Is the Russian spy whale okay and does he need a mom

I know Lily will be just 20 when the World Cup comes and we don't want to put so much pressure on her, but seriously, give her the keys to the midfield and let her cook. She always plays super smoothly, like she's just in a pickup game with her brothers.

The first for Kate ☝️

yeah No sure super normal reaction. Not at all vindictive and petty

I love soccer. What a totally not depressing sport

The NWSL has finally gotten its million-viewer match. Saturday’s championship game garnered 1.184 million viewers, the most watched game in league history

evergreen post from deep in my tumblr

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

By accepting the pardon those turkeys are admitting to culpability

I bought shoes and now I feel better

I’ve been so busy with work and playoffs I forgot that i have to plan my wedding

now why is Michele Kang making me crying

DC is covered in yellow ginko leaves and I think that means something 💕

Why are there so many more flyovers?

Nope nope not mentally mature enough to be on the internet today 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

What spirit motif should I embroider

It’s probably a bit hyperbolic to say the @heyspirits.bsky.social team is doing god’s work when they give us an 80 minute processing session the day after a really tough loss, but damn did I feel relieved to get that notification 🎧💛

I am tired and sad

As documentarians of this wager and proponents of sportsmanship, we have matched this donation to the Ali Forney center and made an equal donation to SMYAL. Thank you @cloud9goth.bsky.social and @spiritsquadron.bsky.social for the energy and commitment you bring to this community 💜

In San Fran for the day and asked my cousin should I start a “when I root, I root for the spirit”. I turn around and spirit fans are walking in to get on the same boat. “We’re here, we’re there, we’re everywhere” 👻

Shout out to Kayla the legend, wherever you are

This is gonna hurt for a few days. It’s been so hard here in dc this year and the spirit really gave us something to be hopeful about. Plus they understood how much we were struggling. Now that’s two tough losses in a row and uncertainty with trin ugh.

The preemptive blocking is killing me 😂 Maybe don’t post publicly on the internet if you can’t handle criticism from the fans you’re talking about

THE PREEMPTIVE BLOCKING

Says stupid thing. Gets criticized. Can’t take criticism. Says we can’t take criticism? Make it make sense

Remember that time we bought a bubble machine for after we scored at the 5,000-seat soccer plex then never got to use it because we didn’t score a single home goal that year? Or when our entire team left because of shitty leadership? Twice? You wouldn’t survive a minute as a spirit fan

lol raise ur hand if you got blocked

this is an insane take, sorry we are emotional following another championship loss. but also I promise you we know what it means to suffer outside of championship runs, too

like girl go read the Yates report

remember when the owner of the spirit tried to have security kick us out

trying hard not to argue with the person who obviously does not know their woso history. if you think long time Spirit fans haven’t been in the trenches, you simply haven’t been an NWSL fan that long.

a young girl who said she wants to be a photographer asked to take this picture of me yesterday and I think she crushed it

The only good thing about last night: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtsi...

good morning fam

You should know that old navy does matching family Star Wars pajamas And I got them for my niece and me

so the clock worked on the broadcast and not inside the stadium? 🤨

I am so fucking sad for the Spirit rn. This shit suuuuucks

Nbd just Megan Rapinoe rocking a #freedc flag as a cape at the #nwsl championship game

Ls for the rangers, Liverpool, and spirit today. Plus I billed 12 hrs. Not a good day for me.

I just … boyyyy the faces say everything

Trinity Rodman on love from Spirit fans: “I’ve always talked about how great the @spiritsquadron.bsky.social is, and DC as a whole, and we’re really bummed we couldn’t be having a parade now going back hopefully they’re still proud and we can try again next year.”

This has been a really hard year in DC and, from the first match against Orlando to the final today, the Spirit gave us something joyful and something to believe in. I’ll always root for this team.

Trinity crying is breaking me

I sad

Adrian made a critical mistake at a crucial time but he’s a hell of a coach and one I’m proud to have as our leader. He’ll bounce back and the team will bounce back.

Need a Spirit fan to give Hal the biggest hug. I’m so gutted for her.

I do think if it seems like spirit fans are being a bit extra, it is useful to consider that 1) we live in a city under siege and have no representation; 2) our economy was gutted overnight; 3) the one thing a lot of us love lost two finals in a row due to gutting injury issues
