Gotham are we actually doing this??? #gotham #woso I’m So stressed rn

Was hoping to watch the Emma Hayes press conference that happened a few days ago but it seems this one is not being shared online… anyone know why/ if it’ll be available? #woso #uswnt #soccer #ussoccer @ussoccer.com @uswnt.ussoccer.com

A penalty kick should be 0.5 points if scored. Enough to win if the game is tied, but not worth a full point.

This stream quality from ESPN for the Arsenal women is unacceptable.

“Everyone watches women’s sports” I want to but this feed is miserable. Really terrible production from @espn.com #espn #espnplus really frustrated at this experience to watch Arsenal / London City. This is embarrassing and someone needs to be accountable for this #woso #arsenal #londoncity #wsl

the us has to be the second-largest market for the wsl just bc of the sheer size/number of people here and i cannot believe the first two games are having these broadcasting issues it's embarrassing

Rather annoying video issues with this #Arsenal Women vs. London City match to start. #COYG

Really frustrated to pay to subscribe to @espn.com plus and have a video feed that freezes every 5-15 seconds for this Arsenal v London City Lionesses game. This is horrible video quality. What is going on? #espn #espnplus #woso #wsl

The moment Luana returned. Marta is all of us 🥹 🎥 Concacaf W

Absolutely amazing. Tonight’s English-language coverage of the Gotham/Alianza Concacaf game… has no announcing at all. Just crowd noise (from the 400 people there). Paramount+, you absolutely SUCK at this. #woso

The shadows at Audi today are certainly something! Distracting pitch

Rough time to be a Gotham fan. What’s going on with our team? Too many new players, too many injuries, but it still seems like we have enough talent on the field to be doing better than this. Continually frustrated by game results. #nwsl #woso

gonna be real curious to see how they spin this as a violation of code of conduct because it simply: is not

Stars v Courage was an incredible game to watch as a neutral. Ludmila! Wow. Didn’t think that would be the game of the week but it might be. #nwsl #woso

Jessica Berman can not continue as commissioner of this league. This should also be a major concern for the NWSLPA. These are the terms specifically negotiated in the CBA, that leadership would be so craven to threaten the teams DURING A HEAT ADVISORY shows exactly why the PA needed it in writing.

From Lee Callahan/Goal Power on TikTok: (@leecallahaniam) Several Reign players suffered burns on the bottom of their feet from playing on the turf in Portland. Laura Harvey: “The turf literally burnt them” www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BYxcax/

I just saw an interview clip with Laura Harvey where she said many of the players had burnt feet from the Portland game last weekend 😳

At some point, you have to question how seriously everyone is taking the health and wellbeing of the players. That is why the previous commissioner was relieved of her duties. bsky.app/profile/sout...

A summer soccer league is going to face some serious questions as climate change progresses. Time to institute better policies and management to prevent this from happening again.

NWSL needs to face harsh realities about climate change (heat, wildfire smoke + more). Players shouldn’t have to play under these conditions & it’s not safe for them or fans. I don’t go to games during heat advisories & sold my playoff tickets last year due to poor air quality. [1/2]

Concerned about the Stars v Gotham NWSL game tomorrow- AQI in Chicago is 235, which would currently warrant being postponed by the league. Can’t imagine it will be safe to play tomorrow given the current wildfire smoke map. 150+ AQI is widely thought to be harmful, especially for intense activity.

I would like to have a word with whoever at NWSL scheduling decided that two of Gotham’s home matches in the first half of August should be at noon and 4 PM. Just miserable timing with summer weather and heat. I can’t be the only fan who is dissuaded from going due to the timing.

Woso fans- anyone know specific bars in NYC showing the women’s euros & copa America? Ideally in western queens, Manhattan or northern Brooklyn. #woso #gothamfc #euros2020 #womenssoccer #nyc #soccerbar

Can’t wait to see the Gotham availability report 🫠🫠

Listening to Walz, and even though I've known and been warning for years now that this is where we were headed, political-violence-wise, I'm still just in shock. This whole week needs to be a wake-up call for all of us. We're in the fight of our lives here.

Has any other NWSL team gotten 2 red cards in one game? What was Howell’s first even for? What a strange, stressful game

Well that was certainly NWSL after dark. I don’t even know what to say. #gotham confused, stressed and happy we won and scored goals? Also what the heck is the lineup going to be next week?!

Thrilled to see Maybe Happy Ending take home multiple Tony awards tonight. It’s a show about vulnerability, friendship, mortality, grief, love, and so much more. My favorite show I’ve seen on Broadway. I hope you see it if you can. #maybehappyending ✨

My biggest criticism of Chesky is that she never seems to treat anyone, neither players nor coaches, like professionals. She acts like she's coaching a high school league, and it's a serious problem. #NWSL #GFCvKC #GothamFC

Firing Danielle Chesky needs to be a priority for league integrity and, most importantly, player safety. Week after week of rule book defying, biased calls. Refs who make themselves the main character of every match they officiate have no business working any level, but esp not for the pros. #NWSL

Really tired of watching Danielle Chesky ref. NWSL overall needs better more consistent and accurate reffing. #nwsl

Is anyone concerned about the air quality/ wildfire smoke in MN for the #USWNT game tomorrow? There’s an air quality alert for all of MN and projected to be around 102 tomorrow. Content from MCPA AQI. Wonder if the game will go on/ safe for players and fans.

A team from the New York area winning a continental championship ought to be a rather big deal. It certainly would be if it happened on the men's side. Will it be for Gotham?

"Berman’s refusal to stand up to questioning about how league protocols were carried out can only weaken any trust that may have been built between the players and league office." defector.com/jessica-berm...

@jennatonelli.bsky.social what is the reasoning behind not having more injury replacement players, no timeline on Lavelle, no D45 status when were more than 7 weeks into season and there is no update?

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Hey, @sportsonprime.bsky.social … can we… get some closer camera angles for this Racing v Gotham game? I can barely tell who anyone is. And I know these teams. Really disappointing @nwslsoccer.com @amazonprime.bsky.social

Announcing games is a hard job, but there's an across-the-board tendency in NWSL to focus on filling the quiet more than there is on engaging with the game, leading to moments like this. Given how common it is, it feels like a choice made above announcers' heads.

okay this is an emergency assistance thread for anyone who got this National Endowment for the Arts email today some of you can still get your money and I’m going to tell you how article to come later this weekend but here is the Cliffs Notes version:

NWSL weekend is off to a crazy start

Wish we could watch a full @nwslsoccer.com game without cutting away to charts of the standings covering LIVE PLAY, pictures of players doing gymnastics when they were children, playing sports in high school, etc. it’s ridiculous. Missing live play for this nonsense. @cbssportscbb.bsky.social #nwsl

#NWSL is the best league in the world in terms of top-to-bottom on-field quality, but that idea doesn't hit casual observers right when they see broadcasts abandon the actual soccer for...you know, not that, during games.

What if Prime stopped running random clips full screen during the run of play, what a wild and crazy thought!

Hey @sportsonprime.bsky.social can you please stop cutting away from the @nwslsoccer.com Pride / Angel City game to things like HS footage of savy king and the fan watch party in LA during the actual game play? It’s really disruptive and poor coverage. #woso #sportsonprime #nwsl

Tfw you’re having an awful week and a 90 minute episode of @diasporautdpod.bsky.social drops 🫶 thank you

I can’t wait for this week’s episode of @heyspirits.bsky.social 🎉

ION cutting to a highlight package while the ball is in play with 30 seconds left is TERRIBLE. I know @jasondcsoccer.bsky.social has pointed these things out the last dew weeks but it HAS to stop.
