“Schieß ihn ins Tor” which is what I’ll start yelling soon lol

While I’m on it: last year I also talked about A League of Their Own on @watcheditpod.bsky.social

Ja!! hinzu kommt, dass ich mir nicht vorstellen kann, dass auf kritische Nachfrage da von Wück oder wem anders vom dfb was kommt, das nicht „wir konzentrieren uns aufs sportliche“ ist 🫠

Ich schaue Freiburg vs Frankfurt morgen im Stadion und freu mich, verpasse dafür aber wahrscheinlich heute die Spiele - you win some you loose some oder so 😅

Ich frage mich schon auch konkret, was das mit einem oft als safer Space und als divers benannten Raum wie dem Frauenfußball ( und auch mit Teams ggf) macht, bei dem zB queersein einfach dazugehört

bald eher die Frage wen hat er noch nicht verwechselt in diesem Spiel 🫠

absolutely! esp since Wamser has only recently started playing that position at Frankfurt. She did a good job I think but overall Wück is making some…interesting personal/tactical choices

Lol. I honestly keep trying to figure out why no German coach starts Kleinherne?? Like what are the reasons to not give her a chance? I was initially excited when Wück nominated her but this is more of the same

Thank you!! I share your thoughts re Blomqvist and Frankfurt,they talk a lot about wanting to get closer to WOB and Bayern but yeah idk.
And completely agree re wob, will be interesting to see if they can keep their position in the league or if other clubs ( Union 👀) will take their spot

Do you have any thoughts/ opinions on Eintracht Frankfurt’s transfers(particularly Ivelij, Blomqvist, Memeti) and how they’ll fit and on Wolfsburg’s almost entirely new squad?

bei Union teilweise auch an der Grenze, „auf die Fresse“- Gesänge zB auch super unnötig. Finde zwar schön dass so viele kommen und laut singen etc aber komplett anderer vibe & crowd als sonst bei Frauenfußball

Yes totally! And then perhaps Siuan‘s death ( and her storyline) would have felt not like a device to motivate Moiraine, because that doesn’t feel true of the character or the relationship — though that is obv also due to the fact that Sophie Okonedo is only in a few episodes etc

I liked her speech as well and Sophie Okonedo is a phenomenal actress!! I just wish her death would’ve been less violent and happened differently/ at a different time or maybe that both Siuan and Moiraine would’ve died at the same time — even if that had been devastating

plus the violent killing was not necessary for her to be heroic, there could have been other ways to achieve that

Killing her like that reduced her to being Moiraine’s love interest /a plot device for Moiraine to succeed. I’m not arguing her arc in the books is better, just that how she was killed is in line with negative queer tropes and other problematic racial dynamics in the tv show

this isn’t even about the fact that they killed her — I never expected for Moiraine and Siuan to surivive — but about how brutally she was killed and how her arc was minimised

Ohh I really like this analysis! Tgw is one of my all time favs but I watched it as a teen and romanticised that relationship and Alicia as a “good” character, even though it’s all there right from the start. If I’d watch it for the first time now I’d likely interpret it very differently

Omg PLEASE
