One more game for the NWSL Championship!

The Elo model favors Gotham FC over the Washington Spirit for the title, though it is in the range of a tossup.

The model generally prefers Gotham's xG performance in the last month or so, and they get credit for winning both playoff games on the road.

To Alice Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything

You were a hero to Asian Americans, drag queens and people with disabilities around the world. May you do what you wanna do as your chariot carries you over the rainbow.

Thinking about the time Soph Wilson realized part way through the post-match interview that the Thorns were taking a team photo without her

NWSL Probabilities for the semi-finals and finals ⚽

KC's loss has blown the whole thing open, and Gotham are the favorites following their upset win! Each of the 4 remaining teams have decent odds to win, and there's no runaway top team at this point.

I shouldn’t be surprised, because she’s human, but I really did think Emma Sears was so indefatigable, she could easily go full speed for a solid two hours.
Lots of fatigue showing for both teams. Spirit making iffy decisions, Sears losing footraces.

I also think officially engaging bad faith actors over eligibility in a statement like this means the “protect women’s sports” crowd have successfully controlled the conversation. Everyone’s dancing around the underlying problem, except for Sarah Gorden.

I just don’t know why we are so afraid to call it what it is, racism and transphobia have been no where in anyone’s statement.

Banda’s accolades, while impressive, are not relevant in the face of racist and transphobic attacks. If the league cannot be specific in naming what those "hateful attacks" are, this statement just noise.
A statement from the National Women's Soccer League.

Literally the same thing happened in 2023…
Gotham and falling into the last playoff spot on decision day a match made in purgatory

Started in this league as a player. Now I stand in it as a leader. With that comes the responsibility to champion what makes this league and game special.

P, you’re exactly what makes our space special. Wherever your path takes you, whatever kit you wear, know this: we’ve got your back. 💪

Where are @galpalsports.bsky.social?? I came on here specifically to see their exclamation about Rose Lavelle’s uncouth right foot
ROSE WITH THE ONE TOUCH BANGER 😤

Apropos of nothing, here is a video of Sam Mewis and Lynn Williams for @womensgamemib.bsky.social last year, in which they state that human rights are more important than soccer. Trans people belong.

This is genuinely not a dig, but it feels appropriate that in the Alex Morgan retirement celebration game, the #uswnt is ahead in offsides calls 🫶🏼

Gigi is a blessing to Soph Wilson in many ways, including in that she’s probably distracting and/or soothing Soph over Nay and Cat being called besties with no mention of her whatsoever
How well do Chelsea and USWNT besties Cat Macario and Naomi Girma know each other? 👀🔵

Anyone who watched Abby Smith with Gotham in the first 2/3 of the 2023 season knows she can handle chaotic situations like that one earlier lol
