NWSL

Any of you follow the NWSL? And if so, what do you read/watch/listen to in order to get ready for the weekend games? Thinking about dabbling with Gotham fc this year and potentially the Royals return next year

Yes, nothing, don't follow any particular team. I follow the league's Twitter account where they announce televised matches, and I also use the Live Soccer TV app.

It's kind of like how I used to watch MLS before NYCFC existed, catch the occasional game because I like soccer in general.
 
I do watch sometimes, on Paramount +. It tends to be on weekend late afternoon and evening so it fills a nice gap after Euro leagues. I like it. Decent soccer, played by cute, fit young women :) Less flopping, drama, and time wasting.

I hope eventually we get a team in our stadium, either Gotham (name and colors check out) or a new one.
 
OK, the ending to the NWSL final had to be the most bonkers five or ten minutes to end a match I've ever seen. Unbelievable, and incredibly entertaining! Keeper red card for DOGSO handball, midfielder in goal because they were out of subs, took what felt like forever to get the keeper shirt on because she'd put the gloves on first, then madness for a couple of minutes of one-player-down defending in stoppage time. Gotham won 2-1, by the way.
 
What an amazing game! Congrats to Gotham for a great season! Worst to First baby! LFG!!!
 
Really fun game and a wild ending!

Now Gotham fans can be as annoyed as NYCFC fans when the next annual NY Post tweet "No NY sports team has won a title since 2012"
 
Gotham made some moves this winter. Bringing in Rose Lavelle, Crystal Dunn, Emily Sonnett, and Tierna Davidson. All USWNT members. I can’t wait to watch them ball out and go for a repeat!
 
Rose is so good. This team will be fun to watch.

There will likely come a time when we have an NYCFC in the NWSL, playing at Willets, and Gotham FC are the hated derby rivals from Jersey. But until that day...

Yeah, I definitely want to go to a match this season. Even if it's at that stadium LOL

Going to second that. I cannot wait to see Rose play. All of them should be exciting but Rose is a mf-ing baller
 
MLS to the American Soccer market.

Yeah, this doesn't make a ton of sense to me. Why not partner with the NWSL, like Gotham playing in RBA? Competing with them will just fragment the market, plus there's already another lower tier league, with a new team in Brooklyn just about to start up, so now we're talking about reallly oversaturating things perhaps. NWSL is already very popular, and growing. Partnering with them (and expanding) make tons more sense then competing with them in a new league.

Does anyone expect MLS to play nice in the sandbox? See US Open Cup and Leagues Cup.

Scarves and Spike have retracted the story as well.

Obviously not a great job by them for how it got here but I do want to give kudos to them for owning the mistake and publicly apologizing for it.

Too often these days when stuff like this happens, it's just quietly removed and not talked about again.

This will be a learning experience for them and make them better in the long run.
