I don't know if Saturday's NWSL semifinal is going to break the all-time Audi Field record but it's going to be a *very* close call en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_Fi...

Much Ado About Nothing (1993) on my fyp so now it's on yours

Until SafeSport announces they are going to stop claiming jurisdiction over thousands of cases, sitting on them for months, and then closing them with no explanation, effectively protecting sexual predator, none of these other changes matter. www.espn.com/olympics/sto...

FIFA's current parking prices will cost more than some actual match tickets at previous World Cups. Parking and transportation have long represented an imposing challenge for the World Cup’s 16 North American host cities.

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

The next time Tim Kaine's seat is up for election I'll be 41. I will have been able to vote for over half of my life but never been able to vote for anyone for senate who's not Kaine or Warner.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

“This was a very very bad vote”

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This looks awfully intentional.

top tier skeet

Just saw that there's MX Fem on, switched over and America is winning 3-0 over Rayadas...did Rebe leave because she saw the writing on the wall in Monterrey, or was she the only one holding things together?

I'm pissed off tonight so I made a donation to my local food bank just now, and it did make me feel a tiny bit better, recommended

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

UW Women's Soccer just won the BIG 10 championship in a penalty shootout, and they did it for their teammate Mia Hamant, who just passed away from a rare kidney cancer. I'm so emotional right now. apnews.com/article/wash...

This is wild to me considering… gestures in Trinity Rodman. That wasn’t worth the risk.

Just realizing the probability we might get the Sunday might have just gone up! On the one hand short turnaround for Orlando to sell tix, on the other hand they played the earliest quarter so would make sense to play the first semi

NWSL: put enough NWSL veterans with your youth talent on your teams to win you games through the season AND win you games come playoffs. They just don’t magically learn. Experience matters. Also raise the damn salary cap or get rid of it so you aren’t choosing between preschool or balance

KC has scored the two latest goals in NWSL playoff history … 90+10 Del Fava at HOU 2022 qtr (game-winner) 90+13 DiBernardo PKG at ORL 2024 semi Just sayin'

The duality: Coaching a perfect consistent season vs. coaching one game.

pretty confident in saying a goal like this hadn't happened to the current all season, sharples being caught out and shrugged off, lorena beaten from a wide angle. also, absurd entry pass to shaw from sonnett.

Beats three defenders and the keeper that’s a mil well spent by Gotham. That’s the Shaw experience!

Esme Morgan on this whole scene: "They were just having a great time up there, like the standing section was absolutely packed. And I thought, I want to get involved. So, yeah, just clambered on the little platform that they have, and Trin handed me a flag, and I was waving it."

Been occupied for a while, but Spirit injury updates from Adrián González just in case: - Carle "felt something in that sprint, in her hamstring." - McKeown has an ankle injury, not a knee. "I don't think it's [anything] big... you cannot take risk in this situation."

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

"She shows what she is: one of the best goalkeepers in this league and in this country." Esme Morgan, Hal Hershfelt, and Adrián González on the impact Aubrey Kingsbury has on opponents in shootouts, and Kingsbury's reaction to her colleagues' praise:

ICONIC BEHAVIOR ✨ @spiritsquadron.bsky.social ✨

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that The Spirit are well on their way to being one of the most popular franchises here in DC. What Kang/Adri are building here in DC is special. Regardless of how the season ends this team is going to be stacked next year with tons of hardened experience.

The career penalty save% leaderboard since 2011 (professional competitive matches, club + country, min. 15 saveable pens faced)

This is the 12th NWSL playoff game all-time to go to extra-time. The away team has won just 3 times. Only 2 of the previous 11 went to PKs — both involved the Spirit (2016 final, 2024 semi). Every WAS playoff HOME game has gone to ET, and they've advanced every time!

The Washington Spirit going into extra time in a home playoff game? They quite literally do not know how not to

tysm for this gift

@spiritsquadron.bsky.social 💛🖤

Let’s go @washingtonspirit.com!!! Tifo by @spiritsquadron.bsky.social

Louisville seem flummoxed at being called for all these fouls they usually get away with

Goal called back. Replay on TV showed a still image with no issues so idk what to tell you.

Trinity Rodman wasn’t participating in warm-ups, but she was out there getting the Audi Field crowd ready. (See below!)

SPIRITS AIN’T MESSIN AROUND — Rose, Croix, Gift, Sofia, & Leicy!! — Trin on the bench 👀👀 — Rebe-Tara-Morgan backline?? — COME ON SPIRITS

Please NWSL broadcasters, I beg you, offer a "so you actually LIKE soccer???" alt-cast that is focused on presenting the visual and audio info needed to watch soccer, with no extra distractions. Let me see clearly who has been substituted or booked! Save me from pre-filmed in-game distractions!

When girl dad meets girlboss you get girl girlboss dad which also makes no sense.

Spirit Availability report is here folks. Not a long laundry list like we had last week but Abiodun will be out tomorrow and Trinity is Questionable. So take that as you will Washington Spirit SEI/ML: Hatch, Jessee, Krueger, Sarr, Sullivan OUT: Deborah Abiodun (ankle) ???: Trinity Rodman (knee)

The Black Women’s Player Collective never miss, but so much more than that, since their inception, the work they've done to make the NWSL a better space for EVERYONE can never be overlooked. Always support the BWPC.

I mean…fine, I guess. Two days for this bland ass message is still silly. Liiiike, Andi’s somewhat back in training, y’all couldnt tag our girl in for this one??

This is FUCKING INSANE

this is definitely showing up in the Epstein Ballroom at the White House

I had to spend more time than I should have finding large and supportive sports bras to donate today....so wanted to re-up the visibility of this drive and re-share this article from awhile ago: www.nytimes.com/athletic/621...

UVA, babes, your keeper is working so hard, get some goals for her plz

When playing it out of the back goes wrong: college edition

I am BEGGING sports media covering Ausberry as the new AD at LSU to include this in their coverage. If you don’t, you are bad at your job and should be embarrassed.
