I am so mad at the Brazilian fed for wasting her international career.

Dear god, they might actually drop points to Jamaica.

I know she’s got a million individual awards but...she should have a title. she’s the best woso’s ever had and she doesn’t have a title because she plays for a trash-ass fed that won’t pay them attention or hold friendlies or training camps. not that I’ll ever root for Brazil when the US is still in a tournament but…

You don’t see soccer/track/basketball/tennis athletes in helmets and pads, baseball players hardly wear helmets except to squat or swing, hockey players in helmets/pads literally need a cold enough environment for ice to stay solid.

Ooh, that’s bold. Although if Marta really is out vs. Jamaica...I’m a little torn between wanting to see that underdog story and wanting Marta to go out with a little more dignity.

those would both have been interesting!

yeah, I was really apprehensive when the “Jane the... of the Man of the House” title screen came up. one of the best things about JtV is how rarely we see toxic male bullshit. it could’ve been a lot worse but the whole plotline was not fun.

It really didn’t help that the combination of the Jane+Jorge conversation and him tattling to Alba made him look like such a bitch. Really, you’re going to stand there and pretend you’re totally happy to make some changes for your stepgrandson’s sake, then run off to your wife to fix it?

-Xo’s cancer-free! Xo’s cancer-free! Xo’s cancer-free! HOORAY! My heart is glad they only faked us out with one telemarketer call before showing the doctor’s call.

Shout-out to the fourth season of Fresh Off the Boat, in which Eddie’s best friend/neighbor Nicole came out (shortly after wondering why all her friends would ditch a Jodie Foster movie to hang out with boys). It involves a lesbian bar called the Denim Turtle, Melissa Etheridge, Jessica’s continual gay-blindness,…

I now need Tig to guest star on a revival of DTTB. Hey, Ritter’s free again!

!!! One Mississippi was amazing.

Why is Sam Kerr pissed at Norway?

I wouldn’t be stunned if Nigeria managed to upset 0 Hegerbergs-Norway. don’t expect it, but wouldn’t be stunned.

Some day, GodAkers willing, we’ll go to there.

IIRC DoD also offers college scholarships in a similar setup to service academies, where they pay tuition and then expect summer internships/~5 years’ work after graduation.

I would love to see an Algarve-style setup with the NWSL, Japan, England, France, Sweden, Germany champions + UWCL finalists (whichever Euro league has finalists gets their next best team qualified). I don’t think Japan can keep up- you don’t see top foreigners going there to play like Henry or Kerr to the NWSL, or…

if Trebek’s cancer really is being managed well (let’s all hope), you know he’ll want to see an Ultimate TOC with Holzhauer soon.

Lyon are the best women’s team in the world, and it’s not even close.
