We will be chatting about this Women's AFCON till the 2027 World Cup (as it also means no Zambia/Banda). Yes, games have been hard to find; poor marketing = fewer crowds. Add to the lack of support for play-by-play with confusion at the end of Zambia/Malawi. Players deserve more.

This is both thrilling and heartbreaking to know Chawinga will be at the World Cup but not Banda

Gotta be in Morocco to talk about World Cup things happening in Morocco or something I guess!

They just showed Gianni on the Malawi-Zambia WAFCON broadcast and the announcer almost choked on his tongue trying to figure out what to say

We are so lucky we get to watch Barbra Banda play in NWSL

I do have hope this opens up some markets for NWSL Championship that had previously been total no-go's due to MLS playoff field availability constraints

Berman on potential calendar shift by MLS and how that affects NWSL: "Being on spring to fall with MLS means that we have both our playoffs at the same time, and there are holds across dates with lots of uncertainty. With us being on differenc callendars, that's no longer going to be the case"

I asked about any updates on policy regarding the inclusion of trans athletes. "Our policy is our practice" is the answer I received. That has been the standard answer for a while. Any changes would have to be in consultation with the NWSLPA.

NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman's midseason conference starts with a clip of the new Ted Lasso season and a Temwa Chawinga goal. She remarks about the recent Citi Field game attendance and other metrics like 40 million social impressions during the NWSL Summer of Soccer tour.

Did yall know ted lasso is a fictional soccer show?

It'll be my very serious responsibility to remind everyone in 2027 that it's the league's Quinceañera year. Congrats, mija.

Alexa, set a reminder ⏰ The biggest dates of the 2027 NWSL season are here! Learn more: www.nwslsoccer.com/news/nwsl-an...

StealYourChain FC won the NWSL Shield (19W–5D–6L) w/ 62 points but lost the NWSL Championship to Washington Spirit. Respect. Draft efficiency was 89% Rob Gale was coach bc options were Vera Pauw or Huw Williams. We've parted ways. Great year. Global search begins. Ty to all our Chain Snatchers🫵⛓️

Jess Fishlock you can never leave, thank you 🙏

Hmm maybe a change of environment will help him get some confidence back and the opportunity to work with Pope Leo could really benefit Castillo here.

BREAKING: The Chicago White Sox are acquiring right-hander Luis Castillo in a trade with the Seattle Mariners for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones and catching prospect Boston Smith, sources tell ESPN.

A spectacular Suffer Bowl that showcased an ugly win one for one team and ugly loss for the other and even had ugly weather to compliment the vibes. Congrats to the second and first worst teams in NWSL. Can’t wait to see them do it again in three weeks.

Louisville is not the Midwest.

See the thing about Nadia Gomes is. She’s a forward.

I can’t believe Maitane out there losing brain cells for this Chicago team.

Louisville and Chicago are playing each other rn and I’m not quite sure what it is but apparently it’s supposed to be soccer. Idk. Stay tuned. Maybe. Or not. WAFCON is on.

Chicago sky two game win streak 🥹

Idk man is Orlando interested in a loan for Emma Sears? Idk idk idk.

My primo was in the area, and we got birria for lunch. I'm still angry about folks devaluing trans life, but now I've got a full tummy of delicious birria, so HaHa, enjoy your diarrhea salads.

Please stop calling it a Trans issue/debate. Trans people are people thanks. Doing that means the culture wars vultures have already won the battle in dehumanizing a literal group of people. I don't care how "small" that group is (which is another problem). Trans people are people.

hi hello good morning

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans people are not a threat to sports. Or a threat in general. Don’t say you want to protect kids and then do the opposite of that. Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Ty 💖

Time to suffer the most suffering that ever suffered for all my suffer heads that only bout that suffer life.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBAAAAAALLLL?????

Watching racing Louisville get a consolation penalty that took like ten minutes to review, decide, set up, place, and convert.
