Unfortunately, negative news on the injury front as well, Stoney says to @risehigher.ca's @brylaura1.bsky.social:

- Simi Awujo is currently recovering from a torn MCL, and is absent due to return to play
- Kadeisha Buchanan won't be back "anytime soon; she's had a setback."

#CanWNT/#CanXNT

On playing against some of Canada's best young players: This was a really cool experience for me... What I want to say is, good job on them, because it's hard. They're 16-, 17-, 18-year-olds, and you come in and it's an intimidating environment, and I think they did great, honestly. They were very disciplined, they were not easy to play against, they were not easy to break down. And I think for a Canadian, there's a little bit of pride in that to see them competing so hard against us. On what Rise Academy's performance and the NSL says about the growth of women's soccer in Canada: Honestly, I feel like [the quality] always been there. I think it was more a question of getting those structures in place. When I was younger, I didn't have a league to look up to, and I had to come to the United States. I'm not complaining about it. I had a great experience [at FSU], and I'm here now, and I think it's because of that, of where I went and what I did. But I think now, these younger players, having something to look up to in Canada, I think there's a motivation there to stay in the sport, and to push to make those professional teams. And it's a really exciting time.

Didn't have a place to put this but after Spirit-Rise Academy last night, #CanWNT/#CanXNT defender Gabby Carle was really happy with what she saw out of a team full of potential future Canada players:

Thanks to Annabelle for chatting with me! It was a great conversation and I really look forward to seeing where her career takes her!

I have a sinking feeling that Freeland is about to be Campbell’d and I don’t love that

Lydia Bedford's unique role in Canada's new women's league It is not often you get to move to another country, lead an entirely new football team and make history on your first day in the job.

But that's what Lydia Bedford has been given the opportunity to do. I spoke to the new Calgary Wild manager. ✍️👇

It’s my first full week of working after being on short term disability for five weeks and while I am excited, I am also preemptively tired.

🚨 HUGE AFC TORONTO SIGNING

Emma Regan becomes the first current #CanWNT / #CanXNT player to arrive in the #NSL, choosing AFCT.

A bit surprised she didn’t end up back home in Vancouver, so this is quite a big deal. Toronto’s building a great roster.

The ball numbers for tomorrow’s Women’s FA Cup fourth round draw below. This is when WSL teams enter the competition. Draw live on YouTube from 19:00 GMT.

Holders Manchester United are number 10. WSL champions Chelsea are 4. Last season’s finalists Tottenham are 11.

Nice, I’m jealous! Just finished 81 😂

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please share. Picture of library aisle filled with books.

It’s been years since I’ve first seen it, but Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones remains one of the creepiest and most haunting performances I’ve ever seen.

Agreed! Love the snow for Christmas.

I am what they call predictable

Excited for #CanWNT/#CanXNT match day - hoping to see more debuts and meaningful minutes for some younger players.

One thing I really dislike about Ontario humidity is how, in the winter, you just live in the cold. You go outside for half an hour and your legs are still cold three hours later. It lives in your bones.

I kinda want to bid so I can hook you into a chat about The Shades of London for an hour ;)

What if it's a picture taken from the sky? Austria, 2016, whilst paragliding. :)

Digesting heavy topics alongside brilliant/strong/opinionated women with the requisite amount of humour+candour is my FAVOURITE.

@shireenahmed.bsky.social:🙏for your unique, thoughtful +informed POV
@clarerustad: Grateful for your acerbic wit+anodyne pallor
@rhirhi8: miss u♥️!

I’m so sad. It makes me sick.

Absolutely horrifying. I had heard multiple rumours about workplace toxicity, but sexual harassment? Astounding.

I’m reading Jane Eyre for the first time, and it’s incredibly heartbreaking. Easy to see why it’s a classic.

I’m not going to rehash the details here because I’ve had enough of a discussion on X, but if you’re a #CanWNT fan, go buy the Globe and Mail today.

I think the @canwnt.bsky.social roster is solid for this coming window, and I hope we see some debuts. I’ve been wanting to place Iceland for forever, so I’m excited.

I want to do something fun on here to make it different from Twitter - should I post every book I’ve read this year? There’s a lot 😂

This site is really an odd mix of Twitter's purpose with Tumblr's interface and it's confusing my brain

I feel more tumblr than twitter on here
