She hasn’t played a game yet, but Victory’s midfield is really missing Taylor Ray

Shelby McMahon is kinda the real deal huh?

Earning a penalty that would have been goal of the century should be eligible for an award.

This is an opinion I formed just this second
Another look at the incredible Marta run that led to the penalty.

To do this in the 5th minute of stoppage time after playing a full 90 is insane.

That’s Aulicino’s goal, but hate to see a defender swing and completely miss at a ball
November 8, 2025 at 3:20 AM
That’s calm goalkeeping from Sally James

Only 1 sleep to go. 1 is the number of goals Holly Furphy scored against Sydney last season, which is more than Sydney scored against us in 180 minutes of football.

See you at The W Club tomorrow from 4 pm.
