Lots of upsets today. Ireland scoring at the last minute to knock Hungary out of World Cup playoffs was followed very shortly by NY Gotham knocking Orlando Pride out of the NWSL Championship.
Incredible endings to these matches!

Washington Spirit has hosted more playoff matches at Audi Field this year (two) than D.C. United has since the stadium opened in 2018 (one).

This Spirit/Thorns match is INTENSE! Washington is battering the Thorns GK. I'm honestly surprised they haven't had another one go in and stand!
What a match!

At some point, there needs to be a serious discussion about what happens when Michael Oliver has anything to do with a Liverpool match.
PGMOL can’t keep letting nonsense calls happen without investigating more and removing him from officiating any Liverpool matches.

All clubs should be doing this. Football should be a place for everyone.
This topic is a large part of my dissertation; how are clubs addressing hate directed at the club, at players, or at fans.
Digital hate and cyberbullying are new types of hooliganism, so happy to see that being addressed.

The prospect of a three-year ban is a strong deterrent from Man Utd for fans using discriminatory language, including on social media.
Importantly, there’s also an appeals process, and the club’s #LGBTQ supporters group calls for education.

Finally getting around to decorating my dining room! Some custom art prints I made combined with some fun pieces and the classic Anfield sign.
It’s all coming together! Just a few more pieces (mostly Liverpool, but had to compromise with my roommate a bit).

Football conspiracy theories are so unhinged and ridiculous.
Is there ref bias in the league? Absolutely.
Is any single team is gifted time so they’ll win? No.
The mentality of fans thinking their team has it worst kills me.
Stop blaming other teams and direct your ire where it belongs: PGMOL.

People losing faith in Slot is so silly at this point.
This man is doing a rebuild this season and dealing with a team managing through grief from losing loved ones.
I have no doubt he will find a way through. Let’s take a moment to remember what YNWA means.

Exactly.
Even if it isn’t bias, it’s absolutely poor performance time and time again.

I had my first meeting this semester with my tutor today.
Everything was business as usual… and then we started talking about football. I’d say we spent at least 20 min of the 30 min allotted talking football. 😂
10/10 meeting IMO. ⚽️
Excited my dissertation will keep football front of mind!

Nottingham Forest dumping Nuno for Ange was a mistake.
They were on their way up, and execs handed them an anchor and threw them into the ocean. "Swim harder!"
Ange does his one thing. He's shown himself to be stubborn and lacking adaptability. I might be wrong, but it just seems a poor choice.

This year was going to be tough. We knew this. The loss of Diogo was bound to impact player far into the season.
The new players are also coming into that environment. It’s not as easy as some teambuilding and training.
It’s going to take time… give them some grace and love.
