NWSL Season Preview Week is here! For the next eight days, we'll be covering all 16 clubs for the 2026 season. For the @denversummitfc.bsky.social, the guys talked to @catabush.com and @kierdoyle.bsky.social of @americansocceranalysis.com about how to build an expansion team with no drafts.
NWSL Season Preview Week is here! For the next eight days, we'll be dropping episodes covering all 16 clubs for the 2026 season. For the Boston Legacy, Emma Healy of @bostonglobe.com chatted with the guys about the biggest mystery team in the league this season.

Itβs preview tiiiiiime
@catabush.com tells us not to ignore the elephant in the room in Denver and @kierdoyle.bsky.social talks about Boston Internationals. Our friends at @xowngoals.com dropped audio previews for both teams today as well!

We know there are limited soccer supporting dollars to go around, but if you got 'em, they should go to those guys: www.patreon.com/xOwnGoals
With the addition of the Vizhub, and the frankly unbelievable effort Evan and Eric put in, I think these are the best set of previews you can find anywhere for WoSo. We hope you agree.
You can wake up, read why BosNationFcLegacyUnited are the best expansion team of all time while you scroll on the toilet in the morning, then get in your car and listen to how actually they're a black box. Every day.
NWSL previews are starting tomorrow, and we're doing things a little differently this year.
Every single team is going to get their regular preview, on the ASA site, 2 teams at a time. On the same day, our friends @xowngoals.com are going to drop the audio previews with experts on each team!
I pulled some data via @americansocceranalysis.com's {itscalledsoccer} and while home advantage has never started out so high in an MLS season since 2013, it is not quite the highest ever (only 98.41 percentile).
I suspect this is an aberration and it will bounce around just like it always has.

Looking like 2 new Green Line Soccer pieces coming tomorrow, including the site's first-ever Spirit article.
If you don't know what Green Line Soccer is, well it's this
If you saw the first tweet no you didnβt
Miami are doing questionable DP to TAM loan deals for Tadeo Allende and Rodrigo de Paul.
STL are doing questionable DP to TAM loan deals for Sergio Cordova.
We are not the same.
Amazing

Maxime Crepeau kept the Red Bulls game from getting seriously out of hand, while Matt Turner has a seriously positive game despite conceding 4 goals is... something.
Huge first day of g+ scores
@jasondcsoccer.bsky.social @3rddegree.net @bayoucitysoccer.net and probably a bunch of others I can't think of right now.
Happy MLSing!
