Successful teams aren’t necessarily about star talent, but more often depend on “Glue” employees—the quiet leaders who make everybody else look good and rarely get rewarded for their contributions.

2023 is never going to make sense. It’s an exercise in surrender. Fortunately for us older USWNT supporters, we had 2001-2007 to practice that skill. Can’t make sense of it. Can’t even try.

Hayes' first-cap total is 27 players in 29 games (since June 2024). This would not be possible without growth of the NWSL.
1st caps by coach (most recent):
Kilgore 6 (2023-24)
Andonovski 18 (2019-23)
Ellis 30 (2014-19)

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

I finally tracked down a pair of datasets and put them together. This is Deloitte’s 2025 valuation of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, and Forbes’s 2025 valuation of NWSL.
Kansas City Current’s estimated annual revenue is bigger than Barcelona & Chelsea combined.
