So unless I’m mistaken, that would be $35,000 to Chicago per the 2024 Hocking trade terms that included the “Stars will receive 10% on any transfer fee Bay FC receives in a future transfer of Hocking”

Iranian women's football players have asylum in Australia, but what now? – podcast Women’s football journalist Samantha Lewis speaks to Nour Haydar about what went on behind the scenes to keep the women in Australia, whether more players could do so and what happens next

I spoke to the Full Story team about Iran at the #AFCWAC, with two more players (and I’m hearing one staff member) having been granted asylum overnight. my biggest question now is: why weren’t the tournament organisers prepared for this?

Meet Huntingdon Valley-bred Erica Dambach, who built Penn State’s pipeline to the USWNT Nineteen years into her tenure as Penn State’s head women’s soccer coach, Dambach has built one of the nation’s top college programs and has sent a raft of players to the sport's biggest stages.

I've wanted for a long time to write a good feature on Erica Dambach, Penn State's women's soccer coach who grew up in the Philly suburbs and runs one of the college game's top programs.

This week, I did it.

Good timing too, with the #USWNT back in the northeast:

Gotta be honest: if this comes while major efforts to improve NWSL broadcast quality don't happen, it's like putting in a chandelier in a house missing a wall.

And after all that, DPR Korea make a double substitution seconds before the whistle blows for halftime.

🔴 LIVE | DPR Korea vs Uzbekistan | AFC Women's Asian Cup™ 2026 YouTube video by AFC Asian Cup

10 minutes added to the first half and we’ve already seen a goalie sub for injury, two penalties, and a first half hattrick. Three yellow cards all in stoppage time, so far.

Absolutely worth tuning in, if you can.

The corporate takeover of media is a threat to our democracy & the delivery of the truth to the American people.

I commend County Executive Ball & local leaders in Howard Co for working to block ICE's attempt to set up another detention facility in Maryland.

We saw the inhumanity of ICE's operation in Baltimore & Marylanders have made clear: we do not want these facilities in our state.

Sylvs joined André for a chat about the future of the USWNT, not in terms of results but something just as important (if not more so): its advocacy. We discuss what’s missing, and how to reclaim it.

This line ought to set off a huge alarm at MLS HQ:

"The Loons were negotiating transfer deals with Slovenian midfielder Tomi Horvat and Dutch defender Cherrion Valerius, but both players cited concerns about life in Minnesota for them and their families as why they declined contracts with MNUFC."

Teams should be conscious about the fact that celebrating Black excellence, Black history, and Black culture on the field and in the city in which they reside doesn't require a specific date to fall in line with their schedule. They can just...do it.

the same billionaire that funds your favorite sports team also funds ICE The Minnesota Frost had a moment of silence to honor the legacy of a woman who was killed by a government agency whose work is partially funded by the owner of the Frost itself.

NEW: The Minnesota Frost had a moment of silence to honor the legacy of a woman who was killed by a government agency whose work is partially funded by the owner of the Frost itself. No wonder they’re censoring anti-ICE signs.

Covered this back then and it’s basically down to the serifs on the letters. When there are serifs, it’s harder for anyone using a screen reader to get an accurate reading of the letter.

Same is true for many people with dyslexia. bsky.app/profile/roey...

I’ve only gotten to do what I’ve gotten to do in sport because I’ve had her by my side. She stepped up to keep me safe every single day no matter what we did, for adventures I never could have imagined before her. Now, I’m back in that same spot. Any help is appreciated more than I can say.

Donate to Help Peyton Regain Independence After Loss of Service Dog, organized by Peyton Skeels My name is Peyton, and I am fundraising to bring home and trai… Peyton Skeels needs your support for Help Peyton Regain Independence After Loss of Service Dog

I’m not sure I’ll ever find the right words for this.
In October, my service dog died suddenly. If you’ve seen me, in a stadium, on a sideline, in a press box, you’ve seen her.
While I mourn her, I must look forward to find her successor. Please share & consider donating if able

The ‘Not One More’ report recorded indigenous deaths and disappearances, and provided resources and policy suggestions to address the crisis
