Sorry about the screenshot, but this is my best-ever Becky Sauerbrunn take, and on the day she announced her retirement, I think it still holds up
Tweet from me in Oct. 2019: “The year is 2027. Becky Sauerbrunn has been voted NWSL Defender of the Year. Now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, she graciously accepts her award, but pays ample tribute to the other finalists considering she no longer plays professional soccer.”

Catching up on MLS from the weekend and why did no one alert me to this priceless visual?!
Sitting in the grass at Dignity Health Sports Park, one person looks admiringly at another, who is cradling a tiny dog asleep in their arms, with the dog wearing tiny noise-proof headphones like a baby.

I can’t stop laughing at these last two points in the CL discourse
Two bullet points, first is “Streisand effect” and the second is “Bad.”

One more soccer game this year for me (although who knows). NWSL playoffs, North Carolina Courage, Gotham FC, let’s see what happens!
A view of WakeMed Soccer Park about - hour before kickoff. The stadium has not yet filled up and the sprinklers are turned on to get the field wet.

An absolutely cursed paragraph here nymag.com/intelligence...
Paragraph from profile of Shams Charania in Intelligencer, summing up the futility of the NBA scoop game for outsiders with a former reporter becoming a personal trainer to help NBA reporters “survive the unhealthy lifestyle the job entailed.”

As someone who worked editorial for a league in the past and having to make sure we had perfect information on a moment’s notice the NWSL playoff picture ahead of Decision Day is truly brain-busting
The playoff qualifications for NC Courage, featuring about a dozen different complex permutations.

A row of wines produced by La Gironda winery, at La Gironda’s tasting room in Italy. La Gironda’s Ago wine, a Nizza Riserva wine.
