“Things just getting a little bit silly here…

“…it’s getting more than a little bit silly.”

I know this is a serious thing, but that commentary 💀💀💀
In case you missed it!
Ruesha Littlejohn received a red card after things got a bit heated. Judo tossing Hannah Cain to the ground. Already winning by 3 adding a bit of injury to the insult innit?

also, shoutout to yael. she did some serious gm'ing this season. reale and schupansky fit perfectly, then she went and got shaw, whose first ten games with the club included 2g/1a in a playoff run in which she was the difference in wins over kc and orlando.

Scoring the winning goal in the NWSL championship game only gets you so far, unfortunately. 😂

NWSL AWARDS THREAD!

Rookie of the Year Winner: Lilly Reale
xOG pick: Lilly Reale

(Second Gotham fullback to win the award in three years… last time they followed it up with a title)

Amazon looked at him, told the NWSL “this white man painted teal is MONEY,” and it changed him from quirky sideshow to big top circus. And he is, in fact, a clown.
It's just been so frustrating. He was fine until something changed and the team and the league decided to focus on him. Having an agent and getting perks and maybe getting paid, but presenting yourself as the ultimate fan is so opposite of what it should be.

One more game for the NWSL Championship!

The Elo model favors Gotham FC over the Washington Spirit for the title, though it is in the range of a tossup.

The model generally prefers Gotham's xG performance in the last month or so, and they get credit for winning both playoff games on the road.

NWSL Probabilities for the semi-finals and finals ⚽

KC's loss has blown the whole thing open, and Gotham are the favorites following their upset win! Each of the 4 remaining teams have decent odds to win, and there's no runaway top team at this point.

I shouldn’t be surprised, because she’s human, but I really did think Emma Sears was so indefatigable, she could easily go full speed for a solid two hours.
Lots of fatigue showing for both teams. Spirit making iffy decisions, Sears losing footraces.

I also think officially engaging bad faith actors over eligibility in a statement like this means the “protect women’s sports” crowd have successfully controlled the conversation. Everyone’s dancing around the underlying problem, except for Sarah Gorden.

I just don’t know why we are so afraid to call it what it is, racism and transphobia have been no where in anyone’s statement.

Banda’s accolades, while impressive, are not relevant in the face of racist and transphobic attacks. If the league cannot be specific in naming what those "hateful attacks" are, this statement just noise.
A statement from the National Women's Soccer League.

Literally the same thing happened in 2023…
Gotham and falling into the last playoff spot on decision day a match made in purgatory

Started in this league as a player. Now I stand in it as a leader. With that comes the responsibility to champion what makes this league and game special.

P, you’re exactly what makes our space special. Wherever your path takes you, whatever kit you wear, know this: we’ve got your back. 💪

Apropos of nothing, here is a video of Sam Mewis and Lynn Williams for @womensgamemib.bsky.social last year, in which they state that human rights are more important than soccer. Trans people belong.

This is genuinely not a dig, but it feels appropriate that in the Alex Morgan retirement celebration game, the #uswnt is ahead in offsides calls 🫶🏼
