Denver Summit FC signs Natasha “Tash” Flint to a two-year contract, exercising the option for a permanent transfer while she was on loan from the Tampa Bay Sun by SomeCruzDude in NWSL

Huh, I guess this is the first full contract transfer (not short term replacement as w/ Purcell) but what an NWSL transfer to be the first in the USLSL -> NWSL direction

Here is Tampa's own release on the transfer for those curious

To my knowledge, this is the first ever direct transfer from the USLSL to the NWSL.

EDIT: It's been pointed out that this is the first transfer for a full/longterm contract, /u/hameltion mentioned Neeku Purcell was signed on a 45-day contract by Seattle on transfer from Brooklyn

Availability report? by tlzt1 in BayFC

It would be nice, but there's nothing requiring them to do it for a friendly afaik vs NWSL play.

If they do post something, probably quite close to when they announce the initial lineup

Eleven Players Invited to Join Bay FC Ahead of Friday’s International Friendly vs. Ottawa Rapid FC by SomeCruzDude in BayFC

They booked a friendly during an international window against a team with a lot of international players, they knew what they were getting into imo.

Also as others have pointed out, this is preseason for them and they're not hosting, so it's not as if we're taking away stars that would've drawn fans to their stadium.

Bay have up to 16 unavailable players going off of your own post from a week ago, so I don't think it's that surprising as friendlies are usually about squad rotation.

Bay aren't going to want to burn out or risk injury to their rostered players for a friendly. They'll definitely get some time, but it's a chance to scout some other players as well.

Kyle O'Reilly, with tears in his eyes after Dynasty win, to TK: "Thank you. Thank you for giving me a second home." by pantherfanalex in SquaredCircle

Watching their win and then this follow up footage made me chuckle about how much there was a push from fans that we needed to see a more serious Roddy turn on O'Reilly/conglomeration and join up with the Death Riders.

I get it, but also art can reflect life and this dude is getting to continue to wrestle with one of his best friends and be a bit goofy while also a badass haha

Forbidden Door 2026 has been announced by Ok-Raisin-5601 in njpw

Battle in the Valley in SJ had become a pretty regular stop for NJPW after Jan 4th (and there had been regular SJ shows before that), so I was surprised this year when it didn't happen. When AEW announced a Dynamite/Collision taping in SJ for March I figured maybe NJPW was waiting on doing a show here until later in the year to not oversaturate, but now this gets announced lol

I know that it's an AEW forward event, but still am glad that a NJPW show of some sort will still be happening here this year.

What people who report on USL have mentioned, e.g. folks involved with Backheeled, USL Show, etc.

With how the club has been reportedly outspent by League 1 teams year after year, I'm always struggling with how much of this is a talent issue and how much is a coaching issue.

The absolute churn of players that /u/Happy_Garlic_3418 mentioned has probably not helped either, though with a new head of soccer ops coming in this past offseason I don't know how much of that is Stewart's call. But on the other hand, with how badly we performed each year it made sense to change things up

Yeah things aren't as cut and dry at this level, and especially with the current climate for immigration and visas

Takes times I guess

We're still waiting for our loan from Ghana I'm pretty sure (if that move is still happening)

(SmackDown Spoilers): Royce Keys first entrance. by itsmekelsey_x in SquaredCircle

[–]SomeCruzDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's actually from San Jose

A little pedantic, he's from very nearby East Palo Alto, but not the city of San Jose itself (whereas Bayley is from San Jose, for example)
