As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

I wrote about Infantino’s love of despots years ago but that peace prize is such a shameless example of what he is and what he wants to do with the sport

Play the Tshabalala goal on a loop for the next seven months.
For a culture obsessed with reboots, remakes, and nostalgia, it's only right to open the World Cup like it's 2010: Mexico versus South Africa.

By drawing Australia, the U.S. can't get any other Asian team in its group. That certainly reduces the political pressure.

#USMNT draws Australia first, will play them in their second Group D game on June 19 in Seattle. The Americans beat the Socceroos 2-1 in a World Cup tuneup in October.

If the #USMNT wins Group D and Belgium wins Group G, they would be on a collision course in the Round of 16 (if they win their respective Round of 32 knockout games).

On the day of the World Cup draw, I beg people to consider the harm the tournament is going to do to so many people. The most vulnerable people in the host cities are going to suffer so much just because of some soccer, FIFA money laundering and Trump mugging for the camera.
