After everything that happened with the cardiac arrest and how the organisation handled it, I didn't expect her to return to the team, especially since there are all these rumours about the franchise relocating. An interesting decision. 🤔 #NWSL

Those companies don't care about feminism, rights, or if dude think women's soccer is woke or boring: They care about MONEY, they conduct market analysis. If they're investing, it's because they know it is and will be profitable. And for that it has to offer a good product, on and off the field.

What a weekend we have ahead of us in the #NWSL. And I don't think there's a single game that doesn't have implications—even if only indirect ones—for the playoffs, which are about to begin (there are 30 regular-season games, and the teams have played 26).

The 'Atlanta Phoenix' will be similar to when people who are not familiar with sport or the US ask if the Kansas City Chiefs are based in Kansas and why they are in Missouri if their name includes 'Kansas'.

Atlanta, 17ma franquicia de la #NWSL que debutará para la temporada 2028, ya tiene logo y nombre oficial; El Atlanta City FC. Sin duda, a la liga le interesa que un mercado tan importante funcione, y más en una ciudad tan presente en la cultura afroamericana y deportiva del país.

NC is still in the playoff race (currently in 9th place), but a win would have gone a long way toward securing their spot. Meanwhile, UTA has solidified its 4th-place position with two more wins than 5th-place POR. What a great end to the season in the #NWSL!

With the W, Orlando still has a slim chance of making the playoffs. It’s not entirely up to them, but at least they’re giving it their all until the very end. As for the Bay, they’re one of those teams that’s clearly already thinking about next season (and they should be). #NWSL

Houston may have had a SLIGHT chance of making the playoffs in recent weeks, but it lost four straight games and won only one of its last six. Meanwhile, Portland is holding onto fourth place for now, with Angel City hot on its heels in the standings for home-field advantage. #NWSL

An incredible and hard-fought victory for Angel City against a top-tier opponent like Washington, with the Angelenas fighting for a spot in the playoffs (5th right now). 0-0 until min 88 with both teams playing an excellent tactical battle, capped off by that STUNNING GOAL by Maiara Niehues. #NWSL

Two sides of the same coin: With this decisive win, KC solidifies its chances of making the playoffs, while DEN slips further away from the slim chances it already had to qualify. It’s a shame because, in this final stretch of the season, the Summit have been improving week by week. #NWSL

The game was a mere formality for NY, which is currently the best team in the league and was playing against the worst. Unfortunately, there isn't much else to say about the game, other than that the Chicago players have already given up completely (no one can blame them, I suppose). #NWSL

A clear W for SD, which solidifies their hold on 2nd place (having played one more game than WAS), against a Louisville team that is clearly already looking ahead to next season and a possible relocation (a mistake). At least they’re showing they have a few more resources than CHI... #NWSL

It's not just the #WSL, the #NWSL also has a significant number of Japanese starters who are top-tier players, and it all stems from Japan's decision to invest in youth soccer by organizing the J-League starting at the most basic levels (back in the '90s!)

000

Plays Like A Girl 👑⚽ @playslikeagirl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The #NWSL continues to focus on bringing young talent into its teams and using high school and NCAA’s soccer—which is available to it—as a “de facto farm system.” This is a very smart strategy, especially the part about “incentivizing” or “removing penalties” for clubs so they’ll commit to it.

Teams cannot succeed on the field if, off the field, the organization is unable to provide the staff and roster with the necessary resources and conditions to do so. It is no coincidence that the worst teams in the #NSWL face “complicated” situations off the field.
