As both a huge Star Wars fan and Star Trek fan, I feel confident in this take: Star Wars could never have a show like Lower Decks because most Star Wars fans struggle to fan-girl their universe while simultaneously making fun of it in the ways that Star Trek fans can with their universe.

In 5 games, Sjögren has played Johnson in 200% of the games of Gomes (4 and 2, respectively) but in 20% of the minutes (22 and 116, respectively). Of the games played, Johnson is averaging 5 minutes, the same as minutes / game for Jacobson and Hemmi, but less than Masar (14/g) and Donaldson (19/g).

If Huitema is still on the injury list after the international break, what are the chances we see Naeher in the starting line-up ... as the 9?

What it is like to work remotely and you realize that someone you think just started working at your organization is leaving after 5 years:

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

NWSL: Chicago, three of your former players earned red cards. Chicago: WHAT?! Who? NWSL: Milazzo ... Stevens ... Chicago: They NEVER acted out like that for us. NWSL: ... and St-Georges. Chicago: She's only earned one? In 2021, she got 2 red cards in 4 games played.

Lyon goal scorers, in order: Lily Yohannes - Age 18 [overturned] Marie-Antoinette Katoto - Age 27 Melchie Dumornay - Age 22 Damaris Egurrola - Age 26 Tabitha Chawinga - Age 29 VAR looked at Katoto's age and said, "Wait your turn and let some younger players score first."

Of the NWSL cities, Chicago is the largest percentage Polish and almost the most numerically (barely behind NY). Relatedly, Chicago could benefit from scoring goals.

Alyssa Thompson continues to remind me of Christen Press: youtu.be/M3A9OJFRtIo?...

This MN native plant nerd is also a MN Aurora community owner. I'm gonna need this one! I haven't bought one since my inaugural Fuller jersey.

Astronauts are planning to travel past orbit for the first time in decades, but instead of watching them blast off I'll be watching the a movie with my teenager for his first 3D movie and first first-showing experience ever. But here is a GIF of the greatest space movie ever.

Sonnett yelling at Patterson, Reale, Sams, G. Thompson, and Wesley on the back line: "I've played in more SheBelieves Cups than you've played in games."

Thoughts on seeing Project Hail Mary...

Shorten simultaneously basing team failures on those above him (FO not giving him good enough players) and those below him (players not being good enough). So what does he think HIS job is?

The last time Chicago had two wins in a row? September 13 and 21 in 2024. Lorne Donaldson was coach. Chicago is on its FOURTH coach since Donaldson, and only Jacobson had two wins ever with neither of the other coaches earning wins at all.

Why does the ION post-game music sound like the theme music for The People's Court?

Naeher only doing this because she doesn't want to be the center of attention at her own retirement.

Mel B adding that Scary Spice to the game.

Chicago with their first breakaway all game and ruin it by a long, slow switch instead of driving forward 2 on 2.

BSG flying in out of nowhere and causing chaos?

Chicago games on Victory+ - 0-4 loss to Angel City - 0-3 loss to Orlando Chicago games on anything else - 2-1 win over Kansas City Just saying.

The Rock with long hair playing a demi-god that takes on the shape of another creature? Classic premise.

Sure, but what if the ball is already across the line...

First of all, TWG already has a podcast with "The Captain" and it's called "Teaming Up with Becky Sauerbrunn." Second of all, it has been over two years and @courtneystith.com saying this phrase on @diasporautdpod.bsky.social still lives rent free in my head:

Alyssa Thompson, who has just scored another header, is immediately surrounded by her teammates, all of whom look taller than she is at 5'4".

Remember how obnoxious the vuvuzelas were at the 2010 World Cup on the broadcast feed? Do you want to know what is even MORE obnoxious? Fans blowing whistles every couple of seconds in this Chelsea v PSG game.

If this were a movie, I could tell how it would end for them based on whether they are travelling with Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, or John Candy.

I've seen enough. Clearly this experiment is working. It is time for a Michael C. Jordan.

2025's top GIF from my posts about Alyssa Naeher has returned for another year.

Angel City players go Zoom. Chicago players go Skype.

Chicago tied Bay FC in points in 2025 for last place but lost the tie breaker based on goal differential. The goal differential? 7 points. Relatedly, Chicago lost their opener last year by 6 to Orlando. Different year, same Chicago...

No one marking the other runners. At all.

Historically, when people have asked me for my "guilty pleasure" movies, I have simply listed movies I like that people think I should be embarrassed to like. Example: Nothing Hill. However, I am half way into the Jumanji reboot and I have a new answer to the question.

I love how many people on this app are just hearing the pronunciation of Ludmila for the first time when they pronounced it the same way all of last season. Fun to realize how few of you actually watched Chicago [Red] Stars games last year.

The joy of being a Chicago fan has always been watching the players thrive ... after they go to other teams.

Aca-scuse me?!

NWSL season kicking off after dark on Friday the 13th. What could go wrong...

Ok, I figured out the Feuz-math... If Ludmila scored 6 goals and was worth $1M, then a striker who only scored 3 goals is worth $500k.

Dryer: 10 minutes remaining Me: *watches 45 minute show" Dryer: 25 minutes remaining

if i'm following the money correctly, bay just paid chicago $35k to send penelope hocking to kansas city??? the nwsl is so back.

After a rough couple of years, Chicago [Red] Stars are finally at the top of the list for something! *checks notes* Oh, wait...

Sure, we've had a couple bites while we've been ice fishing these past 4 hours. But have we caught anything?

2019 NWSL Championship levels of pyrotechnic smoke

Happy USWNT v Colombia, to all who celebrate!

I was co-founder and co-captain of my high school's Downhill Sledding Team. We never had official activities outside of an introductory meeting each year, and yet we had our team picture in the yearbook and I could put it on college applications.

And an understanding of the word "union"

You don’t often get to see the moment when someone realizes they could never live without someone.
