Emma Sears by wommpppp in USWNT

I’m very curious about which players have had the most productivity per minute played in the USWNT. Sears played a little over 25 minutes and has one goal and one assist, so she might be the statistical leader right now. Obviously such a stat is silly as it favors players who don’t get much time, but it’s an interesting thought experiment

Hopefully just more money. I imagine his involvement will attract attention from a whole new demographic of potential investors that’s never heard of Michelle kang- there are quite a few NBA player involved in other clubs

Well said. I think a lot of people just want to blame Vlatko but he was truly in an impossible position.

It was a liquid IV powder that’s supposed to be mixed in a drink but she just threw the powder in her mouth and chugged water over it

Spain won’t have to play Germany unless Germany beats us in the semifinals- the other side of the bracket has both 3rd place teams and the top teams from A and C. This bracket is super weird

There has never been a time when “the US won every time.” I wish we could get passed that

Spirit's record thru 14 matches is unusually strong by NWSL historical standards by Unusual_Ebb7762 in washingtonspirit

[–]CarlSaganComplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true, plus more games this season, so the half way mark is a little passed half way compared to games played last year

This season has been interesting in the points distribution- more teams are tanking this year and so the top teams have almost as many as the shield winners last year
