She missed out on EPICENTHER though!

Have you run this by ChatGPT?

Her semifinal goal against San Diego remains one of my favorite Thorns goals ever. Maybe favorite soccer goal period.

I was reading how the USWNT is a nonprofit chartered by the US government, but (importantly) not controlled or funded by the feds. It would be cool, (though I presume impossible), for example, for the Spirit to be run by the “DC Soccer Federation” which could behave independently as a nonprofit.

Would you say this is kinda a good summary of the teams in general?

Wait is this a joke? I’m just a kid

Well it wasn’t related.

Has anyone mentioned that Portland has a new USL-W team called the Cherry Bombs? Maybe ACFC is poaching someone from them?

Fantastic!!!

Hope this doesn’t give MLS Agoos any ideas

One more HIP CB would be great.

And also low for the team with the highest average attendance in the league? And certainly higher than many of the top WSL clubs

I definitely remember the complaining but not the exact 52%, lol.

Lol he actually said we were at 52% cap?

Which means the Thorns managed to secure a #3 finish and a semi-final with only ~60% of the available salary cap. (Not to mention like 75 SEIs.) Pretty scrappy!

It’s just core day so I think this will be plenty. Thank you!!

Phew! I was hoping this would drop before I went to the gym 😂😅

Wild that we are already thinking starting lineups... with SOPH!!!

Well I never, that looks a whole lot like Arizona.

It certainly doesn’t erase all the terrible things happening in the world, but I’m pretty sure we are in for some good Thorns news.

Maybe the most above-board approach would be to have her salary scale proportionally with the media rights deal.

Thank you, I love breathing!

Nobody, I just want to brace myself 😅

Can you at least tell us how sad we're about to be?

Hmmm... seems like splitting hairs. Would also be great to see a board of people who know what to do when a player collapses on the field or a player goes on Fox News to make transphobic and racist remarks...

I genuinely don't understand. Aren't most of these owners? Aren't owners already on the board?

Someone's gotta do the hard work around here.

Agree. I also don't think Soph has long nails right now

I bet the simulation doesn't include a calculation of goal differential, only win/loss probability

Or even actual goals allowed per post-shot expected goals against. That seems like it would be a pretty solid measure of shot stopping ability?
