Opta finally went back and re-scored the Wave-Reign game, and while it’s not quite as hilarious now that they’ve given Mercado’s goal a much more sensible xG, Claudia Dickey’s performance at the other end was also even better than originally advertised

It really feels as though no one at the league or MWS considered what might happen if you flood the market with autographed authentic match-worn kits for every single player from every single NWSL game, because even with the auction premium added to these prices you can get some absolute steals

Reign just opened some additional sections for Sunday’s game. If you haven’t bought tickets yet I would *strongly* recommend sections 115/215 or the GA section rather than section 103/203, which will be immediately adjacent to the Thorns away section in 204.

Seattle was just rainy. I grew up in Seattle, actually; I graduated from college in Seattle, and I lived there for a few years, so it was nice to be in the city. Lily had her day off, so I got to show her where I lived, in a way-the highlights of Seattle: the marketplace, the Space Needle, and *the Bellevue area*, just to give here sense of what Seattle is all about. And it was raining the whole day as well, so I was like,
"OK, well, this is the standard. If you live in Seattle, this is acceptable." It was a nice moment just to kind of take it easy, and not think football and just relax, spending some time with her.

Fishlock scoring at Portland in only the second weekend of the NWSL’s existence back in 2013, then slapping the crest and gesturing in defiance to 16,000 hostile fans, set the tone both for the Cascadia rivalry and for the league as a whole.

I asked Laura Harvey postgame about her new customized Yeti cooler, which apparently was a surprise for her from some of the training staff. She loves it but is angling to get a nice cushioned top from Yeti to go with it, if anyone has connections...
Honestly, the Yeti is new because of the league sponsorship and one of our trainers, Kyla, I'll give her a shout out, good job, Kai. She came up to me this week and said, “I want to do something that makes your cooler unique.” And she was showing me all of these different things. And she was like, “Do you want to pick any?” And I said, “No, I don't want to know. You do you.” And I didn't know she was going to do it for this week, so when I walked out there at the start of the game, I was just smiling because uh you know, whatever. It's just little things that are just hilarious to me. How obsessed people are with me sitting on a cooler is one of them. But I do want to get a padded seat. That's my next request. So I'm just putting that out in the universe to somebody. If you could get me a padded seat that Yeti [make], let's go for it. I'm in.

The Army-Navy Game is one of our Greatest American Traditions - Unmatched Patriotism, Courage, and Honor! This incredible Tradition is now at risk of being pushed aside by more College Playoff Games, and Big TV Money.
NOT ANYMORE!
Under my Administration, the second Saturday in December belongs to Army-Navy, and ONLY Army-Navy! I will soon sign a Historic Executive Order securing an EXCLUSIVE 4 hour Broadcast window, so this National Event stands above Commercial Postseason Games. No other Game or Team can violate this Time Slot!!!
On the field, they are rivals, but on the battlefield they are America's unstoppable Patriots, defending our Country with tremendous Strength and Heart. We must protect the Tradition, and the Players, who protect us. Please let this serve as Notice to ALL Television Networks, Stations, and Outlets.

I’m not sure USSF has fully thought through the implications of having every random person who ever held an F license but stopped coaching their kid’s team years ago listed as ‘suspended’ in the license clearance database
Keep your Coaching License Active! Starting on December 10, 2025, SafeSport compliance will be required and tracked directly in the Learning Center for all Licensed Coaches.

Our system shows that you hold a U.S. Soccer Coaching license, but do not have a current SafeSport training on file.

If your SafeSport training is not completed or linked, your license will be marked as "Suspended" until you bring your SafeSport training up to date in the Learning Center.
