LMFAO all I do is talk about 2 players and one team on here

Unrelated to the whole teal man terror but something irks me so bad about someone saying a team other than DC will win in PKs. Like you can predict NY will win but do you watch our shootouts??
You didn't need to do this, NWSL

My question for the Spirit is how will they balance international spots also while recruiting new talent?
Good piece, though I wish the question for the Spirit was about something beyond Rodman
The #NWSL season is over. Here's one burning question for all 14 teams that just concluded their seasons.

This is… interesting. Unless they have someone else lined up this is just poor decision making. He took a 10 sei team to the semis
BREAKING #NWSL NEWS: The Portland Thorns have fired head coach Rob Gale.

The Thorns finished third this season and made the semifinals. Results were up and down, although they also dealt with lots of key absences.

On the topic of what ifs because why the hell not, if Heather Stainbrook starts the final in 2024 I think we had a significantly higher chance of winning lol

An underperforming and well built soccer team finishing 4 points from home playoffs is not UMBC type underdog it’s just soccer

Of course I’m salty. I’m a 5th generation Washingtonian and I’ll always be ride or die DC.
Ya’ll can miss me with all the Gotham celebrations on the TL. Peace and thank you.

This is the petty in me but I’m confused how Gotham gets an underdog narrative when I saw exactly 1 member of the media pick Spirit (ily Ali)

what the hell are they okay ?!?!
🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬

i'd rather lose in the final twice in a row than ever be a fan of either of those teams
November 23, 2025 at 9:00 PM
Guys holy shit Chesky gave out 8 cards last night
November 23, 2025 at 8:38 PM
No NWSL for 3 months, No WNBA for 4 months, No Unrivaled for a month and a half oh i'm sick.

@risswillett.bsky.social I've been procrastinating work and had your idea stuck in my head. I don't really draw so this is more conceptual/messing around. Maybe turn the period after spirit into a star and put it where Audi would geographically be?

Remember when UCONN wbb didn’t stick their name on the bracket until they won the championship? That’s the kinda energy we need(ed) to channel
