The franchise fees are ridiculous. Absolute cash grab that has nothing to do with growing the sport. Sucks so bad to see them go this route

Ambigrams have radial symmetry (viewed same when spun 180 degrees from center).
Palindromes can be READ forward or backwards, but can any be VIEWED forward AND backwards (i.e. vertical symmetry)?

Never in Doubt:
5'6" aerial threat Naomi Girma...

Aerial threat Girma

Thoughts for starting XI:
GK - Campbell (3 games = 3 GKs)
DF - Reale, Davidson, Girma (C), Fox
MF - Yohannes, Hutton, Moultrie (same 3 as last game but with better support)
FW - Sears ("she's up there somewhere" passes from Yohannes), Joseph (hold-up 9), Rodman (balance of spice and recovery)

Players this game needs:
- long-ball passers (Yohannes, Davidson)
- defenders who stay home (Girma)
Players who may struggle:
- fancy dribblers (Lavelle, A. Thompson)
- backs who play high (Patterson, G. Thompson)
- players who get called for fouls but don't draw them equally (Heaps, Sonnett)

You think Chicago attendance numbers are low NOW...

Step 1: shift to Fall-to-Spring calendar
Step 2: add MN Aurora as next expansion team
Step 3: watch NWSL teams dread coming to Allianz like NFL teams dread going to Lambeau

More games like USMNT v Honduras at Allianz!

That means it came in a bulk package and they took one 6-pack out of the bulk package instead of giving her the whole thing.

One should be Bond, one should be Q. Either way.

That Kwik Trip is across from my high school. Your better option would have been to get frozen custard next door at LeDuc's!

That goalie chip worldie was something. #U23

Are you telling me that an actor from multiple Fast & Furious movies cannot act?!

TBF, we were passing it directly to Japan most of the game. It just feels worse to do it in the attacking third instead of the middle of the field.

Agree 100%.
And Emma needs to be willing to stop playing out of the back in rainy conditions with a high press down by 1.

There is NO reason for 60+ seconds of showing a baby, any baby, while the game is live.

As both a huge Star Wars fan and Star Trek fan, I feel confident in this take:
Star Wars could never have a show like Lower Decks because most Star Wars fans struggle to fan-girl their universe while simultaneously making fun of it in the ways that Star Trek fans can with their universe.

Johnson has played in 19 games for Chicago for a total of 188 minutes. Without having any starts, she has spread the equivalent of 2 games of 90s over 19 games.
If Feuz wants to loan out a player to get real minutes, maybe he should have looked at Johnson.
