Houston Dash goalkeeper coach Eric Klenofsky announced today that he will be stepping away from his role to focus on his family.

The club is grateful for his contributions over the last two seasons, and he will remain in Houston as he transitions out of his day-to-day role with the team.

🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬

Mandy Freeman was not rostered for the 2023 final, and in 2025 she not only started but captained — and won! So happy for the #GothamFC legend.

Spirit fans, I am so sorry this season didn’t end with a ring. Y’all put your heart & soul behind your club, and we all felt it. Feel the emotions you need to. Let it in & let it hurt.

So now Gotham scoops up like 3 or 4 Spirit players next season, right? (Sorry, couldn’t help making a 2023 ‘ship joke) #NWSL #NWSLChampionship #WASvGFC

They’ll probably just rebrand T*** M** for that lighter turquoise color that Gotham uses.

I had a similar thought the other day—this would’ve potentially be a quarterfinal if Gotham got the 7 seed instead!
hornekerjustin.bsky.social Justin Horneker @hornekerjustin.bsky.social · 4d
And that Gotham isn't an 8th seed if Lavelle is healthy all season, or Midge, or if they acquired Shaw earlier, etc, etc.

berman keeps using that dumb line that the reason an 8 seed is facing a 2 seed in the championship is the salary cap, and it is driving me crazy. i would argue that a far more accurate reason is because the league sucks at protecting players like banda and chawinga on and off the pitch.

Do it! (On the other hand, I know you’re not a fan of the 2014/2015/2022 shield winners, but watching the intro video narrated by Pinoe made me a bit sad she never won a championship final, so I’ll agree with the logic!)

Who’s my pick?

The ghosts of the Western New York Flash showing up with baseball bats, a folding chair, a spear, and grenade and somehow also winning all the swing states, too. 3-1 in regulation.
