Actually, Nigeria need a win for themselves by any score & any result in the other game except a Zambia win of 4-3, 5-4 or even higher scoring one-goal result.

The plot: everyone watches Temwa Chawinga play and are so inspired that they reconfigure their entire organization and lives to celebrate pro women's soccer. Folks, you can hand them the Emmy Award for writing *now*.

HANG THE BANNER

“I think everyone knows how proud we are of the KC Current and their investment, in particular, in infrastructure, and to have that moment on display for the world to see in what has been a cultural phenomenon with Ted lasso is really exciting”

The clip reminds me that I am unhappy with the results of the 2025 NWSL postseason, and that Temwa Chawinga was not available for said postseason.

If he's losing the support of CAF to this level of desperation, he's toast already.

Can't believe their lines were cut. They're so natural and lifelike in interviews.

Say what you will, but today is the day more people will learn about the existence of the Kansas City Current, and a brief synopsis of their story, than any other day ever. And it's positive.

New 'Ted Lasso' season features NWSL's Kansas City Current as plot point

The new season of "Ted Lasso" was filmed in the U.S. at a real-life NWSL club for a cameo that serves as a key plot point of the show.

LSMO approves its stormwater management measure. Huge. One of those moments when a potential natural disaster will be avoided due to planning years in advance. Stormwater management isn’t flashy, but it’s a core component of a well functioning, livable city.

Anecdote: friend voting at Hawthorn Hill Elementary School in southern LSMO has run out of Dem ballots. 75 people are waiting in line and none have left.

Tobin Heath will cap her career by not signing a contract with Racing Louisville on August 22nd.

Challenge Cup will be five days earlier. We know we won't start the season in LA next year since we're winning the Shield and the NWSL Championship this year.

The #NWSL plans to kick off its 2027 season on Feb. 11 in LA, 3 days before the Super Bowl across town. It's the earliest NWSL start ever, necessary due to ~7 weeks off for the World Cup. More on NWSL realities of February, World Cup...and scheduling as MLS flips its calendar:

My team with Vlatko coaching ends up three points short of 75, then loses to the 8 seed in the quarterfinals. This wounds me.

"Six Degrees of Emily van Egmond" would be quite the women's soccer parlor game. I think she's no more than six relationships away from *any* professional women's soccer player who's played in the last twenty years of soccer.

I'd like to notify everyone before it happens: I fully anticipate that I will be the next Commissioner of Major League Soccer. I thank everyone for their support up to this point, and I look forward as we move together in the soccer ecosystem.

Will the new studio be the backdrop for announcing a 6?

@stbikeskc.bsky.social Every time I see the burgundy sedan on the bike barrier the song "Surfin' Safari" by the Beach Boys just starts going through my head.

I feel like Amelia White is a long-term addition to KC. Two games, two incredible shots from tight angles. Only Angelina Anderson kept her from scoring in back-to-back matches.

I’m sorry I… what did the Utah Royals do to Portland???

Kind of insane how KC added the best player in the league and in the process unbalanced the lineup so much that it got worse

Justin Horneker@hornekerjustin.bsky.social · 3d ago

There's a Superstar tier of NWSL players this year; everyone over 3.0 goals added in ASA database tracks well with who we perceive as the NWSL's stars: Bethune, Banda, Chawinga, Wilson, and Rodman. Then, there's clear ROY Jordynn Dudley (2.60 g+) Then, the next tier +1.5 g+ and hello Cece Delzer.

Given the short rest, the quality of the opposition, and the availability report I’ll take it. But this could have been 3.

1-1 a fair score at this stage. Still think there’s one more tonight.

And the a complete wipeout of food and beer on my way to my seats. Apologies, this is my first time in public.
