Both US goals tonight have been insane but this is some stuff you pull when FIFA is on easy mode.
We could get used to this

I finally tracked down a pair of datasets and put them together. This is Deloitte’s 2025 valuation of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, and Forbes’s 2025 valuation of NWSL.

Kansas City Current’s estimated annual revenue is bigger than Barcelona & Chelsea combined.

Are you suffering from #WOSO withdrawal? Are you looking for a game with a local angle to get you through the long holiday weekend? Check out our preview of the international matches featuring Washington Spirit and DC Power players.
International Preview: Spirit and DC Power Players Called Up For Their Countries
Are you feeling local soccer withdrawal with D.C. United, the Spirit, and Loudoun done for the year and D.C. Power off until December 6th? Well, you’re in luck. The final international window of the year is about to kick open and features 13 matches with 10 local players. The games are spread across what is traditionally a long holiday weekend for Americans.

Ted and I both love Benteke on a TAM deal if it’s possible.
As expected, D.C. United declines Christian Benteke’s contract option, making him a free agent, but “we remain in discussions regarding a potential return.”

DCU also declines options on Kristian Fletcher, Randall Leal, Derek Dodson and Rida Zouhir but in talks with Fletcher.
November 26, 2025 at 3:22 PM
Appears there are some personal issues between him and the club driving that drop off... that sure worked great last time! #DCU
Perfect:

This year, his production has fallen off, with just 1 goal and 5 assists across all competitions.
November 26, 2025 at 3:53 AM
Oh? #DCU
Wednesday deadline looms for inactive MLS teams to decide on contract options. Many have already announced their decisions. D.C United has not.

I would expect DCU to decline Christian Benteke’s option and try to negotiate a non-DP deal. He turns 35 next week. 2025 salary: $4.5 million.
November 26, 2025 at 1:34 AM
If this guy was 21. Sure, take him on a U-22. But as a DP and your Benteke replacement, no less? Not confidence inspiring to say the least... #DCU

And now the long boring winter has fully begun.

#ThatsTheSpirit made two straight finals all while battling through significant injuries. Rodman this year, Bethune last year. Pretty incredible, and ultra devastating to come up short twice...

Gotham basically executed the same game plan. No team in these playoffs effectively figures out how to break them down... #ThatsTheSpirit made the one mistake and that's that...
November 23, 2025 at 3:19 AM
Here we are! Spirit vying for their second title! Same lineup as last week. Trinity on the bench. #ThatsTheSpirit

Agree with this, but also think the NWSL is also being even dumber by not figuring out how to pay one of their most marketable stars.
This kind of dumb stuff is exactly what this ownership does.

Their idea of investment is signing a big name and assuming everyone will come despite doing literally nothing else but signing the big name.

See: Rooney, Wayne.
Need to be clear this is a completely different view for me if it had been Tampa Bay or Dallas that offered Rodman this deal, I could grasp and understand the audacity

DCU/Power’s ownership group has never shown any signs of being a serious operation that would fund this team the way it should
November 20, 2025 at 8:58 PM
The call is coming from inside the house...
DC Power of the Gainbridge Super League have extended an offer for free agent Trinity Rodman that the NWSL can't currently match due to the salary cap.

Jessica Berman: "We want Trinity in the NWSL and we will fight for her."
