Emma Hayes Match Day-1 Press Conference | USWNT vs. Portugal | 10.25.2025 YouTube video by U.S. Soccer

The entire presser is short and worth sharing, but I asked about how the conversations the fed has with players starting families. The answer is worth a listen. Start at the 10:20 mark. Also, this will always make me sad for the Syds and JMacs, who didn't get this.

Fantastic question!!! Thanks so much for answering it!!!

How badly I wish it were an eye poke

It’s so odd!

Omg don’t joke!

hey man, deb abiodun is ridiculous

Thank you!! Always appreciate you being there! 🤞🤞🤞

Any word on Tara and Kysha?

Perhaps over watering? It’s so weird! So much slipping! Emma Hayes will want that addressed in the next couple of weeks!

Yeah definitely agree. The Kysha injury was definitely to the field. But Subaru park appears to be grass.

Thank you! I couldn’t tell if it was cleat or turf or combo. Much better for injury risk to be cleat drag!

Fuck turf

This is such a good chart!

AND All Things Go!!

HOLY SPIRITS

Entering today the calendar said Sunday but now it says Monday.

I don’t make the rules. She does.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Thank you!!!

On the broadcast it appeared to be foot. That was what she received treatment on after the first collision. Then she was stepped on again before she went off.

Jason Kelce’s wife who has a huge following. She played field hockey in college and coaches it now. She has a massive podcast that knocked Joe Rogan off of #1 when it started. Big advocate for autism research and women’s sports!

Bend It Like Beckham follow-up in pipeline more than 20 years after original film was released More than two decades after the release of Bend It Like Beckham, writer and director Gurinder Chadha OBE has announced she is planning to revive the hugely popular story

"BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM follow-up in pipeline" is the headline I did not know I needed today but I am extremely grateful to have (!!!)

Oh awesome — I missed that. Thanks so much for the fast response!

Question! Why is Gabrielle Carle not one of the INTL spots (at least according to Spotrac)?

This is one of the things that shocked me when I started following women’s soccer. The lack of investment into reporters makes following the support harder to access which is worse for the game! The reporters who do exist are great! We need news orgs to invest in them!!
