Meg Linehan

If anyone feels like a match tonight, I sent $100 which helps expand the TJA’s stylebook and coverage guide — an invaluable resource that more newsrooms should take advantage of these days.

surely we are all shocked at the outcome of this award

everything is great as always

Soccer award shows are a particular level of hell.

Update on Decision Day, and not a suprising one: Gotham vs. Utah gets the ESPN slot, all other matches will be be on ESPN+. We're gonna need a lot of screens.

oh my god

gotham watching this game rn

Anyway, the moon tonight is pretty good.

I understand not needing to break fire code but the only bonus numbers that should count are standing room only, etc. and not a watch party on a screen. Absolutely not an attendance record, even if all teams cook those numbers to some extent.

well now I'm glad I did not have the bandwith to watch COTA

3-4 games worth of incidents packed into the first 20 minutes of KC-Spirit, but this injury for Hal Hershfelt is potentially the one with the longest-reaching consequences

in gotham postgame and every time I look down there's a goal in KC-Washington HELP

They could record rain ASMR at this Orlando Pride game with how hard it’s coming down there.

Portland clinching this many teams at once is big “I’m carrying the group project” energy

digging this one out of cold storage

I did not intend to write the most Vermont story ever when I drove down to the Mad River Valley to talk to alpine skier Paula Moltzan, but it’s just how these things work. On a sponsorship deal with a local fertility clinic that’s turned into a personal mission: www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

anyway, just experienced the bliss of closing 20+ tabs after filing a story, good night & also if you do want to support women's sports in good faith pls know us ski finally got a decent media rights package & it will be easier to watch ski racing!!! www.usskiandsnowboard.org/news/new-era...

Do you ever have An Emotion

It's been all Seattle here, but Simone Charley finally digs something out for the Stars to make it 3-1 late here on the lake. Crowd definitely appreciative of the signs of life (and brings the Stars back to a -50 GD for the season, up from -51). Charley's first goal for Chicago.

Hello from Chicago, it’s NWSL time. Rooting for a lake ball and a good time.

The October window is over, and now it's on to World Cup qualifiers for the Concacaf region. The #USWNT will face El Salvador, whose head coach just threatened to drop players and ban coffee breaks after losses against Paraguay. More on his unnecessary crash out ⬇️ www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...

As an intellectual exercise, @tamerra-griffin.bsky.social and I were tasked with making a squad ladder for the USWNT after the Spain games. 30 players, ranked on form, minutes, history and value. We came in with our own rankings, then hashed it out. Fun! www.nytimes.com/athletic/769...

I very much believe that if you reference Open Cup and FA Cup in your press release about a new tournament that your new tournament should actually resemble those two things and include amateur teams. That's the growth. Not two div. I leagues.

Some v instructive minutes in the second half of this one that we will all have plenty to chew on. Del Fava a bright spot for sure, that long ball is gonna get talked about a lot for the next 24 hours.

Big time emotions for Mal Swanson on that goal.

something kinda incredible about Tordin in 13 and Del Fava in 4 getting their first caps.

Ashley Sanchez goal, truly important for so many reasons.

You know, after the first 15 I did think the USWNT were gonna be mostly okay. My bad.

They made it to 27 minutes this time? But yeeeesh, USWNT carved apart and it's easy pickings for Alexia Putellas.

I have to say, starting XI in video format is a new level of annoying (like sorry but am I supposed to be able to read that list of players on the bench without zooming???)

every single person that I have seen post about Lonesome Dove over the past 6ish months has been a woman either recommending it or also making it her entire personality

"I don't like the stutter step approach to a pen, but that's just me." It's not just you, Emma. It's not just you.

Heaps and Lavelle in the same midfield creates very little rest defense through the middle third and Lily Yohannes certainly is not the player to mitigate that. A common thread through the last year.

Oh boy!

2:38 for Spain to score. Going to be a very interesting Saturday afternoon.
