Annie Peterson looks at the USWNT in the SheBelieves Cup and the guilty conviction in Spain www.theixsports.com/features/spa...

The #NWSL Draft is no more, but how are clubs navigating this new landscape of scouting and recruiting college talent without it? For Sports Illustrated, I checked in with #AngelCity, #BayFC, and #GothamFC about how it’s been going. www.si.com/soccer/witho...

11 - Players representing 11 different #NWSL teams played for the #USWNT against Australia on Sunday, the most ever in a single match. Spread.

@angelcity.com Your announcer/commentator in this Coachella friendly against Seattle Reign is good. I really enjoy his commentary.

@utahroyalsfc.com scrimmaged BYU last night in Herriman. URFC won 4-0💪🏼⚽ 15 year old KK Ream scored a 🎩 trick. Her speed is something to behold and made things very difficult for BYU's defense. The other goal was an own goal by a BYU defender who was facing goal, attempting to defend a cross.

Angel City announced the club has acquired 18-year-old Colombian Women’s NT forward Maithé López from Real Santander for 4 years in exchange for an undisclosed transfer fee. López will subsequently be loaned to Lexington Sporting Club Women of the USL Super League.

O'Kane is the first Ute to enter the professional soccer league after the NWSL eliminated its draft, and the second of Nakada's Utes to make it up to the pros, after teammate Courtney Brown was selected to play for the Washington Spirit in the 2024 NWSL Draft! #GoUtes

Fascinating and staggering data being shared on the broadcast right now… Colombia women’s national team players earning $80 per day during the 10-day SheBelieves Cup, while USWNT players earn $8,000 per game and get a $10,000 bonus for a win.

Melissa Ortiz was talking about the mistreatment of Colombia federation towards their women’s team, including not increasing their pays for near a decade. I made a comic in 2022 discussing this.

Good piece on the real issues behind all the poliltical theatre

For Arsenal's piece this season, I wanted to study the development of Black Arsenal. The only place to start: by sitting down with Paul Davis and letting him be my guide. We did this: inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Recreated a plot to look at which teams had more or less experienced players last season. Will be interesting to see how many of these change this season as teams remake their rosters #NWSL

The CFPB has: -Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud -Cracked down on junk fees -Fought against politically-motivated debanking -Protected veterans from predatory lenders -Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

Jonathan Liew’s piece today could hardly have been better timed.

The #NSL is loading up on first-year pros + highly-tenured veterans, relative to the #NWSL. However, players in the two WoSo leagues average a similar level of pro experience. NSL teams are mostly split at the extremes, while the NWSL represents a range of squad building approaches.

Why were the referees just letting the two players go at each other without intervening. They just let go at it without until the 2 at each gotten some licks in. Maybe the referees wanted the Canadian player to get his own back.
