Can we please start another bullying campaign? It worked in Louisville, it worked in Boston, it can work for Atlanta

This name is dumb for a lot of reasons. Here are a few. 1. It's boring 2. It's not a bird 3. ACFC is already a team in the league 4. The name of the city is the City of Atlanta, not Atlanta City. I've never heard anyone refer to it as Atlanta City 5. It sounds like Atlantic City

What the fuck? I'm sorry, Savvy should be out of the match AGAIN

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Alright how have none of Ally Sentnor's coaches realized she's not great on dead balls (except PKs). I don't know why, but she just isn't good on them. And yet she's always asked to do them

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I'm a big fan of both Chilufya and Savvy King, but neither of them should be in this match. What's with the NWSL going easy on ACFC reds?

God the refs love KC. Soft PK, no foul called on KC's goal, and one of the more obvious cards I've ever seen - that would have given Sonia a free kick at the top of the box - is a corner

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

How the fuck did they not give advantage on that Coop foul?

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Again, Kansas City Current are not undefeated for 29 straight home matches. They are undefeated for 14 straight home matches. The fact that their last loss was in the playoffs is actually kinda worse than if it was a regular season match.

Sometimes I hate the NWSL. How does Mel Bárcenas delay a restart and the shove Fischer and not get a card? Obvs Fischer sold the fuck out of it, but that shouldn't negate everything else before that

On the non-doom-and-gloom side of Royals talk, I have been incredibly impressed with Brecken Mozingo's recent improvements. You can tell she's put in a lot of work. I would actually not at all mind Utah bringing her back next year

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It's not often you see your team down 3-0 and feel like the defenders and keeper have played phenomenally, but here we are

020

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Alright I just went back and watched the broadcast - the angle they used for Paige's was terrible. From where I was sitting it looked like she pretty obviously hit the ball first. On their replay you couldn't see because it was from the wrong side.

Elbow to face is totally cool, awesome, awesome. On the player who tore her ACL because of a player on ACFC

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Well, if nothing else, at least our 5 ft players are winning legit aerial duels with players much, much taller than them

020

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

What happened? They haven't replayed it all in the stadium

010

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

IMO that's a fucking terrible call. It hit her shoulder. I don't care if she stuck her arm out to shoulder height, it wouldn't change where it hit

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

And it's done! My own custom designed, hand knit @utahroyalsfc.com scarf. Made using Malabrigo Worsted Merino Yarn in black and Sauterne. It took about 60 hours of knitting, plus who knows how much time designing it, and starting it and having to start over. I think it turned out great

"Bit of a high boot on the tackle there" she says about two players kicking the ball while standing straight up and neither making any contact with the other

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Can they truly provide no commentary other than "PORTLAND LOST AT HOME LAST WEEK LOLOLOL" and "CHICAGO SUCKS SO BAD LOLOLOL"?

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Just because someone falls down does not make it a foul Jesus Christ

020

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The NWSL's utter disregard for the danger posed by high boots is fucking abhorrent. I have seen so many players get kicked in the face and not get reds, and the reason we keep seeing them is because they decided it's not a red for some dumb fuck reason

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Being unbeaten at home in the regular season when you lost a home playoff game as in a 1v8 matchup is really not that meaningful. But everyone's gotta pump up KC at every possible turn

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I feel like more matches in Orlando are delayed than start on time

Just over 25% finished now. It goes much faster now that I'm away from the honeycomb and the S, though I was slowed by breaking a needle and not being able to get a replacement until yesterday. I think it should be finished before the next home match, which was my goal

Croix Bethune can go toward the ball while obviously offside and splitting the way the GK had to look and that was fine. But CeCe is FURTHER toward the edge than where the ball went and somehow that impacts the play

010

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Where exactly was Paños going to be, look, whatever, if Cece hadn't been there?

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I have seen them let that go against us multiple times this year. Fuck this league

000

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

About 10% of the way done with this scarf, but that's only if you don't count the other 4 iterations that I've started and had to frog or abandon, plus all of the time designing this.

Lol Washington wyd putting Hatch on Sentnor there? I love Hatch and she's phenomenal at so many things. Defense ain't one of them

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

If they did this fucking nonsense last night, they would have highlighted something other than Hanks' goal

Am I the onlyone who thinks this transphobe sounds...not entirely sober?

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I hope Sarah Gorden could hear them perfectly and was just like, I'm not talking to these fuckheads

000

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I cheer for Washington pretty much whenever they're not playing Utah, but Angel City is getting fucking jobbed

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Bay fans thinking they got screwed when Silky should have had multiple yellows* is funny.

"Could that have fallen more perfectly for Rose Lavelle?" Mike, I love ya, but yes. There's a reason she had to go with her head instead of her foot

000

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Uh if it's a foul how the fuck did they get a corner?

000

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I mean I guess karma for Dudley getting away with a red card?

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

How can you be a professional soccer manager and have this low of an understanding of what makes a good CB? No wonder Elise Evans can't get minutes. This shouldn't be read as shade at Maitane, btw. It's just that Sam Staab is one of the best CBs in the league

Am I on drugs? Because I swear to God that was a hand on Ally's shot

One of these days I will actually write up my critique of the way soccer fans use xG. For now I'll just say that if you're looking at xG for anything other than understanding the quality of chances created, you're doing it wrong

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

This is a subskeet but if you say that a team didn't earn the 5 goals they scored? Jesus fucking Christ get fucked. None of them were on PKs. None of them were on free kicks. How dare you say they didn't earn every single fucking goal they made

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Did a bit of digging and there was one other player who has hat tricks of both goals and assists in NWSL play. The full list (year of first hat trick of each kind): Debinha (A: 2019, G: 2022) Megan Rapinoe (G: 2015, A: 2023) Sophia Wilson (G: 2023, A: 2024) Cloé Lacasse (G: 2024:, A: 2026)

042

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I've only been able to find assist hat tricks back to 2021, but there are only 3 players who have an assist hat trick in that span and also have a hat trick in the NWSL: Megan Rapinoe Sophia Wilson Cloé Lacasse

031

sabercrabs.bsky.social @sabercrabs.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Cloé is now tied with Banda and Rodman for goal contributions
