Confirming what we mostly knew, Meredith Speck, the longest-tenured Courage player, moves on. Her time dated all the way to the WNY Flash.

Speck herself shared more on IG: www.instagram.com/p/DUqgu6eDfqL/

On the @xowngoals.com Patreon, there's a 7+ minute NWSL Media Day video with Riley Jackson, going into:

- Her role by the end of the year
- Risk vs. reward in the passes she plays
- Different passes to different players
- "I want to be more lethal in the attack"

My favorite part about the Courage town hall was learning they were trying to announce the Ashley Sanchez signing for 4 weeks but she was afraid her hair would freeze for the photo shoot so they kept pushing it back. ❄️😂

All I'm saying here is that there's a strong air from white collar people like we're not supposed to be disrupted. That's for blue collar folks. But we're not special. We never have been. Just lucky. And eventually your luck runs out. Capitalism comes for everybody eventually.

You know, actually, I have already spent enough of my life watching Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teräväinen get embarrassed outshooting the opponent while still ending up with a brutal loss

Despite the reduced playing time due to Shaw/Sanchez/Manaka congestion, and missing time with an injury, Sanchez was still very productive.

She actually posted a higher xG+xA per game in 2025 than in 2024.

Good to see both her and the team commit for another year.

I feel like if you're going to ice dance to The Offspring, you should at least respect the source material enough and not down-tempo it.

So many athletes have spoken out.

But arguably the most vocal team in 21st century American sport, the US women's national team, has gone silent.

What gives? Well... @838carlisle.bsky.social has the most interesting piece I've read this morning.

Take a look:

Google AI television commercial suggests you should ask Gemini how ski jumpers fly so far and I really do hope they've kept its training up to date on current reporting.

God, for the millionth fucking time. We had it right before.

School/rec: Play with who you want
NCAA: Need doctor's note
Pro/Olympic: Blood testing for T levels

It worked. It was fair.

Notes from the Courage's preseason roster

- This closes the door for now on the returns of Tyler Lussi and Meredith Speck. Speck in particular was the last link to the WNY Flash on the roster.

- Manaka is listed as a midfielder, consistent with NWSL awards 😉

- Four NRIs, primarily on defense

In looking for an updated NC preseason roster and full coaching staff, I noticed that the not-yet-updated roster page has now been retitled to "2025 roster", to go with the delisted staff page.

I'm beginning to wonder just how much of a pain in the ass the SoccerShift CMS is to update.

The Courage add some veteran midfield depth from new coach Mak Lind's old team.

This leaves the Courage roster at 25, with one international slot still open. (Wickenheiser was born in the US and does not require a slot.)
Welcoming Wickenheiser 👋

We have acquired Canadian international Carly Wickenheiser via permanent transfer from Swedish club BK Häcken and signed the midfielder through the 2027.
