The ESPN aspect will play a bigger role next year when they’re expected to move to ESPN2 from ESPNNews. They have to increase their woso coverage during a world cup year. Even ESPNW doesn’t cover the NWSL with the same attention and care like it does the WNBA. National team coverage notwithstanding, ESPN needs to do…

Yes. That second paragraph is spot on.

Holy shit you get it. You really fucking get it. I wish I wasn’t in the greys so I could take your post out of the greys.

Honestly they could’ve used Huerta in midfield.

Leticia is Brazil’s GK. So yeah, corny.

Gotta love Pinoe.

I thought Rose Lavelle was excellent last night, but she’s so damn injury prone. And that’s the problem. Jill’s current starting front three, plus Mal Pugh, and then Lavelle and Morgan Brian in the midfield are all so injury prone. And she’s determined to run them into the ground (also Kelley O’Hara, who’s been out for…

Even with all its fuckery we need the NWSL to survive. Not just for the next gen of Americans but the internationals, too. If it takes MLS subsidizing the league then so be it. (Although Pugh and Sullivan need a different coach for their team.)

You’re welcome! I got into darts this past year and it is kinda confusing at first. Btw the guy who hit the 9 darter (Gary Anderson) ended up winning this tournament.

I love Press, but she’s being misused on the NT. She’s being misused in Utah at the moment, too. I know it’s consideres outdated, but a 4-4-2 could be the best way to get the best creatives (Pinoe, Heath, Press) and the best strikers (Morgan, Press) on the pitch all at once. Plus they all work well together. Plug in…

Pugh needs to work on the ball though. I like her, and she can get in behind defenses, but there’s that gap in technical ability between her someone like Press, who is what I think Pugh could be if she had more polish. The difference being, Pugh is getting the playtime on the national stage at a younger age than Press…

In case you didn’t know, they have to score exactly 501 points to win the leg and they must go out on a double. So after hitting six consecutive treble 20s (which is the greatest point value on the board making a 180 the most you can score per 3-throw turn) Anderson only needed 141 points to check out. So he hit a…

This was exactly what I thought, too. I felt Croatia’s first goal was a direct result of that yellow on Kante. Without it, he might’ve been more willing to close down Perisic before he scored. I mean, there’s always of a risk of fouling inside the box and giving a penalty (especially in this age of VAR), but it seemed…

Yes. Serve and a forehand is the bulk of his game. And if he plays another big server, who is also just a serve and a forehand, it just drags on and on until a servebot finally malfunctions.

Don’t put that voodoo on my favorite chair ump Marija.

Three actually. Kandy broke. Then Isner broke back. Then they both held, I think. And then Kandy broke to take the set.

I feared you had taken the buyout since you had fuck all to say about your favorite player’s QF loss to Kevin Anderson.

This is really good. I wish DS had more content like this on women’s sports. Thank you.

You would’ve been more correct before Boston and FCKC folded. All that turnover in the off-season was hard to keep track of, unfortunately.
