I bike a little. I run a little. I work some. I watch women soccer a lot, especially NWSL.

It’s true. I’m mad all over again.

I have experienced shit like this with insurance companies. So very poorly run and it’s not like you can run out and just switch on a dime.

There are some mini international tournaments. There’s the Women’s Cup hosting by Racing and there’s at least one more that I cannot recall the name of.

We had a dog who I one time went camping with - just the two of us. And the fiercest thunderstorm I have ever experienced in the mountains went on for over an hour. She was completely unbothered. And her presence made me calmer.

Love how the Greens won 2 seats so they just threw both of them up in the screen because they fit.

Ha ha, I say this to people too. I just got a weird look from my kid when I said it to him.

I had a thought today that the sports journalists are never going to come over here. Not even for women’s sports. I think something catastrophic would have to happen to Twitter.

Having every game a sell out is a good move too. I’m not worried that the capacity is lower. The soccer culture they are building around that team is something else. And a good piece of it is that every game is a sellout with engaged fans.

I don’t know about Lloyd. I think she probably thinks her mental abuse under Ellis is that she didn’t get to start all the games during the 2019 WC. 🙄

Last year I crawled back to Twitter after being gone for 8 months because I wanted to be part of the World Cup discourse and see clips quickly. But not this year. I’m keeping my hot takes here on Blue Sky.

My grandfather had a pet pig during the Depression when he was 14. Said it waited for him to get home from school, followed him everywhere, just like a dog he said. They were a poor family so I’m sure you can guess what happened next.

Why are we still trusting polls? Over the past decade or so they have proven themselves to be very faulty.

This is real analysis. It’s short because of the platform but has actual substance.

She doesn’t know how to analyze a game. That’s why last year she just kept saying that the USWNT didn’t have the right mentality. That’s meaningless.

I completely agree with that assessment. The interim coach isn’t going to be any better.

They are so stupid. Or maybe the admin doesn’t care about player well-being and safety. Or perhaps it’s both.

The sale of the team was in limbo for months which I think seriously stymied acquiring good players.

Call me crazy but I think that 2 soccer goals + 1 River goal is still a hat trick.

We spent 3 hrs at Children’s Hospital but no concussion. So that was a win.

So is Houston just killing it on defense or is KC playing poorly in the attacking third? Because it really didn’t look like KC had any good shots on goal. #NWSL

My kid did the same thing a year ago. He permanently lost one of his adult front teeth. Bike accident, landing on his face, one front tooth popped completely out, tons of blood. In his panic, he dropped the tooth in the grass, no hope of putting it back in. But he has embraced his lost tooth look.

Agreed. I cannot believe she asked fans to get behind her at this point. That was very risky.

In one medium sized city I lived in, there was a Walgreens on every other corner. No joke. They must be competing with each other.

I’m listening to Hayes’ press conf. And Hayes really put herself out there on Korbin’s behalf. I hope that doesn’t come back to haunt Hayes later. (although she’s pretty adept at getting out of that kind of trouble). I’m going to continue to keep Korbin at arms length for some time.

The forwards selected have been better than her over the last year. Plain and simple. She is still a tremendous player and leader and a US Soccer great. But she’s not better than the forwards selected.

I think she had a great NWSL season two years ago but since then, she has not been better than other forwards. And that’s what it comes down to. The other forwards picked have been in better form.

Oh wow, Lynn Williams snuck in there. I am a little surprised by that. But yes, I agree with taking Williams over Morgan.

It’s also regional. I lived in AZ and people said “power point” but then moved to the mid-west and “slide deck” came out of nowhere to me. I had to listen carefully and infer what that person was talking about the first time I heard it.

Good list. Want to guess the four alternates? I think that’s harder.
