Some NWSL news overnight. Chicago Stars FC transfer defender Kathy Hendrich transfers to FC Koln. Not officially announced stateside yet, but sources confirm the move was a transfer as Hendrich expressed wishes to return closer to home.
Didn't lead in the stats like that, but no doubt our most crucial Chain Snatchers were Sam Mewis and Jess Fishlock. They struck fear in our opponents and truly made them clutch their chains on a weekly basis. Not a single chain link or diamond was getting past Aubrey Bledsoe. Snatched everything.
StealYourChain FC won the NWSL Shield (19W–5D–6L) w/ 62 points but lost the NWSL Championship to Washington Spirit. Respect. Draft efficiency was 89% Rob Gale was coach bc options were Vera Pauw or Huw Williams. We've parted ways. Great year. Global search begins. Ty to all our Chain Snatchers🫵⛓️
Watching racing Louisville get a consolation penalty that took like ten minutes to review, decide, set up, place, and convert.
You only hope and assume this is fake. It is not. It is very real. And very much Gay Normality. May our existence continue to bother you. I wish this life for all my LGBTQ+ siblings.
I love Memo as much as anyone, but El Tri cannot move Rangel after that game against South Korea. Thrilled for Mora. Glad Gutierrez is getting a rest, and Idk how else to explain Martinez up top other a Mexican manager ass move by Aguirre (complimentary)

Visited northwest Indiana this weekend and can’t stop thinking about this overflowing cup of ranch dressing my wife was given with her sandwich and fries. “This is why the Bears are moving to Hammond” was my immediate reaction. I also wish more European national teams had base camps in the Midwest
