I have lost a lot of respect for the FO in Portland. It is despicable to simply do nothing. Unfortunately, what little respect I ever had for league leadership has long since dissipated. #NWSL

I know I’m a homer but this Gotham group winning the shield would be particularly impressive considering injuries and transfers. #NWSL

Jenna Tonelli@jennatonelli.bsky.social

Not the most ideal outcome for Gotham but still good. Now they have a smidge of wiggle room. A win or draw will clinch the shield regardless of any other outcome next Sunday. A great opportunity to win it at home!

The NWSL's Best XI of the Month for September: GK – Angelina Anderson (LA) D – Janine Sonis (DEN), Sarah Gorden (LA), Sofia Huerta (SEA), Evelyn Shores (LA) M – Ally Sentnor (LA), Lindsey Heaps (DEN), Maiara Niehues (LA) F – Ashley Sanchez (NC), Sophia Wilson (POR), Aïssata (BOS)

Racing Louisville midfielder Savannah DeMelo went into cardiac arrest during an NWSL game in Sept. 2025. A little over a year later, the club announced that DeMelo will be available for selection on Saturday 💜 Plus, she signed a new contract, keeping her in Louisville through 2027 ✍️ 📸 IONNWSL

I’m genuinely surprised that Shaw didn’t make the roster, especially because Mal made it presumably as a 10 and Sanchez also made it as a forward. Shaw squeezed out before Sears and Cooper. #USWNT

Arianna Cascone@casconearianna.bsky.social

The NWSL's MVP award has been interpreted differently by folks over the years, but for me it's about who is absolutely crucial to their team's successes: take them out of the equation, and that team is markedly less successful Who better fits that description than NCC's Ashley Sanchez right now?

21 Aug

I am genuinely at a loss. I’m happy for Sarah, as I assume this is what she wants. I’ll miss her greatly for Gotham, though. #NWSL
