In a number of stats, Chicago is on its way to its worst season ever: - worst GD - worst Pts/MP - worst GF/MP (by a LOT!) - worst GD/MP (by a LOT!) [baseline stats from @fbref.com]
Lesley Ryder@lesleyryder.bsky.social · 3d agoAnything can happen in the NWSL, but so far this Stars team gives us no reason to believe they’re just one result away from kickstarting a big run. galpalsports.com/db/stars-los...
Oh you're a NWSL fan? Name their 7 stations/streaming partners to which you would need access in order to watch all of the live games in 2026...

It has been 90+ degrees here most days for what seems like the last 2 weeks. Our AC has been struggling through it, with our temps being 5-7 degrees higher than what is programmed. The AC has run constantly. The HVAC guy who just came to fix it did so by removing my $5 filter, which was too strong.
Hidden in the links is the fact that Vlatko is in his first year of eligibility for the Builder list.
Jeff Kassouf@jeffkassouf.bsky.social · last wk.The full list of players eligible for the National Soccer Hall of Fame's class of 2027 includes 2x #USWNT World Cup winners Megan Rapinoe, Ali Krieger and Julie Ertz, plus former #USMNT captain Michael Bradley. (Full disclosure: I am a voter and on the screening committee)
With all these* players out, I expect** to see 45-75 minutes for Joseph, Johnson, and EVANS. * update shows Alozie also INTL ** Chicago has defied expectations this season*** (deragatory) *** last few seasons
Lesley Ryder@lesleyryder.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Stars have been a great opponent for teams who really need some good news. 5 of the team’s 8 goals have come from players on the injured list.
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
Becky Tyler@beckytylerart.bsky.social · 2w agoWhat song did the Sirens sing in The Odyssey? Wrong answers only.
Jameese Joseph seems to be a more true 9 than Ivonne Chacón but has been moved around to various other roles. If Jameese were moved to the 9, I think the case could be made for Johnson to get some starts over Chacón, but I'd like to see both get more meaningful minutes in meaningful positions.
If Micayla Johnson doesn't start getting more minutes (at least 30-45 each game) with Huitema out, I can't imagine any young player in the USYNT will ever want to sign with Chicago in the near future. And don't get me started on Elise Evans getting the Ashley Sanchez/Alanna Cook '23 WC treatment...

Lesley Ryder@lesleyryder.bsky.social · 2w agoIf the Stars intend to develop young talent like Johnson, they have to give them meaningful minutes. I asked Sjogren about it earlier in the season, and I'd have to go back to confirm, but the gist was she needed to adjust to the pro game. I imagine that can happen if she plays other pros.
Chicago has only scored a league-worst 8 goals. Next worst is 14 (Reign), and league average is 19. Huitema has scored 4 of those 8 goals.
Chicago Stars FC@chicagostars.com · 2w agoChicago Stars forward Jordyn Huitema has been placed on the NWSL season-ending-injury list after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left leg. Huitema will undergo surgery & begin her recovery process. 📰: chicagostars.com/first-team/j...

My take on England's loss: In order to win, you need to score more goals than the other team. Maybe they should have brought someone along on their roster who has won awards for scoring the most goals in an international tournament...

2 - There are just two occasions of a team scoring first in the semi-final but not reaching the final of the FIFA World Cup in the 21st century – both of them are England (vs Croatia in 2018 and Argentina in 2026). Familiar.
Remember the '97 classic NFL Blitz where wrestling-style fouls were not only allowed but encouraged? We should have a soccer version of that. But as a video game, not a WC semifinal.

Every time I see the Adidas commercial with Trinity, Jude, Lamine, etc. along with CGI retirees like Zidane and Beckham, I wonder if they also have a CGI version of Julie Ertz (at the 1:58 mark in the long version: youtu.be/mJJY53qhJe0?...), but she's not listed here: news.adidas.com/world-cup-20...
