....MidWinter Avatar Change..... Before signing Diane Caldwell, NC signed forward Elizabeth Addo, captain of the Ghana Women’s National Team. She is 27, played for the Reign in 2018, in China, and most recently at Appolon Ladies. 1351220307487412224 is not a valid tweet id And today's Big News - Naomi Osaka is now part owner of the NC Courage. Hopefully this means Paul Riley will finally be motivated to add a women as one of his full time assitant coaches. https://www.nccourage.com/news_article/show/1142751
My rep is mainly for the penguin avatar... ...but I of course appreciate a Japanese presence in NC Courage (although I already knew the news before reading them here).
FINALLY! A female assistant coach: Welcome to the NC Courage coaching staff, Emma Thomson! There is a nice Bio here: https://www.nccourage.com/coaching-staff Thomson is currently on staff as a Girls ENCL full time staff coach with NCFC Youth. She will focus on coaching the Courage defense. "Having NCFC Youth staff coaches plugged into the NC Courage is an important component for the club.

Paul Riley @prileyfury4life 11h In 2018 a documentary crew filmed the @TheNCCourage incredible season. The series is almost done. Been sitting on a shelf at @Film45 (#PeterBerg's production company). Show needs to be seen! Here is the trailer: @lisainog @jennhildreth @TheNCCourage The Squad trailer.mp4 drive.google.com
Dan Lauletta @TheDanLauletta 6h Multiple sources have confirmed Sam Mewis is on her way back to the #NWSL and North Carolina Courage. This is expected to happen ahead of the #USWNT trip to Japan for the Olympics
I guess she wants to come back while still in good shape playing continuously in NWSL. Maybe she can go back to FA WSL afterwards.
Awesome Denise O'Sullivan interview. She explains how to play the 4-2-2-2 formation. The soccer guy interviewing her was intrigued. Starting at about 8:00 she begins with changing her position from a 10 to a 6 and then after that, the "box midfield" discussion takes place.

Yeah like WTF, I didn't have Jaelene Daniels(aka. Hinkle) returning on my bingo card. I thought she was gone for good. Now we have two bigots in this league(including the one Portland just drafted) Ughhhhhhh...
bigotry nou big·ot·ry | \ ˈbi-gə-trē \ plural bigotries Definition of bigotry 1: obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices Conundrum, isn’t it.
Sinead Farrelly: "Inclusion can feel triggering when we’ve been excluded. Oppression, exclusion and suppression creates a fear of ‘other’. It creates anger towards ‘other’. All those feelings are valid. And still, exclusion won’t cure exclusion. Hate won’t cure hate. There’s another way."
The fascist fan base isn't going to help NWSL. A player opts not to wear the Pride jersey once - says it's not her fight. And, she's tarred & feathered for life. Fascism sucks. Only.My.Point.of.View.Permitted! Meanwhile the Fed continues to allow the P******to! fan base to convene in the U.S. several times/year. Hypocrisy.
The lines are becoming blurred between soccer and activism. I'm not watching the NWSL to get my daily dose of woke therapy. Let the lady play soccer. Diversity of thought made this country.
