Dropping soon: Our first ever player interview... 👀

#CanWNT / #CanXNT

Minutes for the #CanWNT / #CanXNT from January 1st until now - broken down into club, cup, and country. If Stoney is serious about players needing significant minutes a few players will need to make moves asap.

It’s hard to see and disappointing from the league. But you can see it here on Linnehan’s jersey. I’m not sure it’s super visible on any of the jerseys this year unless you look closely.

They did wear rainbow numbers! This year it seems the league went with numbers outlined in rainbow colours rather than a full rainbow number. If you look closely at the Thorns jerseys (and the jerseys from other Pride matches) you will see the rainbow colours.

Any idea on where Fleming is?

It takes a lot to get Jessie this riled up so something definitely happened.

"[Jessie Fleming has] given me a lot of confidence these past few weeks.. She's been great. She told me, ‘I give you license to just be yourself, and whoever the outside back is, just take them."

In the first half, Jessie Fleming was 4/5 on dribbles and 8/12 on duels (leading the Thorns in both categories). She was also 2/2 on tackles

Her hand got slapped/hit around the 73:57 minute.

If you look at the 73:57 minute you can see her hand gets slapped by a Bay player. It looks really painful.

Ashley Lawrence's assist from this morning!

New coach? New kits? 👀

Any idea if the Thorns will be making some trades before the season starts?

Ashley Lawrence's second assist!

NEWS: 🤘🇨🇦 Holly Ward is doing pre-season with Racing Louisville as a non-roster invitee.

The 21-year-old Canadian winger was a standout for the Texas Longhorns over four seasons in Austin (91 apps, 17G/13A).

Tireless player, always moving, would never give up. A graduate of the Whitecaps academy.

This past week, the WSL recommenced, Canadians inched closer to silverware in Portugal, and two #CanWNT / #CanXNT stars returned home. @brylaura1.bsky.social catches you up on last week’s action here! 👇🏻

I don't *hate* the colours but the name is still kinda meh. It just feels a bit dated (it could be retro in a good way if you squint I guess?)

Vanessa Gilles is named in the Guardian’s 100 best female football players for 2024. She comes in at 66th and is so far the only Canadian on the list. More than deserved but probably should have been a little higher if you ask me.

at some point i should probably start using this.
