It’s NWSL time: first up is @ajsportstat.bsky.social with the Houston Dash, and ASA writing about Seattle Reign. The only way I suppose is up? www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2025/3/...

Our NWSL previews are coming out tomorrow, we genuinely think this is the most stacked lineup of writers and best NWSL previews we’ve ever had. We’re pumped.

Let this be a little primer/teaser for our amazing slate of #NWSL previews that will be dropping soon 👀🔜 CC: @americansocceranalysis.com

The #NWSL season is fast approaching! Let's check out roster continuity from the 2024 to 2025 seasons. North Carolina leads the league, returning players that accounted for 91.7% of their 2024 minutes. Meanwhile, Portland's returning players that accounted for just 44.2% of their 2024 minutes...

Folks at Backheeled working hard, per usual

Am I the only person on earth that doesn’t love Girl Scout cookies (I admittedly don’t even like them…)

I bet it doesn’t matter in NWSL either, but stay tuned…

Also, don't worry how many minutes your favorite team is returning. This is MLS and it doesn't matter.

Go heels

Hello wbb watchers, I wrote about how you can watch Unrivaled, which will debut in a little over 3 hours

Anyone else excited about Unrivaled? Forget the fact that I just learned about it an hour ago, I’m ready for 3v3 chaos

No

VAR is making games longer, much longer. This is having a *big* effect on sub effects. @eliotmckinley.com dives deep into how increased added times are changing minutes accounting in a big way: www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2024/12...

I’ve never disliked a sports team more than I do the Mets right now

I’m seeing lots of #NWSL Draft discourse but I think we can all agree on not missing the draft’s runtime and sitting through teams taking repeated timeouts, right?

I have seen approximately zero (0) hype for the New York Red Bulls being in the MLS Cup this weekend and I live…in NY

Surely I can’t be the only one asking why Timothée Chalamet was cast as Willy Wonka in Wonka when Jeremy Allen White looks like Gene Wilder Jr.

updated beginner's guide to the pwhl 💜

TNT offering a completely uncritical ~90 seconds on Anson Dorrance at this point in time is IMO a pretty substantial problem.

Thanksgiving doesn’t make my list of top holidays (I’m too Italian…), but seeing people post about exercising to “earn” their dinner tomorrow makes me lean toward disliking it altogether. Food == fuel

I wish MLS playoffs aired on something other than Apple TV even if liking playoff sports is embarrassingly American of me

Don't miss out on all of our exclusive content from the #NWSL Championship! We'll have analysis of the upcoming women's international #USWNT friendlies, too! We have a massive sale going on RIGHT NOW! ➡️: equalizersoccer.memberful.com/checkout?pla...

Sort of cool to post here and see interaction from people I know instead of posting into the void that Twitter has become

Finally downloaded this app on my phone so be prepared for more regularly scheduled programming (posting) 😎

Tomorrow is the big day. One day ahead of the World Cup kicking off, Evan Davis wrote about the best NWSL players that have never made a World Cup roster.

How would a team of USWNT players who just missed Vlatko's World Cup squad perform...at the World Cup? ▫️ Talent in every spot ▫️ Sam Coffey, Jaelin Howell in midfield ▫️ Players to watch next summer? @casconearianna.bsky.social runs with this thought experiment. https://t.co/7cKcHFR2gq
