*whispers* at some point should these performances be worrisome?

The story of the NWSL/USWNT was built on the strengths, abilities, and perseverance of thousands of black women across the landscape of American soccer. Teams really should be honoring them more.

Also - it’s just smart business to resonate and connect with your black supporters. This isn’t hard

It’s wild to imagine what could have been

Were they long throwing as well? I think that’s what sets Stoke apart in my mind, when they got within ~40 yards it was misery. They had the size for the meat wall too!

Something I think about maybe far too often is just how close the old Stoke teams were to an optimal playing style - they just never quite figured the meat wall out. What could have been

She be leaving

This is what happens when people get blinded by greed and the prize money. In my day we did it for the love of the beer and tacos

These guys need support because the majority of them don’t make enough money to strike for long at all - this isn’t like NFL, NBA etc. these are guys who love the game and play the game because they love it

Smashing em like Klara Bröhl

Out there hitting free kicks like Broberto Carlos

Went full Megan Bropinoe

Acting like Brophia Wilson

If you want to talk about one of the biggest impacts of the NWSLPA it’s this - players feel comfortable enough with the protections to get to start the families they deserve. You heard so often from the prior generations of “having to choose” and while that still exists to a degree, it’s much less

Halftime is such a big deal, and there’s certain stadiums where it takes forever to get back to the locker room. FCC designed the little things really well

Yeah this is the thing - when I worked for the men’s team here we played FCC in Open Cup. The grass on the field was truly incredible. And the locker room, visiting facilities, etc were super nice

Luke Spencer did excellent work with Taylor too. Awesome job to the group

Garland and Roberts in a battle for worst lawyer of the last 50 years and maybe ever.

If you’ve been to a Puerto Rican wedding (highly recommend) you’re just cheesing right now so big

I just hope @ariellecastillo.bsky.social (after the match this morning 😣) had the best time during halftime

Still grinning ear-to-ear from that halftime show. From the sugar plantations to shouting out every country in the Americas. Love that we got to witness that.

Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga

If he brought out Daddy Yankee for Gasolina I would’ve hooted like an owl

Perfection 👏

Yeah that was sarcasm, sorry. She’s not ready man. I’m very surprised by this move

Is that good?

Answers for best would invariably range from Dunn, Becky, or Lynn and that’s like….it?

In the offices at Bay we used to love debates like these - had certified ball knowers there.

Another classic is most underrated (Angela Salem constantly got mentions and kudos there)

Hilarious

Wait is this a thing for real?
