If you have a moment to listen to this, you won't regret it #BAONPDX

Wonderful words from Rob Gale on the legend, Becky Sauerbrunn.

Especially with Weaver also out. I actually had not heard the news about Morgan yet when I saw the news about Soph. I was like "ok, Weaver will just need to do it for us." 5 mins later I saw the Weaver news and was like "Nooooo!!"

But let's hope. It was just one game after all ( he says in denial).

Excellent piece with cohesive and compelling arguments, on-pitch and off-pitch based arguments, as to why it's long past time for the #USWNT to say goodbye to KA. Here's hoping the She Believes cup will be the last we see of her 🤞

Sounds about right.

There is of course only one correct answer: B) Portland Thorns #BAONPDX 😉

Every year I tell people to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol. And those that do always come back to tell me how awesome it is. And how they now plan to watch it every year. Many comment on how amazing Michael Caine is as Scrooge.

One of the best goals of all time.

Not only will her great skills be missed, not only will her leadership be missed... but so will her great sense of humor.

Jess Fishlock is a bit of a surprise to me. Not that she doesn't deserve to be there. But she doesn't seem to get much hype by the broadcasters and media. So I didn't think she was a fan favorite. Glad to be proven wrong. I wish Morgan Weaver had made the list. Curious where she falls.

So far, every dev & data scientist I've gotten to try #Kotlin comes away loving it. It's a sweet language. Our company has been doing 100% of our backend work in Kotlin for 4 years now.

As noted in the story , he could have chosen to not wear the rainbow arm band:

"club captains during these games are given the option to wear a rainbow-colored armband, which they are free to decline."

Instead he chose to undermine the campaign. Big difference.
