We need a pin explaining what we're about. So, hi!
We're four friends who met through U of Minnesota sports fandom.
Turns out we also have a shared interest in sports outside of the Big 4 (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL), especially sports not common in the US. We think they're great and want to share them.

A year after beating cancer, the one they call the heartbeat of the team, Luana, converts a last-minute penalty to make sure Orlando made it through to the semis. And the opportunity was given by her longtime Brazilian teammate, Marta, who handed her the ball after winning the penalty 💜
