The NWSL draft started out as expected, but it only took a few minutes for the night to erupt into an even bigger spectacle at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

5 - The 5 goals @GothamFC has conceded this season are the fewest allowed by any team after 11 matches of a regular season in #NWSL history. Impassable.

I haven’t clicked on a notification that fast in my life. #DOOP

Getting that call so obviously wrong just lends itself to how bad the ref crews decision making was all 90. Refs need to be held accountable and they rarely are. We didn’t deseve to win the match with that play. I’m just so tired of poor officiating.

[Josh @jerikevans]

Embarrassing officiating the whole match. Embarrassing for this tournament not to have VAR. That moment doesn’t matter at the end of the day because Gotham didn’t play well, but the officiating HAS to be better with or without VAR.

[Jenna Tonelli @jennatonelli]

That is explicitly not a pen. Got the ball and contact outside of penalty area. No VAR.

For a tournament that wants to be taken seriously, this is embarrassing.

[Josh @jerikevans]

@jennatonelli It’s the only thing that would make me okay with the Gotham move. But I just don’t think the ownership interest is there ($$$) enough in Philly. 😔

[Josh @jerikevans]

Boo. 👎

EXCLUSIVE: @GothamFC is in advanced talks to play in the new soccer stadium that NYCFC is currently building in Queens, according to multiple people familiar with the talks.

The new $780M Queens venue is expected to open in 2027.

[Josh @jerikevans]

@therightEngle27 Just leave the whole team at this rate.

US declared war on Iran...

@brianwagner1234 @mbarrera1323 @Drew99Hartman They are 2 for 2 in that case! They “sold the team” and gave us a “cup” for 2026. They really are listening. Offseason grade now bumped to an A+.

[Josh @jerikevans]

@piercehadzor Agreed! The blanket was a good one.

[Josh @jerikevans]

What in the Oriental Trading is this STM gift?

I try to be grateful but who sat there and said “Yes, ice cube trays! That’s what our season ticket holders who spend thousands year over year really need!” #doop

[Josh @jerikevans]

@Slapsymaxi609 @JoserNunez91 Picked it up last night.

[Josh @jerikevans]

@Drew99Hartman @JoserNunez91 Indeed. Not great!

[Josh @jerikevans]

@Jimmyking35 @mbarrera1323 The ice cube tray, that can holder/tumbler, and a cheap scarf.

[Josh @jerikevans]

@jesbojb Oh we got another cheap scarf too! Lol didn’t pull that out for the pic.
