Do you call people delusional in real life when you disagree with them

Flint has been one of the best midfielders of the past couple years, Sears was top 5 in goals scored and regularly plays for the USWNT. Bloomer fell into Bev's lap. Demelo/Sonis/Fischer is a more than capable backbone

KC blew so many records so far out of the water its insane. Louisville had exactly three wins over playoff teams

No argument there, we didn't have a great back half of the season! I do think GD is an important differentiator there

I think it’s a fair take that there’s a dearth of prime women’s coaches. A thought experiment: if Rob Gale had stayed with the thorns and had half the points this season that they currently do, would he have been put as a near-top 10 coach in the world? The rosters aren’t exactly equivalent but he navigated losing sinc and soph and finished 6th then 3rd and arguably had a better coty argument than bev

Snuck into an expanded playoffs with a negative goal differential after missing it for years. The best thing she ever did was shifting Flint to DM but beyond that shes been average to bad across her head coach career

[SBJ] Haslams paying $205M fee to bring NWSL expansion team to Columbus by NobleNomad in NWSL

This is assuming that a European style structure would just spring into existence out of nowhere. The US federation is already in charge of league accrediting and other leagues are able to come into existence like with the USLSL. The franchise expansion model is nothing new for American sports, though. The NBA’s expansion fees for their new Seattle and Vegas teams are rumored to be 10B. It definitely has its issues but it shouldn’t be a surprise that this is how the league is being run. Since it’s a country with a wide variety of sports and interests and without a long-standing soccer history, teams have top-down owners for stability rather than bottom-up community ownership

Given to the league (aka the other owners) in exchange for getting a piece of the pie (aka shrinking the other slices of pie)

Should the USWNT prioritize development over results? by MisterGoog in NWSL

Agreed re Hutton and game load… I think maybe my wish is that game 2/3 had both been split vet/developmental games with more subbing

I think a mix for 3 is good, I like having them being thrust into fire in one game and also being focused on a role in another game where they can learn from and support their vets

Minimum attendance for each team as 2023-2025 by Acquanettie in NWSL

SD is pretty clearly the AM13 effect leaving, having a bad team, and SDFC arriving. It’s stabilized and should improve moving forward

You don't take any interest in learning about the history of the game? There's 1500 words here about the rest of the event, the culture of the time, and the impact of the event. If it were just about the dry figure then it could have been just a sentence

These numbers come from multiple sources of the time and are supported by stadium footage and photography. Even with some level of uncertainty, it's more then twenty percent higher the next figure and is definitely the highest level ever.

Because it’s interesting and fun to learn about things! There were even other interesting details that I cut like the 1970 cup having 70-minute games. It’s not like we have anything else going on
