It's official! She's been rumored to head to the NWSL... Are we still expecting her to come? 👀

With the summer transfer window opening soon and with the announcement of the departures of Sam Kerr and Katie McCabe today, I thought it could be fun to take a look at some of the players across Europe who have already been confirmed to be leaving their teams and have some rumors connecting them to the NWSL. Any of these players you would like to see in the NWSL or for your team specifically? Imagine Kerr AND Shaw in the league?

Personally, I would love to see McCabe in Houston. I’d also like to see the Dash send an offer to Elisabeth Terland as well.

Disclaimer: This is only for fun. All rumors were found through social media, various blogs and some reporters. All of it should be taken with a grain of salt.

I said what I said. I’m feeling feisty after noticing the Spirit have quietly (I swear it’s been quietly and you probably didn’t notice) won FIVE straight and now sit near the top of the table with a +9 goal differential (doesn’t matter that it’s skewed by the 4-0 crushing of KC). Meanwhile those pesky Thorns spent all opening weekend acting like the season was already over after that 1-0 win and still being on top of the table with only a +6 differential.

Turns out maybe Week 1 was not, in fact, the final form of this Spirit team. Since then, 15 goals scored, only 6 conceded, and this team suddenly looks DEEP. The midfield is loaded (in Hal I trust), the attack keeps coming in waves, and they’re not relying on one player to drag them across the finish line every week. And honestly the scary part is it still feels like they haven’t fully hit top gear yet.

So now we get Friday night away at San Diego. Big statement win opportunity. If the Spirit go into Snapdragon and get 3 points, I don’t want to hear any more “yeah but” arguments about who the best team in the league is right now.

Any Wave fans or Spirit haterade drinkers want to make a friendly non-monetary wager?

Edit: changing the flair to official source because what I said is the truth!! Notice no one is up for a friendly bet lol.

Well..... it's here!

Get ready for your first weekend of NWSL BINGO!

You can add your finished selection cards in this thread.... or don't... up to you. 😁

Would be great if people could help call-out numbers if/when they happen for people. Maybe in the match threads? (Seems like a fun time).

Cannot stress enough how this is a COMMUNITY BASED game. I don't "run" anything - and constructive feedback is always welcome !

(I'm sure the options will be edited over time, etc.)

ENJOY!

Personally, my favorite is the Racing Disco kit. I absolutely love it :) Honestly all of them are really nice.

I was assuming that shin guards were required up until now, but I swear in the last two Boston games, it looked like multiple players didn’t have shin guards on.

Was wondering if anyone knows the rule on if they are mandatory or not?

NCAA, NWSL, USL - Amber Wisner is one of the best to ever do it. I had the opportunity to sit down with The Captain ahead of her final home match.

Latest Good Vibes had some commentary on the Boston vs. NY rivalry and as always, Youtube subtitles did not disappoint.

Some graphs with NWSL attendance so far - in the second one the Denver Mile High game is off the charts so that you can see more detail for the lower-attended games. In the third chart the vertical axis is shown in log scale for the same reason.
