@xowngoals.com Announcing Rushton as GM of Columbus is the most absurb announcement in the NWSL since the announcement of Lucy Rushton as GM of Bay FC.

@xowngoals.com Asked how was she building the roster and style of play, her answer was "In one word - Barcelona" She had NO knowledge of the women's game and the women's soccer culture in the U.S. She had no knowledge of the wider U.S. player pool. A disaster, which has gotten worse under KayC.

@xowngoals.com Her draft picks were bad and her expansion picks were bad. There is NOTHING she did that was just ok. She lasted less than 1/2 a season; an unprecedented move for any GM in any pro sport. Montoya was a Santa Clara alum; tied to the founders (and Abby, her youth coach).

@xowngoals.com You guys are sorely uninformed about Rushton. She was a disaster from Day 1. Things changed when she left, as Matt Potter took over and Abby Dahlkemper was signed. I can telk you I was a NO for Oshoala and DeynaC Day 1. Kundananji was transferred for $850k and signed for $500k/4yrs

NEWS: Elon Musk personally ordered the slowdown of Starlink. Russia was able to target civilians as a result. Meanwhile, Trump is snapping at reporters in the Oval Office as Republicans are rebuking his Russia policy. Oh, and FEMA head just told states they are on their own during disasters.

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Spain already felt like the obvious front-runner for the 2027 Women's World Cup next summer; this week reinforces that idea. At the same time, some doubts raised about the USWNT's credentials, though they absolutely remain among the favourites.

@xowngoals.com now is the time to voice your rich, white, man/woman expression, exercising their supremacy to satisfy their ego.

THIS 👇 HERE.......

This is what Trump did on 9/11.

@xowngoals.com Laney Rouse is the consummate right back, with 5 years experience at UVA, and u20 play. She should be in the NT player pool.

@soccerwisehq.bsky.social Carducci has been Orlando's GM since January 2026. And before that, she was KCC GM for 18 months. Prior to that, she had no responsibility with the technical side at any level of any soccer club, at any level. Operations and communications are her specialty.

@soccerwisehq.bsky.social All coaches get fired. Winning is the only criteria for coaching success, whether you're a good coach or not. Hines hadn't had to deal with the adversity of Banda being out; until this year. Good coaches figure things out to stop the bleeding.

@soccerwisehq.bsky.social Hines had Haley Carter constructing the roster, who brought in Banda for the 2024 season. She's an elite world class player who carried the franchise, despite the coach. Banda was playing in China before that. She and the Chawinga sisters left China at the same time.

@soccerwisehq.bsky.social seb Hines pedigree? He was an assistant for 1.5 seasons under Amanda Cromwell. He wasn't a lead assistant. He wasn't part of her associates who were fired. Before that, he coached boys for OC. He came into the HC job at Pride with no head coaching experience at any level.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

Aid chief tells UN that US-backed Board of Peace is 'failing' Gaza www.middleeasteye.net/news/aid-chi...

🚨AMERICANS PAY ATTENTION🚨 Yeah, Americans pay attention. You know your president lies, and you should take this into strong consideration when heading to the ballot box in November.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

@xowngoals.com 3rddegree.net/hamid-strike... Onyeka Gamero is a trialist for Dallas Trinity FC. They already have a strong front 4 in their 4-2-3-1 formation, led by Jasmine Hamid, Seven Castain, Lexi Missimo (possibly on the move), Ally Cook, Cam Lancaster, Sofia Cedeno, and 3 others.

While Trump rails against U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants, his Florida properties have become a playground for birth tourists from Russia’s upper crust.

@xowngoals.com Bebar playing better than Hutton over the last 3 games

@xowngoals.com different game same player Sentnor = Fuller. Bay already realizes Fuller can't distribute from the middle. Already dispossessed. The field isn't wide enough for her.

@xowngoals.com let's see a replay of that Sentnor move in the box.

@xowngoals.com Legeyre from Duke; one of Rader's teammates. Suarez from FSU. Both with YNT experience. Expected! Rader and Legeyre were prolific scorers from Florida - competitors. Both on Duke; one had to move back to DM

@xowngoals.com with Rouse out, and Bravo-Young out, it seema like Sentnor should easily be able to beat Scott (very low soccer IQ).

@xowngoals.com Sentnor immediately loses the ball, AND FLOPS

@xowngoals.com Laney Rouse is the consummate right back. She's fast; tenacious 1v1 defender; get's up the pitch and crosses; very high soccer IQ. 5 years playing right back at UVA under a legendary coach; extensive YNT experience. Should be considered for tge NT player pool.

pca.st/episode/da99... Jeffries Must resign. No @aipac.org money should be leading any party

@xowngoals.com Treore SCORED a 2nd goal (in her mind). Her touch didn't go as planned. And that double leg kick was epic!

@xowngoals.com Eric, you've mentioned your bias against white men in power, which I agree with. But it goes much further, and is accurate to say white people; both in power and with overall privilege: Sentnor and Sears have failed (club & country), but are given yet another chance. Dudley & Turner!

@xowngoals.com who would have thought, Evan? Tordin selected as a midfielder for the u23 YNT. Nevermind she has 2 quality Brazilian feet and can control the ball with either, pass, and get assists...and goals!

@xowngoals.com No Surprise Here! Madison Haley selected to the next USWNT u23 camp in Brazil. Maddie is back!!!!

@xowngoals.com My instinct from Game 1, Gutierrez looked like a lazy player coming on to the pitch. Laissez Faire, if you're more forgiving.

@xowngoals.com Dahlien is a consummate flopper in the box, that was an incredible header directed towards the defender. Don't discount her intent.

@xowngoals.com ugly Sunday matches

@xowngoals.com BREAKING NEWS! Jordynn Dudley, every day for at least the last 4 years, ha proven to be a much better fron-line player than Sentnor.

@xowngoals.com that play from Sears, driving with her and unable to pass, should automatically disqualify her for any recognition, including being in the NT player pool.

@xowngoals.com ref trying to make a point. Milliet flopped - no head contact.

@xowngoals.com While I'm not convinced Utah is for real, they can win this game easily, if: 1) it doesn't turn into a kickball match; 2) the ref doesn't bite on Milliet theatrics. McGlyyn had a trenendous game last week. Justus is still better.

@xowngoals.com Lianne is insufferable! That was across goal. Tordin, Turner, and Wilson are NT quality without Moultrie. The hype for the 20 year-old can only be measured by every "Great White Hope" in every sport.

@xowngoals.com Niehues, who has firmly taken over the attacking MF position for ACFC, is still out due to red card. And, yet, Fuller is on the bench, with Suarez, Endo, Martin and Legeyre working the middle.

@xowngoals.com Part of the problem with Portland's defense is that Reyes and Vignola are too slow.

@xowngoals.com At this stage of the Wlison comeback, there's still no passing options in her bag. We might need to wait until she's on the field with Macario.
