In the meantime FAWSL is a lot of fun to watch. Arsenal has about 1/3 of the Dutch national team starters + Kim Little, most of the familiar NWSL Aussie players have moved over there, and of course we have the big USWNT names.

Just wish Debinha had taken a loan deal...

The Courage have already been carved up, why not take another few slices?

Next month the US will be hosting their annual SheBelieves Cup with Canada, Japan and Brazil as the competition down in Orlando.

I question the sanity of anyone intentionally travelling into the US right now.

I hadn't realized this tournament was happening! Glad I found out in time to catch a couple of games.

USA vs Brazil is starting right now. Here's the schedule for the rest:

- Argentina vs Canada, 2/21 at 6 pm Eastern
- Canada vs Brazil, 2/24 at 4 pm Eastern
- USA vs Argentina, 2/24 at 7 pm Eastern

Also glad to see we're not starting Carli Lloyd today. I don't think she has it at the international level anymore.

Real nice goal by Press, and man Crystal Dunn is so, so fast.

Some serious sloppiness at the back by the US since the goal.

I love most of this team, but I just have so much fun watching Rose with the ball.

edit: I think Alex Morgan flops sometimes, but I also think that she gets the absolute poo poo knocked out of her virtually every match. I wonder if she's just like constantly talking trash or something; it's wild.

Kinda forgot this was the opening weekend for NWSL (in my defense, my team is the one with a bye this week). Caught the 2nd half of Portland-KC, which in the last 10 minutes saw 3 players and a coach get ejected...that I managed to completely miss seeing live.

Weaver might have deserved a yellow there, but from my perspective Edmonds was the instigator and Weaver’s red was way too harsh. Lol Merritt had tweeted out a second angle but has deleted it already.

Simone Charley’s second yellow was a stupid challenge in KCs 18, absolutely a card. Not sure what made MarPar think that was worth getting his own red for but that’s why he’s the gaffer.

Yeah, I am astonished that the refs missed that. I know it's just a friendly but I hope there's some sort of post-match punishment, that was vicious.

Mewis & Lavelle is a lot of talent to lose at once, even if Lavelle didn't fit City's regular formation.

Oh, and double post, but the WSL is coming down to a potential photo finish. Man City is on 52 points with West Ham to play on May 9. Chelsea is on 51 points with Tottenham to play tomorrow and Reading on May 9.

Chelsea holds the goal differential tiebreaker at the moment, at +52 to City's +51. If they ended up even on points and GD, though, City presently holds the second tiebreaker (goals scored).

The ideal outcome for chaos, then, is that Tottenham holds Chelsea to a 1-1 draw tomorrow, giving Chelsea a 1 goal lead in goal differential going into the games on Sunday. However, if Tottenham is anything like their mens side, I'm expecting them to blow it.

Tomorrow's Tottenham/Chelsea tilt is airing on NBCSN and NBCsports.com here in the US at 12:30 pm Eastern.

Chelsea didn't make it exciting yesterday. Scored at 2' and never looked back.

the whole coaching staff was canned today though.

They brought in Marcus Bignot when they were scuffling mid season with a mandate to keep the team up, which he achieved, so his departure was expected. But Davies (head coach) and Sugarman (assistant manager) were both let go. I hope this indicates that the club will be spending more money on the women's game and will be bringing on new and better staff.

That Lyon-Reign pipeline will finally start flowing towards America as this summer as after the the June FIFA international window Eugenie Le Sommer, Dzsenifer Marozsán and Sarah Bouhaddi will all be joining the Reign on loan for the remainder of the season. That's one hell of a set of summer reinforcements.

Oh, and the Reign still own the NWSL rights to Rose Lavelle. Just FYI.
