NWSL announces updates to competition rules

I don’t think of myself as a candidate for ![email protected] but now that I can get people kicked out of NWSL games…

Finally, the NWSL has updated its Fan Code of Conduct. The updated policy formally extends into digital and social spaces by including a new Digital Code of Conduct that outlines prohibited online behavior. This includes threats, harassment, discriminatory language, and abuse that is directed towards players, clubs, officials, and other fans.

Private community here on the fediverse?

If you are looking for safety, your best bet (and I know this sounds bad but stick with me) is to go the Truth Social route and stand up a threadiverse instance and defederate from everyone. There really isn't privacy in fedi, but if you don't federate, it'll limit your exposure to only the admins of your instance.

97% Of American Soccer Fans Right Now

What is the 200,000 person country the US beat into the ground that none of us has ever heard of the video is referencing? Paraguay?

And yeah, the only reason I feel confident we'll hit the standard for success in CONCACAF (el quinto partido) is because there's an extra round in the knockouts. The first time we encounter a serious soccering nation, a lot of US bandwagoners are gonna see there's levels to this.

The French aristocrat and the all-American idiot: Henry v Lalas is the World Cup’s most compelling battle

Alexi keeps getting play on Fox because he is one of a very small number prominently pro-Trump voices in soccer. There are so many better commentators they could put in there who had great careers with the US and/or in the United States -- Ale Bedoya, Bill Hamid, Diego Valeri, heck I bet even Sam Mewis could learn the boys' names in time -- but they're not white republican men. Watching Telemundo is much more enjoyable.
