@stefan That was mostly an excited and surprised "??????" I hope she actually gets time as a forward or midfielder, because she's quite good there and has wanted to play as an attacker internationally for a long time. That said, it feels like its her versatility that's giving her the nod over someone like Lynn Williams. Considered just as forwards, I feel like you have to take Lynn.
It's disconcerting to see Girma, Dahlkemper, and Davidson all on the injury list today. I love all of those players but Emma Hayes & co better be thinking about backup plans if one or more of them can't get back to full fitness in time for the Olympics. This is why people (it's me, I'm people) complain about players like Staab and Gorden not getting callups. Even if they're just perpetual backups, sometimes you need backups.
@stefan I had that same idea. It would be chaos, but eventually a goal would be scored... and better than penalty kicks... but just about anything would be.
Two veteran players on the U.S. women’s national soccer team Wednesday denounced teammate Korbin Albert’s social media activity that supported anti-LGBTQ+ content, calling it “extremely, extremely sad.”
Didn't get to see the last #USWNT match, but they look up for it tonight. Aggressive pressing, optimistic passing, and some nice goals! I don't know how much influence Hayes has had yet, but they look way more confident than last year, including a hopefully reinvigorated Morgan.
Considering most of them are still in preseason form, it all bodes well for a good Olympics run.
FCast is an open-source protocol designed to open wireless audio and video streaming to everybody. Unlike #Chromecast or #AirPlay, which are closed protocols, FCast is entirely open-source. This allows developers to create custom receiver implementations and integrate FCast into their existing applications, making it a more flexible and adaptable option. With support for various stream types like #DASH, #HLS, and mp4, it empowers developers to create their own unique streaming experiences. In contrast to traditional closed protocols, FCast champions open innovation. Developers can create custom receivers, integrate the client protocol into their own apps, or even enhance the protocol, contributing to an evolving open ecosystem. Available for Linux, MacOS, Windows, and Android. FCast offers a fully open-source protocol, enabling unrestricted innovation in the field of media streaming. #FCast#OpenDevelopment#MediaStreaming
Well that was definitely a less fun game than last time. I don't mind the lack of cohesion at all - that's the risk you take when you try a bunch of new things, and it's always a slog when a team sets up in a low block against you. But Aubrey's error and Emily Fox's possible concussion really put a damper on the night for me. :(
Testing HTTP based adaptive bitrate systems such as MPEG DASH and HLS needs test content.
We offer a set of streams for this - and we've just updated them to include live, low latency, audio description and alternative language and webcast versions:
@BBCRD
None of my AVRs can handle these streams so I can't listen to BBC radio on my systems anymore.
I've tried contacting the manufacturer and they don't seem interested. Do you have a list of compatible devices?
@BBCRD I was trying to work out where I'd seen that image before, then remembered; I made this in 2014 from shots taken inside the Berliner Philharmonie! 👻 😱
I will give Twila Kilgore a very small amount of credit: this is a marginally more interesting lineup than Wednesday's. At least Murphy and Demelo get the start.
But it's still pretty damn boring. Does Twila really see herself as a total placeholder coach who should show no creativity whatsoever? Or does she think this is the way to advance?
Coming back to this post from early in the second half - I wonder if Colombia was just playing less defensively in the second half. That could explain both their increased offensive chances and how the US was finally able to break through and score a trio of goals after three scoreless halves.
@jr So wird das vermutlich im Browser laufen, aber wenn man den Key bekommt kann mans auch offline dekodieren, aber den Key muss man halt irgendwo aus dem Browserverkehr rausfiltern...
A little bit more energy from the US in the last few minutes, but no goals, and the game ends scoreless.
Honestly the only two things that stood out for me was Trinity's nutmeg and Lynn William's brilliant press that should've been a goal. That, and Becky taking the field again.
I'll see y'all back here again on Sunday at 5:30 ET for a rematch. Hopefully it'll be more inspired. :)
