guest play a game in Foster City at 11:30am prior to driving down to Paypal for the 2pm kickoff.

Go to Eggflip for breakfast. I went there in June 2024 and I still think about it.

I noticed Bay FC had Oshoala t-shirts in their sale section this morning. I figured something like this was coming, but didn’t expect the news today.

Check out the excellent article by @jennatonelli.bsky.social on this subject. The players asked for this game and lots of precautions were taken. www.si.com/soccer/how-b...

I was fortunately to visit Wrigley as visiting Bay fan last season and am so excited to go to Oracle this weekend (with my 11yo son) to see another game with so many Bay Area soccer fans! Great article, Jenna.

A friend of mine was in a bar in SF the other night and lamented it was the time of the year when only the MLB was on. I remarked that they could be showing the Valks, so she got them to change it, but by that time the game was over. Know what they put on next? Antiques Roadshow. 🤪

I want the league to stay at 16 teams for a good while. The newer teams, by in large, feel so much better resourced than some older teams, and I want to see that fixed first before we add more teams.

Katie Innes @sfkatya.bsky.social · Jul 22

I feel like the @washingtonspirit.com needs to do something with this name overlap.
