So, OK, fine, who should be the next coach of the #USWNT?

(And yes, I think Vlatko should've been gone after the Olympics. Playing Cat Macario for 7 minutes in the wholllle Olympics was crime enough.)

And I'm back (after dinner) on my bullshit, transcribing Tobin Heath and Christen Press' video about the USAvPOR game. Their comments are very, shall we say, blunt!

I will thread these because it's getting oUT OF CONTROLLLL. I'll not tag wwc in the thread but will use hashtags for boosting purposes.

Had to interrupt my watching of Midge Purce and Katie Nolan with A.D. Franch to watch Tobin Heath and Christen Press with Abby Dahlkemper and Jess Fishlock. While I'm sorry that these folks aren't at the World Cup, I do not hate this YouTube onslaught!

Tobin tho: "The Canada thing. ... 🦗" TOBIN MY GOD. Too sooN! TOO SOON!

OK, so people interested in my #MasterRecycling experience - I also got certified as a “Community #Plastics Collector” last week. In our county in Oregon, that means we collect #2 HDPE lids, bottles smaller than a tennis ball, & tubs (& a few other things); #4 LDPE, mostly lids; and #5 PP lids, tubs, etc. (it’s mostly lids and dairy). Those go to Oregon’s Denton Plastics in Portland. They have to be absolutely dry and ABSOLUTELY free of food contamination or mold. (YIKES.) (1/ ? )

I'm slightly obsessed with the way England calls it "the last 16," the US calls it "Round of 16," and the French and Spanish etc. call it the 8ths (since the next are the quarterfinals). #WWC2023 @wwc

suzisteffen, 10 months ago to Dash

OK, I'm wiped out from the exhaustive "post-mortems" on the NOT ACTUALLY DEAD #USWNT. The latest one - it just appeared in my mailbox, from people I really like - says something about how "this can be fixed so it never happens again." Y'all. It's BORING if Germany, or the US, or Japan, or Norway (or the as-yet-have-not-won-a-WC England, or Nigeria, or Jamaica, or Colombia, etc). wins EVERY TIME. Also, it's SUPERB to make it to the round of 16!

Just adjusting my FotMob for the upcoming Euro seasons, doing things such as adding Damanskavellan and Kyra Cooney-Cross, adding FC Bayern München because of Eriksson and Harder (already following them though), etc. What players and teams will you be trying to follow in the seasons TK, not to mention the end of the #NWSL season? @nwsl @wwc #WoSo

I cannot stop reading about the Hugos and I just ... cannot at all ... figure anything out. What the entire f*ck, beginning to end?

There's an article on Carlos on the Athletic, and PLEASE SHUT UP, C*RLI LLOYD, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ONE MORE WORD FROM YOU, EVER. Not opening said article.

Whew. Er ... I've been enjoying Telemundo's #WWC2023 broadcasts, the Re-Cap show from Heath and Press, the Athletic Women's Football podcast, Equalizer pod, Guardian women's football pod, Meg Linehan & Steph Yang on Full Time, the women of Gist, the women of In These Cleats, even Brendan Hunt & Rebecca Lowe's After the Whistle.

Devastated for Keira Walsh, and this will be very tough for the Lionesses. England without Mead, Kirby, Williamson, and Walsh? Holy hells. Whewwwww damn. @wwc

suzisteffen, 10 months ago to wwc

Jeez the Athletic's feelings about this USWNT game are ... grim. "Here is a series of imagined possibilities for a better world from five of The Athletic’s writers, even if we know deep down that a better world isn’t possible." Whewwww. https://theathletic.com/4751703/2023/08/05/uswnt-sweden-starting-xi/

Wow, our 10-game package seats are ... kinda high up, lol. #SeattleStorm #WNBA looks like Nneka Ogwumike is starting, and so is CC. Pretty amazing! Sold out arena. But not a ton of people here yet, which is weird since the game starts in 29 minutes. #IndianaFever #CaitlinClark #AliyahBoston #JewelLoyd #NnekaOgumwike

Midge Purce on the 91st is like "dummies, I told you last week that Portugal were good, and you didn't believe me! DO YOU REMEMBER 2021???"

Also I feel that the lack of Sam Mewis and no Cat Macario = massively underdiscussed problems.

Is there a run rule in the round of 16, asking for a Swiss friend. (My FotMob keeps going off and I know what's happening and yes, it's 4-1 and Spain have scored ALL of the goals.) #WWC2023 #MastodonFC #FIFAWWC @wwc

suzisteffen, 8 months ago to wwc

Wait in this #UEFA Nations League or whatever, Denmark beat Germany 2-0?! What world is this? Wild. #woso @wwc (kinda testing if that group still works, which I hope it does)

Hi, I'm over here screaming EMAA HAYES! EMMA!! HAYES!!!! OMG EMMA!!!!!!!!! HAYES!!!!!! But I'm so worried that great club managers have a damned hard time at the national level. (Also, I've enjoyed cheering for Chelsea, and ... hm. )

You?

Just finished Nick Harkaway's superb, melancholy, violent private detective SF #mystery, Titanium Noir, which was on @tithenai's NYT best 10 #SFF books of 2023. Would absolutely recommend!

So, Eugene. #AmericanFiction doesn't open here until next Thursday and I'm debating just getting a ticket now. Hmmmm. (Also, if you watched Rustin and saw Jeffrey Wright as Adam Clayton Powell, as I did, it's going to be so interesting to see him in AF.) (I hope!) I have loved Cord Jefferson's work on just about everything for YEARS, so I'm excited to see his first big movie. (I hope first of many!)
