As an 804 kid...naw man, this one hurts different. R.I.P doesn't seem like enough for D'Angelo. I really don't like this. I hope he gets to see Angie again, at least.

The NFL is doing NWSL parity. Y'all okay? It doesn't get better, but you do get used to it.

Dave Roberts keeps getting away with going to that pitcher. Wild.

Mr. Vino giving you the facts. I love that we could have so many first-time squads.

Cabo Verde becomes the 2nd smallest nation by population to ever qualify for a #WorldCup. They win Group D in African #WCQ and will hear their names called in the World Cup draw on December 5th.

What a time for them. I think that would be an awesome story to tell. The rise of football in Cape Verde.

Southern Sylvs 🍉 she/her @southernsylvs.bsky.social · 1d

No one in Cabo Verde is working the next 48 hours. FIFA doesn't deserve this story, but I'm so damn happy for them.

Pulling for Cape Verde so hard right now.

I'm so glad that awful call didn't keep them from the WC. I know mistakes happen, but that would have been brutal in a different way.

There was one moment yesterday where she was ALL alone on the right, and if anyone had looked up and switched the field, she likely scores. Houston just forgot about her. It was wild.

I don't have what I have without Lu, the Reign, and the OGs who fought like hell to make this league better.

Hats off to an OG. You've been a real one Lu. Thank you.

Seattle Reign FC @reignfc.com · 1d

A cornerstone of our club. A champion. A leader. A Club OG. 💙

Seattle Reign FC captain Lauren Barnes will retire at the end of the 2025 @nwslsoccer.com season, concluding her legendary 13-year career as a league and club original. #ThankYouLu

Oh, Meghan, I'm so sorry. Prayers to you and your family.

So, is this roster drop tomorrow or Wednesday? Should be very calm with no big feelings.

Mariners winning that on less than 48 hours rest is impressive.

I had a pretty good sports weekend. Even the Cougs loss felt like a win. I rarely get these weekends. I'll take it.

I made a noise in real time

And this match has ended with ACFC winning 2-0. They stay alive for another week in the playoff hunt and pass the team they just defeated. I can't remember the last time ACFC had a clean sheet in a victory since Orlando in August 21st. The fans deserved that performance.

After VAR review, no handball. The right call in my opinion.
