Courtney Williams on blowing kisses to the Valkyries’ crowd:
“Man, these folks can’t stand me and I love it … They got an amazing fan base, man, and their fan base is not that nice, but I love it, because who don’t want to play in this type of environment?”
Turkey loses to Paraguay, who defended a 1-0 lead down a man the last 60+ minutes.
That means the U.S. clinches 1st in the group.
If the Americans win their round-of-32 match July 1, they will play in the round of 16 on July 6—yes, back here in Seattle👀!!
USA wins Group D and their path to the World Cup semifinal in Dallas (the final is in New York/New Jersey) is entirely on the West Coast.
Round of 32: July 1 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium
Round of 16: July 6 at Seattle Stadium
Quarterfinal: July 10 at Los Angeles Stadium
Walking out of Lumen Stadium into an Occidental Street party 4hrs after roaring sold-out US 2, Australia 0, soccer journo from New York tells me the World Cup Final should be here, not New York/New Jersey.
"Your stadium, this environment, is incredible." https://t.co/hwTbiVVgE4
Seattle Torrent re-sign Carly Jackson to a 2-year contract.
This is the first multi-year deal of Jackson's PWHL career.
A clear opportunity to be the backup in Seattle after the Torrent lost Schroeder in expansion. Jackson's primarily been a 3rd-stringer for the past 3 seasons.
UNCLE SEA-J IS HERE TO STAY 🌭
@tuffmustard has been re-signed to a two-year Standard Player Agreement through the 2027-2028 season.

Seattle World Cup visitors are getting the best of our area right now. New waterfront, world class facilities, temps in the 70s & 80s (no bugs, low humidity), Mt Rainier visibility, whale watching. What an amazing time to visit!
CJ STAYS IN SEA!

If you watched the Obama Presidential Center opening, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade yesterday afternoon - and nothing else - you could actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250.
True story.
Seriously, WA/PNW people deserve to know this. I have no words.
I've watched EVERY World Cup game so far. Brazilian announcers talk about the game or the stadium’s location… general stuff.
When the game is in SEATTLE they ALWAYS mention the Seahawks, they've also mentioned the Sounders and they ALWAYS praise the city of Seattle. 🤩
Sometimes they even mention Seattle when they're somewhere else (yesterday they were in LA/SoFi and mentioned how they missed Seattle, the city itself, and how great the stadium in Seattle is). I SWEAR! If I weren't a Hawks fan I'd be so pissed off 😂🤣
