The NWSL is expected to start its 2027 season in February, nearly a month earlier than previous years, per @melanieanzidei.bsky.social and @aslipelit.bsky.social. In the draft schedule, preseason begins in January, with playoffs running through the weekend before Thanksgiving. nyti.ms/44Tiaul

🇲🇼 what a historic night for Malawi, a breathtaking 3-2 win over Nigeria in their first-ever WAFCON match, beating the 10-time champions and reigning champions. Temwa Chawinga scored a brace, getting her country’s historic first-ever goal in the tournament, while her sister, Tabitha, added another.
Nigeria very jammy to nab a penalty in the 90th minute, down 2-0 to Malawi in their WAFCON opener. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade converts from the spot. 2-1 now with at least 8 minutes, probably 9 or 10 of injury time to come in Morocco...hold onto your butts.
First Temwa, now Tabitha. The Chawinga sisters have taken over. They are most dangerous in the final 15 minutes of any match.. if you tired and can’t run, they gon run right past you. 2-0 Malawi in their #WAFCON debut and Nigeria in shock.
Victory for Zambia 🇿🇲 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑 Banda goals lead The Copper Queens to a 6-0 win against Egypt in their first match of WAFCON 2026 💫

Really interesting read on Cathy Englebert this morning from @anniecostabile.bsky.social that may feel familiar in some ways to NWSL readers (minus the Adam Silver of it all). www.nytimes.com/athletic/746...
The WNBA’s business is thriving. So why can’t Cathy Engelbert escape criticism? (Gift Article)
Boos follow Engelbert whenever she appears in public, as fans and players appear to be united against her.

So Salem has been listening to Casper Babypants because it's decent kid music, and we were listening to nature songs and one featured the words "peaches" and "boll weevil" and I straight up gasped when I realized who Casper Babypants is in that exact moment.
The ’94 World Cup influenced a generation of Americans. What will 2026’s impact be? “It’s been a terrific 39 days, but bringing the Cup to the U.S. has always been about: What does it do to accelerate the growth of the game? So it’s Monday that matters.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/745...

There's no denying a landmark World Cup will leave an indelible mark on America. But what will be its legacy? And who will it galvanize?

Maybe the real World Cup was the hydration breaks we had along the way.
So proud of this team for this first year, and taking a team to pens despite injury and key players not being released for this game which I should not speak about. Up the green forever.
