Paul, in his Aston Martin gilet, 10 years from retirement, living in one of the most expensive houses in one of the best places in Britain, with savings and investments worth £2-4mil (excluding anything he has in tax-free ISAs), who has earned enough in his lifetime to pay “millions in taxes”…

and she stayed true to her word

How many free headers are you going to let 5'5 Mina Tanaka have

Anyway, it’s been five weeks and back is still fucked

wait, it's NOT?!

It was all the long-term issues around the midfield with both Mewis + Ertz out that really told in games where they couldn't just steamroll the oppostion though, Swanson's goals before her injury against Ireland papered over the foundational cracks (imo at least).
But, that was then and this is now

It’s a shame that the Vlatko years were also the Markgraf ones, it felt (from this side of the Atlantic at least) that both could have been good, rather than a “let’s never speak of it again” spell.

If Hayes did have a GM above her, she’d be kicking down their door everyday anyway.

Ah, wrong PA 🤦

Don’t forget “CBA that eliminated contracts which limited callups & no longer required USWNT players to stay in NWSL”

Hayes has more freedom than any USWNT coach since April Heinrichs more than 20 years ago, when USWNT CBA was in its infancy.

And thank god for u23 camps, etc.

NWSLPA 🙌

It’s a lack of consistency but a lack of consistency of style too, and not in a “hmm, this isn’t working, let’s try Plan B” way, self-attritional and maddening that other teams punked themselves last season to clear the runway for another title

No one:

Not a soul in the universe:

Walsh at any given time:

Pere 😑 also Barca of the no depth

Lyon-Barca final in Torino was so rough
