Watching Barbra Banda being interviewed by an interviewer who does not realize Zambia has been eliminated is its own special kind heartbreaking madness.
Right now the only path for both Zambia and Malawi to advance involves a one-goal Zambia victory with a minimum score line of 3-2. Both teams would need to score one more. Not impossible!
So it seems like people are surprised Ted Lasso is bad. Why?!

Was thinking about the Skubal trade today… There was a shared sense among filmmakers who worked in silent film, and transitioned to the sound era — that artistically they’d approached perfection and then sound came in and ruined everything. (This lament was true for both Hitchcock and Fritz Lang.)
The Boston Legacy’s commitment to unnecessary aggression is something else.
So who is getting a red card for Boston tonight?!
Hate to say it but Vilahamn has really brought that Spurs-y energy to the Portland Thorns
I do feel like Utah 5 - 1 Portland is my spiritual penance for reveling in some Timbers 2 - 1 Sounders BroSo last night.
Sam Hiatt is no doubt a lovely human but lord she's not much of a CB — her lack of mobility is further exacerbated by the fact she's not particularly positionally disciplined either. Jayden Perry just simply cannot be your best CB. Even worse if your coaches don’t know Jayden Perry is your best CB.
If I’m Kelly Cousins / Utah Royals, I’m officially entering the transfer market to add a few more pieces. Why not add Taylor Flint to Set Piece FC?!
I think Pietra might listen to the pod… and use it as bulletin board material. She dropped a DIME for Soph Wilson to finish :30 seconds into her next game vs. Utah. Emma Hayes, here’s another player you can call up instead of the out of form Ally Sentnor or Mal Swanson.
The Washington Spirit since July 3 (30 days) W vs. Houston W vs. NC L vs. Gotham W vs. Boston W vs. Denver W vs. Utah ? vs. San Diego That's a whopping 7 (!) games in that stretch, AKA a game every ~4.3 days on average
If I’m Eidevall / San Diego, I’m clocking that Sandy MacIver is parrying everything and encouraging my team to treat this game like it’s hockey — shoot low and hard and feast on all the weak side rebounds and redirections.
You have to admire the Chicago Stars commitment to never tying.
Wild that if Zambia turn this around, Nigeria are out of the World Cup after two games.
Emma Hayes, I’m begging you, if you’re gonna bring one AS to Brazil, let it be Ashley Sanchez not Ally Sentnor
