No further updates from Spirit Coach Adrián González in the postgame presser on Trinity Rodman's injury. She will have scans tomorrow. #NWSL

Trinity Rodman was not putting any weight on her right leg as she was helped off the field by Spirit trainers following an attempt at a tackle during this Concacaf W Champions Cup game against Monterrey. Worrying scenes.

“It’s hard to find the words to say goodbye to a sport that has defined my life for over three decades. Football has given me everything, and I will miss being on the pitch so very much. Thank you to my family, friends, teammates, coaches, and community for this beautiful ride.” -CP

Chesky is really trying to keep this from being an NWSL After Dark match with two yellows given out in a span of 72 seconds before we even hit the halfway mark of the first half

Is it just me or is this match like rock 'em sock 'em robots meets a slip’n’slide but also with a ball?

Taylor Vincent @tayvincent6.bsky.social · 4d

Ooh yes. Another ad that’s too long

(This is why I watch it muted)

Taylor Vincent @tayvincent6.bsky.social · 4d

Apparently, it would be ‘crazy’ to end an ad early when the game continues
