And also when we look back at the overall journey, it was a hell of a season:

• Challenge Cup win
• Trin, Rose, Casey all with epic result changing goals
• Aubrey playoff heroics once again
• Beating Orlando in Orlando—twice!
• Just watching them persevere

Bring on 2026, come what may until then
A few months ago I made a DMV woso pro best XI, and now I’m revisiting it with college players in the mix and arrived at this (4-2-3-1):

Silkowitz; Foxy, Gabby Robinson, Lo Flo, Ellie Wheeler; Y-Lan Nguyen (Stanford), Andi Sullivan; Nyanya Touray (FSU), Lily Yohannes, Jameese Joseph; Midge Purce

In happier news I saw on IG that Lo Flo and Nyanya Touray have been doing some offseason training here in VA this week, and I wonder if the former fancies a move back home…I know she’s still negotiating with Utah but the Spirit could use some CB depth.

This is basically all the worst parts of the 2020-21 and 2022-23 seasons all rolled into one

Slept on it and thought of a couple more questions I’d put on an NWSL supporters’ survey (s/o to Rachael for the prompt!)

• To you, what is the difference between “fan” and “supporter?”

• Agree/disagree spectrum: “My personal politics/values inform my NWSL supporterdom/fandom.”
• From the outside looking in as a supporter, how do you perceive the culture within your club’s squad/coaching staff? (with 1 being poor and 5 being strong)

• What are some partnerships, corporate or community, would you would like to see your club or the league enter into? (Open-ended ?)

Saw on the NWSL subreddit that Ally Perry, the Mississippi State banger machine, might be Juventus-bound

So the NFC South decider tomorrow comes down to whether the Falcons hate the Panthers more than the Saints do
January 4, 2026 at 12:37 AM
These announcers have just about had it with the referees in this Panthers-Bucs game lol

And the Eagles of Bamako will soar all the way to Tangier! Maybe weren’t the better team in the 120 minutes but they will not care 🦅🇲🇱

January 3, 2026 at 9:55 PM
Methinks that Mali didn’t practice their pens very much
