If you're new to Mastodon and looking for some #soccer people, most of us use the hashtag #MastodonFC. If you're looking for an instance filled with friendly soccer-loving folks, come check out thefooty.club
If you don't mind somebody who rambles endlessly about—among other things—#RBNY#MLS#GothamFC#NWSL#USMNT#USWNT and a seemingly endless list of obscure leagues and competitions, let's be friends.
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.
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.”
Victory USA! 3-0
Mad props to the Vietnam gals who put up a great fight. Add to it they are called the "Wonder Women of Vietnam" by their local press. Vietnam has never qualified for the World Cup before now. And they got there before the men. #WorldCup#USWNT#USAvsVIE#TeleviseWomensSports!
Watching a replay of Italy-Argentina and (a) what a great, high-pressure match and (b) apparently the Argentina federation didn't schedule *any *games for the team from 2015-2017? Damn.
The #USWNT fight for equality has been incredible to watch but so many teams are fighting their federations, not for equality, but for any support at all.
Yesterday, Alexi Lalas thought it was a good time to kick the #USWNT while they were down, saying that their 'woke politics and stances' made them unlikeable.
But you know who he DOES like? Ron #DeSantis. That's his guy.
As a side note- if it wasn't for his (admittedly cool, and suuuper red) 90s hair, even fewer people would know who he is. He was a pretty good player on one #WorldCup team, but was a mediocre international player overall. And his other #soccer jobs haven't gone so well either.
I'm Trish, I watch sports and garden for fun. I have one smart cat and one not smart cat. I'm handy when I need to be, including when fixing my 50cc Genuine Buddy scooter. Most of my crafting projects are half-finished.
I like helping people. I'm learning to say "no".
I'm working on a Spanish degree and am about 3/4 done. This semester I finally have a professor who is older than I am.
Crazy to see Hershfelt, Bethune and Weisner all getting callups (though Bethune and Weisner will not play in any of the friendlies, thankfully - let them rest). Spirit rookies are the best rookies!
Another callup for Aubrey. <3 Plus Trin and Casey, as expected. We are back to having a half dozen or more Spirit players in camp. More than Gotham...super team who?
