First piece of 2025…looks back at 2024

Who contributed what to the downfall of a team built for prolonged success

let’s play the blame game: part 1 — dale wavé
The 2024 San Diego Wavé might have had the most “peaked too early” season a sport has ever seen. It kicked off with an 88th minute cup-clinching goal from the legend herself, Alex Morgan. It ended wit...

bummed about Chiamaka being gone, she looked solid in that game vs KC but being free from Robbe minutes is huge. The Sevens tourney kinda showed what Stoney and Jonas see at practice from her but it did not translate in games

As bummed as I am to be missing host city festivities Chicago was absolutely correct in not taking this deal
US host cities facing at least $250m shortfall due to new Fifa deal

Fifa take virtually all WC revenue, and costs supposed to be covered by sponsors

But cities can’t do big deals as, eg, convenience store Wawa cuts across Fifa deal with McDonald’s

San Diego Wave FC defeats Liga MX champs Tigres 3-0 in the final to win the Fort Lauderdale edition of World Sevens, and win $2M — over half the year's #NWSL salary cap for three days of work. The Wave won all five games played this weekend.
Unrelated but ironic to current NWSL events: San Diego Wave's 7v7 World Sevens team is one of four remaining in the hunt today for a $2M prize for the winner of the three-day tournament.

#NWSL's team salary cap for the whole 2025 season was $3.5M.

Tigres cayó ante San Diego Wave y se quedó con el segundo lugar del World Sevens Football 🐯🐯🐯

calling Gotham a playoff dark horse is absurd considering they signed like 3 of the best available free agents after winning a championship AND recently added Jaedyn Shaw cmon man.
The Spirit now await the winner of Sunday’s semifinal between the reigning champions, the Orlando Pride, or this year’s playoff dark horse, No. 8 Gotham FC.

This was always coming and the league’s inaction shows a pattern of lack of concern and care for athletes’ wellbeing.
