Patron saint of assists

oh how i love watching two gotham fc bangers live and in person 🤩

The build up was just as pretty as the finish 👏

Damn.

#NWSL

nealy AND stevens?? it’s like christmas all over again for gotham fc fans 🤩

spain without the s about gotham fc losing maitane,, chicago got a good one :(

Want to protect women’s sports? Cool. Welcome. You can start with narrowing the gender pay gap, move on to ensuring that sports medicine isn’t based on generic male bodies, then come back to us on pay to play. You know does fuck all to protect women in sports? Attacking trans people.

sheehan leaving gotham fc is the most gut wrenching news, she’s been such a steadfast baller for us and i’m so sad to see her go,, but stoked to see her help grow the houston dash :(

also, you can tell that yazmeen ryan has been attending the lynn williams school of assists

final uswnt thoughts until next time: naeher is retiring as the best keeper in the world, lynn williams is good at soccer, sonnett is important to a solid defense, and hal, yaz, thompson, and yohannes are the future.

not a fan of the dutch supporters booing every time yohannes touches the ball

pausing the uswnt echo chamber for a second to celebrate that jess fishlock and wales are going to their first EVER international competitive competition!!!! absolutely massive for a player like fishlock who’s been grinding her whole career for this chance :)

once again, sam ‘tank’ coffey at your service

naomi girma and alyssa naeher: the united states department of defense

i speak for everyone when i say that i’m LOVING the way this midfield feels now

emma hayes’ has an incredible ability to make incredibly effective subs for the uswnt through these rougher games and it’s so freeing from the way we felt during vlatko-ball

the gotham connection of yaz to lynn is a beautiful thing

I LOVE LYNN LAUGH LEG SLEEVE SO MUCH

now THAT is a perfect naeher save that only she could do, continuing to carry the uswnt through tough games

damn near a full midfield reset for the uswnt, i’m excited to see how this goes

YES ITS ALMOST LILY TIME!!!!

sonnett is seemingly becoming a consistent starter/piece for the uswnt for the first time in a long time and i, for one, am ECSTATIC about that

has reese perked up yet

Sonnett and Lynn save us

the soccer gods want lily to come off the uswnt bench and score against the netherlands to rub insult to injury

remember when i said having albert on the field seemed like the uswnt had two horan’s? i stand by that and it is not a compliment rn

lynn and sonnett?? i’ll take it

emma please give me lily and casey and sams and hal and sears and lynn-laugh-leg sleeve

the uswnt wanted to give naeher a proper send off, making her throw her body around as much as (in)humanly possible

it’s giving frat boy sonnett taking 69 games to score her first goal for the uswnt
