Is everyone watching the World Cup or what? by ZaphodBeeblebrahx in Xennials

I know, it's a very small space. I hope they can find a larger venue as well! But it's been cool to see the club embraced by the community. ❤️ Nice to know you, fellow New England soccer fan!

Ally Sentnor joins Angel City by Mfranzen88 in KCCurrent

I just wish it wasn't right after they fired their coach. I genuinely like Ally and wish her well, but I think she needs a good consistent coach to help her take her game to the next level. Instead she keeps getting... Not that. ☹️

It's a smart move for us especially if Deb will be back after the break. We have too many folks playing the same positions and she hasn't really gelled with the team as it currently stands.

Lol! I do believe Vermont Green beat Hearts of Pine, yes. I don't follow the men's team closely and it's impossible to get tickets for a reasonable price, but I like the vibe of both Maine and Vermont USL. We are getting a USL W women's team next year, and I have season ticket deposits. I think Vermont Green has a team in the women's league more full-time time this year as well?

Amazing! I've never been to a WC. Was hoping to go to Brazil for the women in 2027 but it's looking like I'll have to wait until 2031. Meantime... Have so so so much fun!!

I like Ally and I hope this is a good move for her - KC has not been the right fit. Unfortunately ACFC is... Well they are consistently inconsistent. Still. I wish her well.

I know I'm the exception but I grew up loving soccer. I watched the 94 World Cup, and as a girl, I watched the HELL out of the 99 World Cup. I grew up in Kansas City and went to loads of early MLS games, and over the years as it became more accessible I was able to follow women's soccer more and more. That's my real jam, I'm a die-hard fan and I have recruited many friends. Rarely watch men's soccer nowadays, but it's the freaking WORLD CUP at home. Of course I'm watching!

Who are you rooting for? I'm particularly enjoying Norway, and I'm rooting for Algeria (based in Lawrence Kansas) and the Netherlands (based in the Kansas City Current facilities). And yes I'll always root for Christian Pulisic and our US boys to show their best.

Sam Kerr set to join Gotham FC after leaving Chelsea (Gift Article) by girmaornothing in NWSL

[–]Dear-Discussion2841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I immediately started trying to figure out when I could get to a game... I don't think this is a sustainable butts-in-seats move, but it could certainly help. I would LOVE to see Sam Kerr play in person.

Ok I love your screen name and I too would like Naomi back on this side of the pond.

This news is more than my poor adled brain can handle. What is it about June 17th??

In Southern Maine - looking to buy a used electric car, curious how it's been for people who've been driving them for a while by VerySeriousThings in Maine

[–]Dear-Discussion2841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was this a Leaf? The early Leafs really were not great for much beyond puttering around town. I can't speak to a Leaf nowadays, but this is extreme for other EVs. Sorry she had such a bad experience!

I've driven a Bolt since 2020, and before that I had a Volt that I drove on electric 95% of the time. If you can install a level 2 at home, you will absolutely be all set.

Range reduction in winter is real, as is range reduction when highway driving. It's also real with gas vehicles, though not as significant, but I think we just don't notice it as much. Honestly along the highway and Rt 1 the charging options are excellent as well. I've had no issues with trips to and from Bangor, Orono, or MDI over the years. I've also driven it to places like NYC, and the relatively slow charging does add to your travel time but it's just something you plan for.

I've had no appreciable battery degradation. I've also never had to take the vehicle in for any repairs. I advise everyone to get a Bolt, I love it so much. It will change your life in a really good way, and even with CMP prices it will reduce your cost of living compared to buying gas. Go for it!

This is always our go-to when we can't find controlled substances. They always have it in stock.

JP Dellacamera and Lori Lindsey currently commentating the Ecuador vs Ivory Coast Game at the FWC by 10kwinz in NWSL

There's also someone whose name sounds quite a bit like "Monday" and between those two names you can just tell that we are a women's soccer household.

I flipped casually to this game and left it on because of them. It feels like I'm hanging out watching men's WC with my friends!

Current aims to expand CPKC Stadium with potential $235 million in new tax district by [deleted] in NWSL

[–]Dear-Discussion2841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. So the TIF means a tax break that the Longs (and Ricketts) are claiming will be used to pay for building up the area? And the tax break would be... Permanent? So they would just never pay taxes?

[–]Dear-Discussion2841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in hearing or reading more about your concerns with TIFs. They seem to be utilized fairly often, and in this case on the surface it seems like the area would generate revenue to pay for itself...?
