That was incredible, wasn’t it? She had a great day out there.

I didn’t think KO mentioned anything about the the White House? Pinoe, Morgan (boyyyy did that piss off some bros), and Krieger did. Allie Long was the one who dropped the flag, actually! Pinoe was just next to her, but that was close enough.

I absolutely love Murrena. Love them.

I’m banned on DS under this handle for criticizing AJ too hard 😬

Oh yeah they have. And I understand people don’t follow the team as closely as I do, but there was never any question about KO. It’s fucking hilarious.

They watched enough to crown Kelley O’Hara as their new soccer queen all because she picked up a flag a second after it was dropped.

Of course I make an even-keeled comment as Konta choked that match away. Serena will play Barbora Strycova in the semifinal, who has never beaten her. Can’t chalk it off as a W for Serena just yet but I like her odds.

The draw has certainly cleared out, but Halep and Konta are the only two left who could really give her trouble. Halep she’d meet in the final, though. Konta, in the potential semifinal, has the edge with the crowd since she’s a Brit. Of course, all of these women have to get there first.

Aight gotcha. I (obviously) forgot some of the verbiage/timeline and intricacies, but my god I just want her to play ASAP. It looks like she’s a lock for the next cycle at the very least.

Yes, so she can become a citizen next year is what you said? USSF has to petition FIFA to make her eligible to play at that time. Otherwise, she’s waiting until she’s 23 when she’ll meet both qualifications. She’s 19 right now.

+1 for mononymous

Yeah. There was an issue of which she could get first because she hadn’t been living in the US for the requisite number of years yet. I just know she’s holding out for whichever comes first to get her chance with the USWNT senior team. I liked what little I saw of her playing with the U-23 team in preseason (not to…

Is it next year for Macario? I thought she had to wait a little longer than that. Hmm. I wonder if it could happen before the Olympics. She’d be a great alternate.

Lol I been knew about KO. I was hoping for something from the other couple, but it’s their lives and I’m owed nothing.

Definitely some players coming out.

Support the NWSL! All 23 of these champions play stateside. The NWSL just signed a tv deal with ESPN for the rest of the season and Budweiser is now an official sponsor. Not everyone in the league are allocated by USSF, in fact, bunned goddess Ali Krieger isn’t even allocated and she subbed in for an injured Kelley…

I’m reluctant to speculate on Nick’s mental health. But I think everyone has seen a bored kid who would act outand then buckle down once they found an interest. Idk, tennis doesn’t make him happy and he doesn’t like tennis. I wish he’d take a break for a bit and maybe rediscover his passion.

I caught some of Venus and Tiafoe’s mixed doubles match. I watched all of Serena and Andy’s. They’re both forces to be reckoned with! And what an honor for Tiafoe.

Rafa handled business today, no?

Then question becomes: well how big of a loss? The women not medaling in Rio was a big loss. Nothing changed structurally (beyond the women negotiating their contracts and CBA). The men completely missing the World Cup last year was embarrassing. No changes beyond a new USSF president who won’t do shit all different…
