It was a professional win that sent #THWFC into the League Cup QF draw, while #THFC showed a concerning lack of standards in the NLD. It's interesting how the teams' fortunes are starting to diverge despite starting the season in similar circumstances.

I finally caught up on the men's FS from Finlandia last night and I have thoughts:
1) I have underappreciated what a precious smol bean Yuma is because I just now noticed during this competition how he looks directly at the camera after receiving his scores to thank (presumably) his fans 🥺

Not saying this just to be contrary, but you can tell who spent the lead up to the NLD working themselves up into an angsty froth & who spent it watching the 1 Spurs team that’s currently good. Choices were made! I’m just baffled by folks who continue to ignore Spurs Women. You could be having fun…

If there’s one thing that Spurs will do this season, men’s and women’s teams, it’s score ridiculous goals.

I will never forgive Bayern for not letting him retire there. He contributes so much more than just what he can do on the pitch.
After knocking out LAFC on penalties, Thomas Müller stayed behind to celebrate with his injured teammate

It’s been a while since I’ve had to write this subpost, but here’s your regular reminder that homophobic humor isn’t funny and it’s not excused just because you’re upset about a football game. Grow up ✌️
