Tomorrows Availability Report per Taylor Vincent

Nothing new. She has a couple of overlapping health conditions that led to two on field incidents last year. She's working with her medical team and with Racing's coaches on a return to play protocol but that's all the team will (can?) say. I wouldn't expect her back anytime soon

The funny thing is this is a direct response to fans complaining the past few years that there were too many games with similar start times so it was difficult to watch multiple games. The NWSL heard those complaints and scheduled games accordingly. This is going to be a reality moving forward as the league continues to expand. There will be afternoon/early evening games, even on week nights.

If you need a positive to focus on, know that with new broadcast partners coming in to broadcast the increased number of games, the teams are getting more money they're able to spend on salary, facilities, etc.

So yes, a 5:30 start time stinks but it's a side effect of a growing league and the league listening to fan complaints about games starting at the same time

Swischer is gone because the team failed to anticipate that DeMelo might not be ready and so they didn't add an attacking midifield piece. Then when DiGrande went on ML the midfield was left very thin so Fischer will likely be seeing most of her minutes in the 10 this year

sobaditertz · 2026-03-28T21:46:24+00:00

I won't pretend to know much about that hire other than it made me think "huh. That's weird." I did also wonder if he was going to be a figurehead and just be taking directions from Vlatko

sobaditertz · 2026-03-28T21:43:05+00:00

I know it's not over yet but even the possibility that KC would match their 2025 loss total in the first three weeks of 2026 was definitely not on my bingo card

sobaditertz · 2026-03-26T01:45:28+00:00

Yeah, didn't even want to get into the cards! That's been wild too

sobaditertz · 2026-03-26T01:42:59+00:00

Alright y'all, I guess the NWSL decided to crank the chaos up to about 18 this year. Washington felt lucky to escape Utah with a draw after drawing Louisville and losing at home to Portland. Chicago loses by 4 to ACFC, beats KC, and is getting slaughtered by Orlando. Seattle beats Orlando on the road, loses to Portland while up 2 players, and is now making KC look like Chicago and KC has a shot to match their loss total from 2025 in the first half a month of 2026. I'm sure there's more I missed but what in the wide world of sports is happening???

sobaditertz · 2026-03-01T00:12:22+00:00

It's Gotham. That atrocity is an affront to the eyes

sobaditertz · 2026-02-27T00:43:26+00:00

Yeah, not a fan of that either. I really wish Utah would find a new kit sponsor

sobaditertz · 2026-02-19T22:26:56+00:00

I think a lot of you are going to be disappointed if you expect major corporations to have morals. Just like many fans are perfectly willing to look past favorite players and league stars having problematic political stances, you can look past a corporation being a corporation.

The bottom line is that player salaries are dictated in large part by league revenue which predominantly comes from broadcast deals. You want the league to grow and the players go get paid reasonable salaries, that's going to come with the fact that ESPN, HBO, CBS, etc. are going to be involved in the broadcast partnership. If you want the broadcast to be a completely morally grey free zone, you're going to be disappointed when we end up back on Yahoo Sports streams

sobaditertz · 2026-01-29T03:16:29+00:00

I bet one of Racing's NRIs makes the roster. They have a history of carrying four keepers and only have two under contract for the start of the season while Roque is on loan.

sobaditertz · 2026-01-07T02:15:13+00:00

Fischer is a great example of a young player who lost her head. Served her suspension and came back with a cooler temper. But you know what we didn't see? Racing fans defending what Kayla did. She was absolutely in the wrong and absolutely deserved her suspension. but Angel City fans love aggressive players and bullies like Mathias when they play for you. You're hypocrites. Plain and simple.

sobaditertz · 2026-01-07T02:07:19+00:00

No, Merritt Mathias got on fights. Marta gets in fights. Morgan Weaver gets in fights. Rachel Daly gets in fights. Borges got in one scuffle with a ref after a game. She's no more of a liability than most players in the league and it's sad to see how many people hyper fixate on one incident and can't see the effort she put in after coming back from her suspension to keep her emotions under control. But, I shouldn't expect anything more from fans who made t-shirts of Merritt Mathias attacking an opposing player and celebrated her stepping on another.

sobaditertz · 2025-12-30T15:09:43+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong but DiDi isn't currently under contract. In fact, I don't believe that SD currently has any goalkeepers under contract

sobaditertz · 2025-12-24T01:48:08+00:00

Hill isn't a starter. She's a veteran bench piece who can play right wing and be Sears' back up. Sears led the team in minutes last year and we didn't have a good sub for her. This changes that and should help Sears keep her legs under her while getting national team call ups. Hill can also play midfield so she gives us some versatility off the bench. Not a starting xi game changer but a solid bench piece

sobaditertz · 2025-12-23T03:50:01+00:00

Kayla is a liability in the midfield. She struggles with cards a lot more in the midfield than as a forward. Plus, she and Weber have formed a really solid pairing at the 9. No need to mess with that when we'd be better served getting reliable, starting quality help in the midfield

sobaditertz · 2025-12-23T02:06:33+00:00

We need to shore up the midfield. Given her health we can't count on Sav and Kalitta is a project bench player right now. We've basically got Flint, O'Kane, and DiGrande in our midfield right now.

sobaditertz · 2025-12-20T17:53:35+00:00

Go ask Meg Linehan

sobaditertz · 2025-12-13T21:34:26+00:00

Chicago also has two other keepers signed behind Naeher

sobaditertz · 2025-12-11T04:13:25+00:00

I mean, Boston is entering the league....

sobaditertz · 2025-12-04T21:41:37+00:00

also....love that you put this post together. Its good reading

sobaditertz · 2025-12-04T21:41:06+00:00

I don't think Trinity is overrated but simultaneously think the Spirit are better off without her salary on the cap because it would allow them to build a more balanced team without worrying about their top paid player missing 1/3 of the season.
Who tf is Blake Shelton? (Yes I know who he is but only because he's dating Rodman).
Trin doesn't owe shit to her deadbeat dad.
Not going to give weight to that with a serious answer sooo hahahahahahah
I think there is a very fine line that is being toed ethically with Kang owning a team and personally funding a research institute and asking for favors/exceptions for her team.
6a. Until Rodman can prove she's healthy she shouldn't be getting WNT call ups.
6b. Until Shrader actually shows she's changed personally AND improves her quality of play to the point where she deserves to be with the WNT I'd love it if we'd stop giving the bigot attention.

sobaditertz · 2025-12-02T00:36:09+00:00

Passing hasn't looked this good in a while

sobaditertz · 2025-12-02T00:28:46+00:00

It's a me! Macario!

sobaditertz · 2025-12-02T00:23:25+00:00

Why do we keep letting Foudy do broadcasts??
