Conjugating common irregular Spanish verbs whilst attempting to write a somewhat well-researched piece on an episode of The Offseason just about sums me up

Another GREAT chance from Wales, and a solid save from Courtney Brosnan 🥵

Watching the Katie McCabe show aka Ireland - Wales, first half was all Denise O'Sullivan and Courtney Brosnan but this second half Wales is showing UP and they're also ahead thanks to a penalty spotted by VAR

Looks like 2024 will finish with one of the highest totals of USWNT debuts in recent memory. Sentnor is the 11th player so far with one game to go.

Wild trivia fact: The last time more than 10 players got their USWNT debuts in the same calendar year? 2001. (!!)
Ally Sentnor makes her senior #USWNT debut!

The inability of this Scotland side to bed in talented young players in the SWPL, to give opportunities to players outside those at 3 clubs, and to move on from ageing players that are in poor form, is just astounding.

Would maybe help if the SFA funded more than one full time member of staff...

Hanna Bennison and Rosa Kafaji the two goalscorers in Sweden's vital playoff game against Serbia, ensuring Swe take a 2-0 advance with them home for the second leg

Feels very promising that the youth is stepping forward in big moments -- both of these players made big European moves in the summer

Rosa Kafaji: 12 senior appearances for Sweden, 2 goals.

Scored against Serbia only 8 minutes after being subbed on.

Immediate impact player ⚽️💥🥵

The Palestinian women’s national team just beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their opening match of the WAFF U20 tournament.

There is a story of resistance behind every single one of these players. Honour.

Great stuff from @meghannburke.bsky.social on the other app.

The targeting of Barbra Banda is especially cruel.

Then the other Spues team whipped up a 4-0 thrashing of Man City 🥵 I rarely get emotional over the boys anymore but this result had me standing up screaming and waving a wee fist - this goal especially holy f
The pass from Sonny 🪡
The chip from Madders 🍟

A beautiful goal to double our lead at Man City 😍

Saturday was great because Summanen unleashed this absolute banger to win us the game
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS GOAL! SIMPLY STUNNING FROM EVELIINA SUMMANEN 😱

And it's all on youtube too!
Very interested to see these Championship / WSL match-ups

Will Liverpool bite with a vengeance this week after losing the Merseyside Derby?

London City Lionesses have a great chance to prove where they’re at vs West Ham

Crystal Palace can show Charlton how much they’ve stepped up this season 🦁

Between now and the start of 2025, there are just 6 days in which there isn’t a game being played in one of the Premier League, EFL, Champions League, Europa League or League Cup.

Some photos of the beautiful tifo organised by Oman fans of the Palestinian flag before they faced the Palestine national team in the final round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Sportsmanship at its best.

17-year-old academy product Lola Brown, who earlier in the week signed her first professional contract, got her debut for the senior side tonight ✨🏟️

Sonia Bompastor's dad was chatting in the press room and she had to tell him to 'shh' so we could start. Asked how he would assess tonight, Bompastor said: "He will say ‘it’s OK but you need to keep going’. He always looks at the small details which is maybe why I’m the same!" #cfc

Chelsea is on one right now. Terrifying squad brimming with talent AND a brilliant, funny manager
Through to the Champions League knockout stage with two games to spare.

Top of the Women’s Super League with a game in hand.

And eleven consecutive wins recorded.

Some team.
