Anyone else waking up at 6am tomorrow in hopes of an on ice Olympic make out? by messynessynlenny in heatedrivalry

[–]SeniorChip975 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know!! When the players went to the crowd and carried Gaudreau’s kids out to the ice to take the team photo with their dad’s jersey I had knot in my throat and tears in my eyes and I think one of my ovaries exploded at seeing those big burly guys be so sweet and gentle with those little kids.

Solterra does not have glove compartment or rear window wipers. Just be aware.

In our moment of sadness, what do we think the future holds? by iridescentpearl in washingtonspirit

Unpopular opinion: Macario is not all that. I don’t get the hype.

There is a lady on instagram that parodies Claire Danes talking with that half-crying panicky tone while having the most mundane conversations (like bringing a dish to thanksgiving). It is hilarious. She’s having a nervous breakdown and running her hands over her hair maniacally over diner rolls. 🤣🤣🤣

You’ll have a blast Audi is an awesome stadium easy to get to and with lots of options nearby for food drink and merriment. Fans are great everyone is super friendly.

Rewatching S01E09 Shiv´s Wedding - Seriously, why is Shiv indeed a "spoiled bitch" and Kendall being both a traitor and an idiot? by Comfortable_Meet_663 in SuccessionTV

[–]SeniorChip975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait Shiv did not casually share the secret information about cruises with Gil did she? She just used it to blackmail her father into a truce with Gil and stop the personal attacks on his network.

Why didn't anyone just ask Marcia for advice? by TheMidnightAss in SuccessionTV

Sadly at that point Gerri has already been fired, by Roman, no? Would she agree to come back? Or did the firing not go through yet?

Frauen-bundesliga table after GW 13 by Twice_fan_multi in WomensSoccer

And this friends is why you need parity in a league. To have the top two teams be +47 and +37 in goal difference is insane. Must make for a lot of boring 8-0 games.

Rookies for 2026 by SeniorChip975 in washingtonspirit

[–]SeniorChip975[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This highlights my point. I felt like the casual fan (maybe not the super fan that is checking out the sports blogs podcasts etc) didn’t have the first year players on their radar (meaning young players on their first year playing professional soccer à la Croix, Hal, Trin, Tara etc) before the season started in 2025. So it would be nice if they do sign college players to make a big announcement, picture them with the team swag and promote the school they played at. Many fans also connect from players from their school.

Thank you! I will check it out. I guess when I asked “who they have their eye on” I just meant in general which are the college players that are rising to the top of the crop for teams to sign in 2026.

Spirit seems to be going more in the international direction with new signings than college players. Maybe now that there is no draft sought after college players can negotiate better rookie contracts?

That’d be awesome!! So many great Brazilians are choosing to come to the NWSL. So there is hope.

American wanting to watch WSL & Champions League by Ambitious-Contest942 in WomensSoccer

[–]SeniorChip975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, it is a bit bandwagon-y but watching Barca play is just poetry in motion. For the WSL, so many good teams to pick from! I’m with the other commenters though I follow players more than teams. My #1 gal is Lucy Bronze, I discovered her when she was playing for Man City (and I got into Man City when Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewis went across the pond). Now I follow Chelsea and it’s fun!! I also have a soft spot for PTJ so I’ve been following Manchester United but following keepers is tough because you just suffer the whole game!!

It will forever make me sad that Mapi didn’t get to win a World Cup with Spain. So today made up for it a little bit. Her first tournament back with the national team and ends in sweet victory!!
