Nothing with 4 stars is a USMNT kit… and the teams had a different home kit from each other in 2025… but maybe Waldo is back (or it’s a Heart of Pines partnership? 😅)
Are red/white stripes back for the #USMNT for the World Cup??

Footy Headlines have just posted this supposed U.S. World Cup kit for this summer!

🤨 that’s a lot…
Definitely more interesting than what they’ve been doing www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Liv Smith, Debinha, Kim Little, and Phallon still wouldn’t qualify
ESPN's list of top players of 2025, published today, completes the criteria that will determine who counts as an NWSL “High Impact Player” come June 1. Michelle Agyemang, Vicky López, & Aggie Beever-Jones are in the top 40, making them HIP-eligible. Our story has been updated with their additions.
Who is eligible for the NWSL’s new “High Impact Player” rule money? A lot of Europeans, it turns out. @abigailsegel.bsky.social dug into the newly announced criteria to determine who exactly qualifies for the contentious new roster designation—and who doesn’t: equalizersoccer.com/2025/12/23/w...

BREAKING: The Kansas City Current are finalizing a deal to hire Chris Armas as head coach, sources tell ESPN. Armas most recently coached MLS' Colorado Rapids. KC Current won the #NWSL Shield in 2025.

Sources: Current to hire Armas as new head coach
The Kansas City Current have agreed to terms to hire Chris Armas as the team's new head coach, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

Given the time period covered, Sam Kerr for example does not meet the criteria to qualify for a HIP contract despite being the second all time leading scorer in the league
....this is the NWSL's proposed criteria for who can access an extra $1m in off-cap salary.

The idea of not allowing someone to earn extra money because they do not fall into these categories but someone wants to pay them, is perplexing.

This is truly an atrocious proposal by the NWSL
I don’t know how to say this except to say it:

I’m a Guardian top 100 voter and have been invited in the past to vote in ESPN FC’s ranking.

There’s no reason why that, or certainly any “most marketable” ranking that’s even more subjective, should determine if a #NWSL player gets a big salary.

What like you can’t win games with 8 players? 🥲🙃🙃
NWSL Roster Counts (12/22)

25 - KC*
24 - CHI, GFC, POR, SEA, WSH*
23 - ORL
21 - BAY, NC
20 - AC, HOU, URFC
18 - LOU
16 - SD
15 - BOS
8 - DEN

* = has not released official offseason roster

Obligatory, "what is Denver doing?" skeet.

Pay for the privilege of overpriced sponsor drinks and hot dogs…
FIFA World Cup fan fests have always been free, but not for 2026. Yet another way this World Cup is set up to exploit football fans.

The confused look of all these blokes in Liverpool who have no idea why so many people are wearing Arsenal gear 😅

This feels a whole lot like how 2019 allocation money started… time is a flat circle etc etc
December 12, 2025 at 10:44 AM
This feels like how allocation money started… players had to meet certain criteria (be on league Best XI or monthly award lists and things). Imagine the strictness similarly starts to vary and fade over time. If this is the fastest path to a solution, I get it for now
NEWS: The #NWSL board is voting on a proposal that would allow teams to pay top players beyond the current salary cap but with limits, w/the hope that it's a solution for Trinity Rodman and other stars. Proposal still needs to pass. Details (so far) on @espn.com 👇
Sources: NWSL voting on extra funds to pay stars
The NWSL's Board of Governors is in advanced discussions about implementing a new roster mechanism that would allow each team to pay star players significant salaries beyond the current salary cap, mu...

Sorta the opposite of the Iron Woman signings… hope her luck can turn around here

Well not to denver then
Racing Louisville FC and defender Lauren Milliet, the club's all-time appearances leader, have agreed to a new contract.

Milliet, who was set to enter free agency after the 2026 season, signed through 2027 with an option for 2028. Her new deal also includes updated terms.
