text on a blue background that says "coffey for nwsl best xi" in the same style as the "mamdani for nyc" signs

4.5 more hours to vote sam coffey for nwsl best xi! she's been the heart and soul of the thorns this year and one of the best defensive midfielders in the league #BAONPDX

can i confess that i'm a big jess park fan? she's just so fun to watch

"Coffey is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world -- an opinion widely shared by technical staff members across the NWSL -- and she isn't even an official finalist for the award?" #BAONPDX

thank you for making me feel not insane, jeff kassouf 🙏🙏🙏

When you find out Sam Coffey isn't on the list for midfielder of the year

ok crash out over i promise! i feel less insane now because people agree with me that she was snubbed for not just moty but lowkey also mvp :)

Same take here, and also had Coffey in my *MVP* Top 5.

For me Coffey was a slam dunk for Midfielder, and was on my MVP shortlist.

I genuinely do not think the Thorns make the playoffs if her season was even 10% worse (i.e. merely great) than it was. Thorns defensive set-up for half the season was to shrug and hope Coffey took care of it.

In the preliminary round of voting, players, owners, general managers, coaches and the media voted on individual awards to determine the finalists. The preliminary round used a weighted scale, broken down by players (50%), owners/GMs/coaches (25%) and media (25%). The finalists for 2025 NWSL Awards are below: Most Valuable Player, presented by AT&T: Delphine Cascarino (SD), Temwa Chawinga (KC), Esther González (GFC), Manaka Matsukubo (NC), Bia Zaneratto (KC) Defender of the Year: Jordyn Bugg (SEA), Tara McKeown (WAS), Avery Patterson (HOU), Izzy Rodriguez (KC), Kayla Sharples (KC) Goalkeeper of the Year, presented by e.l.f.: Ann-Katrin Berger (GFC), Claudia Dickey (SEA), Lorena (KC) Midfielder of the Year: Kenza Dali (SD), Debinha (KC), Claire Hutton (KC), Manaka Matsukubo (NC), Olivia Moultrie (POR) Rookie of the Year, presented by Ally: Maddie Dahlien (SEA), Lilly Reale (GFC), Riley Tiernan (LA) Coach of the Year: Vlatko Andonovski (KC), Adrian Gonzalez (WAS), Beverly Yanez (LOU) The final round of voting uses a weighted scale of players (40%), owners/GMs/coaches (25%), media (25%) and fans (10%).

#NWSL awards season shenanigans is an annual tradition, and the Midfielder of the Year shortlist having NEITHER Taylor Flint NOR Sam Coffey is egregious, baffling stuff.

SAM COFFEY WAS FUCKING ROBBED BUT I WILL BE VOTING HER IN FOR BEST XI AND I TRUST YOU ALL WILL DO THE SAME

WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK I FEEL FUCKING INSANE

ok please allow me a safe space to crash out for the next five minutes

Captain Sam Coffey, a woman of few words 🫡

This is what it means:

Sam Coffey has fully taken the mantle of “hard-nosed and brilliant d-mid at Providence Park”. What a game from the skipper. #BAONPDX

Sam Coffey has been tremendous. One of the best midfield performances I’ve seen this season in the NWSL.

No coincidence that this buildup was Coffey->Fleming->Moultrie. Portland is knocking on the door of the #NWSL semifinals.

THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS

Coffey at the end of regulation: 2 chances created, 9 tackles, 3 interceptions, 13 recoveries, 11/14 duels.

Immense.

Sam clapping to teammates

5 minutes of added time before we head to overtime

Sam Coffey has been immense: 7 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 7/9 duels in the first half.

A stalemate at the half, both teams with just one shot on target.
