No villains here. Fantastic run by Gotham over the last three.

With such a tight game, it was always likely to be one slight slip. The delay to sub Hal was it.

I don’t like how tense this first half has been. The Spirit looked so loose all week. That first fifteen put them on their heels. Ball skipping and shoes slipping is making turns tough. Neither team will like their performance, but Gotham definitely with the edge so far. #NWSL

One of the under-appreciated aspects of Tubi (the people’s streamer) is the collection of great and hard-to-find concert films. I’m working in my office on a Saturday, with a 1975 Springsteen concert, Cheap Trick at Budokan, old Yes shows, etc., keeping me writing.

I wouldn't say CHAD POWERS is especially good, but the alpha Southern white lady (who runs the boosters) has never been so precisely rendered on screen, to my knowledge.

found myself unable to state a top 4 of the 80s because it felt wrong to put SHOAH on a list with anything else

I want everyone to watch the first sixty seconds of this Peter, Paul, and Mary holiday special from 1988 with me.
Peter, Paul and Mary: The Holiday Concert (2011)
Join folk music legends Peter, Paul, and Mary in their spectacular live concert PBS special, with a symphony orchestra and a 200-voice chorus.

Kouassi is why not.
Bethune is why not.
Monday is why not.
Weisner, McKeown, Santos, Bernal, Morgan, Hershfelt, Cantore, Kingsbury is why not.

Talked before this game about how important the midfield battle was going to be.

Right now, Olivia Moultrie and Sam Coffey (10 goals/5 assists this year) have fewer touches combined (48) than Leicy Santos has on her own (53).

This is a very fun game so far for this fan of the NWSL, the Spirit, good tactics, and good individual play.

Too goal-scorer heavy for my taste, but this was always Chawinga's. #NWSL

As @tomyenter.bsky.social would point out, Tiernan is the only one of the group to win Rookie of the Month (twice). But the goals dried up. Do two defenders/wingbacks split the votes, getting Tiernan through? #NWSL

No complaints here. Classifying Manaka as a mid makes this hers. #NWSL

The news du jour is the exact level of politics I feel least qualified to have any opinion about. So I don't.

I don't (and shouldn't) have a vote, but here's my NWSL end-of-year awards:

Goalkeeper of the Year: DICKEY, Berger, Kingsbury, Lorena, Bloomer

Defender of the Year: MCKEOWN, Sharples, Sonis, Patterson, I. Rodriguez
(Toughest eval for me. Maybe Lundquist? Pickett? Dydasco? Del Fava? Morgan?)
