If you're new to Mastodon and looking for some #soccer people, most of us use the hashtag #MastodonFC. If you're looking for an instance filled with friendly soccer-loving folks, come check out thefooty.club
If you don't mind somebody who rambles endlessly about—among other things—#RBNY#MLS#GothamFC#NWSL#USMNT#USMNT and a seemingly endless list of obscure leagues and competitions, let's be friends.
The latest episode of *Full Time with Meg Linehan *has a great interview with Sam Mewis about FIFPRO - the global association of soccer player associations and unions:
I love how often Meg features collective organizing on her podcast. One of my favorite podcast episodes of all time was her breakdown of the (then-new) NWSL CBA with NWSLPA president Meghann Burke:
Our beloved Portland Thorns are quite exceptional. Back to the top of the table. Smith was a fearless force, but Sugita and Dunn put on a show. #BAONPDX#PortlandThorns#NWSL#Soccer#PDX
I am a #KCCurrent fan. The team has leaned into #KCBaby chant hard for the 2023 #NWSL season. “KC Baby!”is everywhere this year and quickly becoming part of team identity. I think it comes straight from the huddle. I should love it, but I don’t. One of the littles in my life nailed it earlier:
Adult: “KC Baby!”
4yo: “But they’re not babies. They’re big girls. …and they can handle it.”
Damn straight little one. [starry eyed] #KCMO#KCK
@spaceraser Games are available via Paramount+. #KCCurrent are building thd first women’s professional sports stadium in the world at Berkley Riverfront Park. (Vertical construction already begun.) It’s exciting and fun for #KCMO. I love the positive and inclusive atmosphere of the Team. #NWSL
Yet another #NWSL game (Gotham vs Wave) that we can’t watch because NWSL shifted the game from Paramount+ (which we paid for to be able to watch games) to CBSSN (which would require us to upgrade to a much higher FIOS package). It’s so infuriating how fan-unfriendly this shit is.
@mathowie I managed to get the iOS app in a state where I could watch it from 15:00 in the first half — but then tried casting it to my TV, and it reset the cache entirely, and landed me with 20 seconds left in the game.
I hate this “future” we are in. And I literally WANT to shovel my money at #NWSL but also want this bullshit to fuck allllllll the way off.
Happy that #NwSL is back in Boston… but not sure what I think about this “Bay FC” logo. Last couple new teams had bold and audacious branding. This seems like playing it safe. MLS teams play it safe. How’s that going for them? #MastodonFC
@reesecommabill you're being generous. Bay FC is a trash name. At least make it "Bay City" and reference Altered Carbon or something. The font is nice, but Bay FC is so dry and bland. It's like they couldn't decide and then just decided, "Eh, the team name doesn't really matter, pick the basic one".
Oakland Soul remains #1 bay area team. #NWSL
@mattg@RainbowFC stupid question, but do people actually watch cbssn? is it included with basic cable or something? I for one am not going to pay for yet another streaming service for a handful of #nwsl games each season
