My main takeaway from the NWSL awards finalists is that Meghan Klingenberg is having the best season of her career and no one seems to have noticed. It's very weird!
Dramatic finish to the Damallsvenskan season, by the way, with Hammarby winning the title for the first time in four decades--finishing level on points but holding off Häcken with a goal difference of 44 to Häcken's 43.
Just popping back over to this hell-app to say how DARE they redesign the NWSL trophy. Sure it's sleek and interesting now, but how can you improve on what is already perfect?
Finally got an account at the other place. You can find me at olneyce over there. So if you want the occasional joke, update about the kiddo, or random Damallsvenskan thoughts, that's where I'll be.
Logged back into twitter for a second to find out what the heck is going on with this US Open delay. General consensus of my feed: "what the heck is going on with this US Open delay." Ah yes, twitter I remember you.
Let's go Madi (at some point)!
Betting odds have had England as the favorite to win the tournament for pretty much the whole tournament, roughly four times more likely to win it than Australia.
There's a lot of 'this one super sub would completely change the game and we would win' on this app, and it's mostly very silly.
On the other hand, Rebecka Blomqvist.
Some highlights from Eric's tactical commentary on this game.
"Sweden is...YELLOW"
"Player is falls over. Players are fall over."
"It's...BASEBALL game"
The Swedish gameplan of 'hope Spain continues to play sloppy passes and maybe we can score' is not the *worst* approach, but I wouldn't bet heavily on it working out.
Like, yes it's overly simplistic to say 'if there was a European Union team, they would pretty routinely crush the United States' but that doesn't mean it isn't true.
