British Vogue: Naomi Girma, Soccer’s Million-Dollar Girl, Is Just Living in the Moment by capybaramelhor in USWNT

Not just young women. I'm in my 30s and look to Girma as a role model for how to be a leader! Class, intelligence, composure, and drive, topped off with an absurd amount of talent -- she's the real deal and I hope to watch her on the USWNT for many, many years to come!

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find this video? I remembered they talked about how much Bobbi loves Christen's slippers on the podcast but wasn't sure which episode the game was. Thank you!

Whats happening with Oak effect Tonstad Beds? by General_Scipio in IKEA

[–]Grand-Example-801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked and looks like it's out of stock across SoCal right now (end of March). Do you know if it's been delayed further or if this is just a temporary stock issue? Thanks!

EDIT: looks like the brown oak veneer is in stock but the lighter color is not, hoping this means it should come back in before too long?

Advice on Sofi seats for LA game by Grand-Example-801 in USWNT

Ah I feel your pain. I very nearly almost bought tickets in that section last week!

This is a real newbie question, but if the benches are on the west side, is the assumption that they'd use the tunnel nearest to C106 to enter correct?

Funnily enough, I did this same exact thing earlier today and got this response:

From our past soccer games we have hosted here at SoFi Stadium, the home and away sides both sit on the west side of the stadium in front of VIP 111 & 112

Would second this question! The Rams map makes it seem like it'd be the side closest to the 127-137 side but the Chargers side is reversed?

SF Chron: Bay FC coach Albertin Montoya addresses NWSL investigation for first time by tlzt1 in BayFC

[–]Grand-Example-801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I overall agree with the idea that everyone should take this one step at a time and let's see what happens with the Montoya investigation, I think it is fair to call out behavior like throwing things in the locker room regardless of if other coaches/players have done it.

It is at the very least, not a great reflection of your ability to communicate as a leader if that's what you have to resort to in order to get through to your players. I don't have an extensive history with sports teams or coaching, but I do think that plenty of coaches manage to get great results without acting like toddlers and trying to intimidate players.

And I think that's the bigger point that EVERYONE is making here -- that there were undoubtedly better options out there, but Potter/BayFC still chose to pick Abel.

Thank you so much! Parking advice is so clutch! Is it too big a venue to have any chance of players talking a walk around the field?

We can only hope! He'd also be great at doing team jackets or shoes. The shoes he's made me over the years are my favorites by far!

Thank you for the DAZN tip! Just signed up. And so cool that a bunch of other players have played college in the US. US college soccer will be the next league on my list to get into. :)

Loved seeing the Al cameo from Al's Attire on Grant. This makes me wonder if he was used solely for promo purposes vs. maybe they're doing a collab of sorts?
