And to think there were over 40,000 in here a month ago watching the #USWNT play soccer.
AKL just scored a try and lead 22-15 with 3 mins gone in the 2nd half.

"But the truth is, we don’t need a savior. We need a strategy." Christen Press
Absolutely true for the #USWNT, but I felt this in my bones re: every job I've ever had, too. The best bosses are strategic thinkers who get the most out of what they have, while developing a clear plan to identify and get what they don't have.

Well, I said from day one that England was the favorite to win this tournament
One game away. A thoroughly well-deserved victory
Now, if I'm the #USWNT, I'm throwing all the money I can at Gustavsson to become the next manager and we go from there

"While the attacks are crude and meritless, they have at least proven that the platforms of the USWNT as a whole, and those of players like Rapinoe, are significant and far-reaching. They have power, enough to be considered both a target and a threat. That’s still a deeply uncomfortable if not outright dangerous position to be in — there is a real, human cost to this vitriol we are forgetting as we debate whether to engage or not."
Meg Linehan nails it.

I feel like Sweden being ranked 3rd in the world entering #WWC2023 didn't get nearly enough attention while pundits were gleefully ripping the #USWNT to shreds. Coupled with the Lalas-Lloyd dog whistles about team "culture," you might think there was something else going on there? 🤔
Pic while at #wellington Stadium for the #Netherlands 🇳🇱 v #spain 🇪🇸 quarterfinal match. Like so many #USWNT fans I bought these tix assuming they’d finish at top of bracket and make it through Round of 16. I ended up at a pretty exciting game, nonetheless @wwc #mastodonfc

“The 2023 outrage has never been rational. It’s just one group shouting regardless of whether anyone is listening or not. It is rooted in misogyny and sexism, racism, homophobia and transphobia…”
Meg Linehan’s piece about the #USWNT is quite good.

I met Megan Rapinoe today! I tried not to fan girl too hard (at least externally LOL), but I did ask for a selfie 🤳 I’ve been sad I wouldn’t see the #USWNT play, but this was certainly a highlight of my trip ⚽️🇺🇸 #Auckland #NewZealand @wwc #mastodonfc

"The USWNT Lost The World Cup By Millimeters, Exposing Wider Issues"
by Neel Shelat for @Forbes
@DukeDuke as I was resigned to see almost no games this year due to the awful times they play at, I'm glad that the inevitable crash of the #USWNT happened now. It's a sad end to the dynasty but hopefully it gives renewed focus to get back on top in 4 years when I can actually enjoy it (assuming it's in a better time zone... I've not looked.)
Per FOS, the USWNT matches on Fox "averaged their best viewership numbers ever for a Women's World Cup during the group stage..."
#USWNT :uswnt: | #fifaworldcup
I'm glad I listened to this ep of Heath & Press' RE-CAP show with Jill Ellis after #USWNT was eliminated b/c its various insights are even clearer in hindsight.
One of the biggest differences b/w '19 and '23 is the former were fighting for more than a threepeat and had a trusted coach who was all-in with them on every level, in ways Vlatko simply never could be.
Meanwhile, many other countries are fighting that '19 fight this time around.

A day later, me still...
Dear #USWNT coach #VlatkoAdonovski:
R. Lowe on After the Whistle podcast asks same ? we all hv. What the HELL do u hv agnst subs? You saw impact Lynn Williams had- players tired after 270 mins & so much talent on the bench- ready. Agn, what the HELL do u hv agnst subs?
This ? was asked after every game. Yes, team wasn't where it shld be...but u...as a coach...failed the test.
US WOMENS SOCCER - pls get a new mger who will use his/her (pref HER) talent where it should be used.

#MeganRapinoe postgame: "There's some dark humor, me missing a fucking penalty at the end of this game.... I was like Jesus Christ, skying it?"
Clearly still processing it all, but had encouraging words for her teammates: "The kids are taking over." #USWNT
