It's a good problem to have, no doubt. Now, if one could suddenly become a great outside back that would solve a few problems...

Now, here's my absolutely batshit thing that will never happen but damn I'd like to see it.
PTJ
Sonnett, McKeown, Reale
Hutton
Thompson, Yohannes, Macario, Lavelle
Shaw, Sentnor

Does this make much sense at all, idk. But it brings my brain joy to consider.

Here's what I'm hoping to see tonight from #USWNT, considering both my personal preferences and NWSL load management.
PTJ
Patterson*, McKeown, Sams, Fox
Hutton, Yohannes, Lavelle
Cooper, Macario, Ryan

*I think Patterson should get one more look before we look to other fullback options next camp...

Our local power company wants $16,000 for the infrastructure to power our house. Tell me again why utilities should be private???

Jays typically do well in away stadiums because most Canadians claim them even if they're now in the US. So they pull more than an average random team.

@aoc.bsky.social from the top rope.
A screenshot of a social media post by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responding to Riley Gaines. Ocasio-Cortez’s caption says, “Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth.” Below it is Riley Gaines’s original post saying, “We’re being destroyed from within,” accompanied by a photo from a large political rally. In the photo, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and a man in a suit stand on a stage facing a large cheering crowd. They are smiling and waving toward the audience under bright stage lights. The platform shows engagement numbers including comments, reposts, likes, and views.

Raise your hand if you forgot that Elizabeth Eddy was still a rostered player in the NWSL. ✋🏽

I would love to see a statement from an ally like Ali Riley on this. Because WOOOOOF.

Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...
National Women’s Soccer League must adopt gender standards to keep growing
Recent controversies across women’s sports — from swimming to track and field — have highlighted professional soccer lacks clear eligibility policies, unlike a growing number of other competitions.…

every time a photo of barbra banda is used for some disingenuous gender fuckery it's in part because the league has signaled that it's unwilling to speak up for or protect her in any way

I'm going Coffey-Yohannes-Shaw/Lavelle (depending on Rose's health at that point).
campbellb1234.bsky.social Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 2d
Give me Coffey-Hutton-Yohannes at mid-field, with Alyssa, Cat, & Trin up front.

USWNT is unstoppable then.

A Jordynn Bugg x Naomi Girma centerback combo with Phallon in goal & Patterson/Fox on the outside is going to hit so hard one of these days soon

Right? Like, I know many who use a press, but absolutely not one that expensive.

And even those who do use a press (and I do know Mexican families that do) are not using something for ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. They would cry in horror at it being that expensive lol.

I am obsessed with how obnoxious the Red Stars players are being with Naeher's retirement ceremony stuff. They seem to have a fun vibe there among players, despite the on-field results.
