looks like Botafogo is getting a three-window transfer ban

they still haven't paid Atlanta United roughly $31 million for Thiago Almada

(fee went up after Almada hit certain incentives and moved to Atleti)

And per FotMob, Chelsea had 1.5 xG.

1.5 xG on 30 shots is ... not great!
Chelsea 1-0 Everton match stats | WSL 2025-26

Chelsea took 30 shots
-6 on target
-9 blocked
-3 hit the woodwork

Chelsea had 53 crosses, 9 accurate.
Everton made 87 clearances, yeah.

And that's how an unbeaten run comes to an end.

*TRIGGER WARNING: eating disorder*

I remember dealing with my first long stint away from playing sports, and how easy it was to fall into disordered eating. I started comparing myself to everyone, I stopped eating, and I told nobody about it.

It's so, so isolating. (1/3)
