    NWSL 2024

    Good and necessary move by Portland. And they need some good news now that they've started the season unexpectedly in the cellar with 0 points. It's fun to watch Sophia explode in that offense. Totally brutal news about Margaret. Can't believe she's got another long injury recovery. I wonder...

    NWSL 2024

    That was a fun and tough Gotham - Thorns matchup. Two beautiful goals but unfortunately for Portland theirs got called back for offsides. The home crowd SLIGHTLY disliked the call, first time they have ever seen their team lose the home opener. Hope President Margaret is okay. Gotham dealing...

    NWSL 2024

    I only got to catch some replays but Alyssa had a great game in goal. Was glad to see the new stadium in KC kicked off with a win and a very entertaining 5-4 tally for the fans who were there for the sellout. I’m curious if the KC “we’re threatening to move the team if we don’t get public money...

    NWSL 2024

    That's cool, didn't catch that yet! If there were one athlete's career I could wish to change in terms of injury over the last 20 years, it would probably be Sam. I think the USWNT was very affected by her loss and it would have been a lot of fun to see her play a full career.

    NWSL 2024

    We’ve got a general women’s soccer thread and a USWNT thread but I thought I’d start one for this NWSL season, kicking off this weekend. We’re very lucky to be returning Gotham season ticket holders and will be enjoying some reasonable weather at about 50 tonight for the challenge cup game with...

    The Big Come Back? USWNT post-WC ‘23

    Fantastic supercut. So absurd and unnecessarily dangerous that they didn’t delay the game to push the water off the field like they did at halftime (which seemed to improve things).

    The Big Come Back? USWNT post-WC ‘23

    I’m pleased that Alex is not on this roster. I don’t doubt she’ll be back at some point but USWNT needs to move on from her as a starter. She’s lost a step or two and I also don’t see her play style fitting anymore except as a sub.

    Push The Doors Open: The Women’s Game, post-World Cup ‘23

    In other news, things are looking amazing for Gotham FC in 2024. Is there a better starting club roster in the world than this?

    Push The Doors Open: The Women’s Game, post-World Cup ‘23

    A massive loss for soccer. This would have gotten even more attention if she hadn't been out for years already without much more information available. Regardless, we're talking about a player who was statistically the best player at the 2019 World Cup...

    Women's Soccer

    That’s my team!! Gotham FC with the magical worst to first year. So fun to watch them from the stands all year in 2033.

    2023-24 NBA Game Thread

    Totally agree that was probably incorrect and very fun to watch -- I think it was the home broadcast where they were saying something like, "to be fair to the refs, they're making a call on something they've never seen before with Victor."

    2023-24 NBA Game Thread

    That was a fun game. Two blocks on the same play back to back was pretty. Going to be watching a lot of Spurs games this year.

    2023-24 Celtics

    A couple thoughts last night thinking about 22-23: -There were two or three times when Tatum got fouled driving and then immediately started his plea to the refs only to find that they were already calling the foul. In my opinion he was complaining too much in the past but also was not getting...

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    Jrue was until today my favorite active player who had never been a Celtic. I liked Rob and loved Marcus. But this is a significantly better team than in June. Also I read through the thread but not sure it was mentioned: How often does the NBA team with (now) the best odds to win the finals...
