Friendly reminder that one of the complaints made by the 15 was the inability to lock their doors at camp. If he and the president are doing things like this on camera in front of a sold out crowd, imagine what they’re not afraid to do in private.
Leah Williamson really captained England to a Euros victory three years after playing 6 minutes in the World Cup. Beth Mead really won the golden boot and player of the tournament one year after being left off the Olympic roster. 😭😭😭😭
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Alex Morgan, Taylor Kornieck, Ali Krieger, and Ashlyn Harris left Orlando and suddenly are having some of their best seasons ever. 🤷🏼♀️
Chelsea fans are fucking silent when their team is up 3-1 at Stamford Bridge but have decided to chant and play kazoos when a player is collapsed and surrounded by medics. Okay. Sure
Wearing my USWNT jacket today during the car rider line.
Mom of a kindergartener: I have to ask, who is your favorite player on the women’s national team?
Me: Tobin Heath
Mom: clutches her chest and high fives me then says “this is such a beautiful moment between us” 😂
This race to have the youngest player in the NWSL is so gross to me. Let these kids be kids. And why are the parents complicit in this? They can still play the game they love at the proper levels.
This was my view of my favorite Tobin Heath scoring in front of me on Thursday…her heart celebration and two jumps though😍 Sorry for my loud screaming.

This is the biggest moment in Ireland Women’s Football history. They’re going to their first World Cup, and the team doesn’t deserve to have to answer to this. Ask Vera in her press conferences of course. But the team deserves to have THEIR moment.
Katie McCabe frustrated as the pre match press conference is dominated by allegations over Vera Pauw, rather than talk of the final game on home soil for the Irish team against France this evening in Tallaght Stadium, which should be a joyous occasion in front of a sold out…
Manuela Zinsberger having the most clean sheets in the WSL (and a 100% penalty save record for Arsenal) while being consistently left out of best GK conversations? My villain origin story.
We absolutely need to be having conversations about 1) Lotte being played of the season and 2) Sarina’s refusal to play her despite her being so consistent
Only two of the players who signed that letter are on the She Believes roster, and the letter specifically calls out the retribution of players by USSF. 🤔
Vlatko on Sam Mewis: It’s a long term injury, does not want to go in to details, and said they don’t want to comment on timeline or her possible return at all.
Avoided the question of World Cup for Mewis pretty entirely.

The NWSL is truly so self-destructive. They have people BEGGING to spend money on their league, and they won’t make it possible for us to do so. Truly a terrible business.
You all…I ordered a new sports series for the library. It arrived today, and this is the cover of the soccer book. It’s not even a women’s soccer book. Just soccer in general. 😭😭😭
I think both times Leah has been injured, we’ve seen why she’s a captain. Lotte and Steph aren’t playing poorly, but Leah seems to carry a lot of the team in terms of leadership. We desperately miss her when she’s gone.
Was so impressed with the amount of USWNT players my wife could name at the beginning of the Matildas series. Then she said “who’s that?” at Steph Catley and ruined the moment.
Each NWSL expansion team is its own experiment.
But what's happening in Los Angeles feels different.

I love this for Tobin. She’s part of the discussion, and she’s found a coach who will manage her minutes in a smart way to ensure she’s healthy long term. She’s exactly where she needs to be right now.
Calling non capped players to the WORLD CUP cannot be blamed on injuries alone. You all need to stop with that excuse. This is complete mismanagement. If the team was in a tougher group, they’d be so screwed.
Erika, Angharad, Megan DH, and Jess Fishlock all have said something so far. Alex liked Jess’ tweet. This is not going to be pretty. I hope these players are okay.
