I will update the OP with information on where to watch as it's found, along with additional websites/reporters covering the sport. If you want me to add a league or a cool website/twitterati that does good coverage, no problem! Just please post the details, for example I don't know the Scandinavian leagues well enough to know where to find their stuff. And if I made mistakes, let me know so I can fix them! I like women's soccer, but I'm not in any way an expert- especially on the European side of things. For the moment, here's a preview of the upcoming Liga MX Apertura. Right now I think only the NWSL is in season, most of the Euro leagues IIRC follow the traditional footballing season. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Jul 13, 2019 |

 This Weekend's MatchesNWSL Saturday, July 13, 2019 7pm Eastern US Time Seattle Reign @ North Carolina Courage: North Carolina dogwalked the league last season, and this season sit a single point behind first place Seattle just past the midway mark of the season. Both teams have a number of USWNT starters, and Crystal Dunn finally gets to be the attacking winger she usually is rather than forced to play left back. The match will be carried live on Yahoo Sports streaming. 8:30pm Eastern US Time Chicago Red Stars @ Houston Dash: Two lower midtable sides face off, with the Red Stars getting back several of their star players from the World Cup, including defender Julie Ertz and goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher. I'd imagine that'll help, given they're on a terrible run of form with three points from their last five matches. The Dash didn't send a single player to the USWNT. This match will also be streaming on Yahoo Sports. Sunday, July 14, 2019 3pm Eastern US Time Orlando Pride @ Portland Thorns: The Pride have Alex Morgan, the Thorns have Megan Rapinoe. We'll see if either play, or if they're still too hung over after the extended celebration. The Thorns are definitely the better team, sitting third on the table while the Pride are second to last. This match will be streaming on ESPN.com, and on Cable TV at ESPNNews.

A whole mess of NWSL players usually go play a full season in W-League as well. Site is here: https://www.w-league.com.au/ Thanks! Can't believe I forgot about the aussie league, considering how many of them spend their summers in the NWSL. e: I have no clue why this has the shitpost forums tag? Maybe it reset because I tried to use a ß for Fußball and it made me take the "illegal character" out of the title and reset my choice of tag at the same time? If a mod could change it to the sports one, I'd be very grateful!

Binary Badger posted:Thanks for the schedule, been following the US since World Cup play started. Dunn was real real good IMO. I know a couple people disagree to varying degrees, but I think most of them would still give her credit for growing into the position. OTOH I don't think the US got that lucky against England, I felt pretty confident at the time the pen was given that they still had a much better chance to win even if England ties the match. For one thing, they wouldn't have sat back in the 5-4-1 for the rest of the match.

I've enjoyed too many terrible people doing excellent sports things (biggest example, Curt Schilling in 2004) to have an opinion about a team I like affected by how terrible a person a particular player is. NC is real danged good, and Hinkle is a pretty good player even with her utterly lovely personal views. My biggest problem is that I'm from MA, so I'm not sure what to do since the Breakers broke up. I guess I could go with Washington, because Rose Lavelle is a goddamned midfield monster so long as her hamstrings don't yank themselves off the bone.

I dunno how long a break the players are getting. Most of the players from other national teams who play in the NWSL were back pretty quickly. I do know that US Soccer is making GBS threads all over the NWSL by having the national team start a victory tour of friendlies on August 3rd - right when the NWSL is heading into the home stretch of the season, which ends in early October. It's going to make the US Federation a metric fuckton of money, while paying the women not a whole lot, and depriving the NWSL of oxygen and some if its best players right at a time when people should be able to watch it. gently caress US Soccer.

I'm constantly impressed by the players who can go a full 90 despite it being hotter than two rats loving in a wool sock on the field. The best temperature for endurance sports that involve a lot of constant running is like 50-60 degrees F, and to be at a heat index well over 100 in the sunlight and still able to run around is crazy.Crazy Ted posted:Between the World Cup players and the injured, the team had an absence list consisting of something like sixteeen players 2-3 weekends ago. That's insane! Where were they getting enough players to field a team from?! e: Also, thanks Gigi for fixing the tag so this isn't listed as a shitpost! habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Jul 14, 2019 |

It's insane to me that we can't get a decent team in the Boswash belt. It's fertile ground for the game, and has a ton of stadiums to play in. It's getting late for NC. ... and as I type that they go off the post.

Red Stars might have to be my team since I don't have one up here in the totally unpopulated and totally culturally backward New England region. Naeher's header at the end of the game was gutsy as gently caress.

Today's NWSL matches 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time Chicago Red Stars @ Seattle Reign (Streaming on Yahoo Sports) - The Reign and Red Stars both look to keep pace with the top of the table, they're each six points behind league leading Portland. This is an important match, as the winner would move into playoff position while the loser would fall off the pace to make the four team playoff. The Reign currently have two games in hand, winning both would put them tied on points with the Thorns. Should be a banger. 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time Sky Blue @ Houston Dash (Streaming on Yahoo Sports) - Both teams are coming off a Wednesday loss, and for Houston it was a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Portland. Houston is the definition of meh, but Sky Blue are the most screwed team in the NWSL, so they should be looking to take all three points here. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Jul 28, 2019 |

Having watched the Red Stars vs the Courage, the Red Stars look like they're in fantastic form. Also, how the gently caress is the USWNT pulling players away from their clubs at the end of a season for a 10 (!) game victory tour starting this coming week? So frustrating.

Yeah, I know, and what truly galls me I guess is that the players will get paid less for any individual game that than the USMNT gets for being thoroughly poo poo on by Jamaica or Honduras in a friendly. As for the Reign, well, this was a case of sometimes you et the bear, and sometime the bear et you.

I'm still waiting on my Rose Lavelle jersey to show up in the mail. Ordered it right after the WC final, so that I didn't have time to think how much money I was spending. First official jersey I've ever bought despite being a giant baseball fan since I can remember. Suck on that, US Soccer's attorneys! Equal pay!

Atlanta would seem like a good fit for a team. Big metro area, well supported MLS team, plenty of venues to play at. Would still really like to see a team come back to Boston at some point, but the last thing the league can afford is overexpansion.
