Astonishingly, in the time since I started this newsletter to now, ESPN+ has become almost totally useless for watching WSL matches from the West Coast, as you can only use it for live events. To watch replays you need the $30/mo "ESPN Unlimited" bullshit

Why Los Angeles?

This is exciting, she seemed to really have it all at Copa America
ABC, a local Paraguayan media outlet, is reporting that 18-year-old Claudia Martínez—the breakout young talent in last summer's Copa América Feminina—is on the move to the Washington Spirit.
