    ....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.

    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.

    My rep is mainly for the penguin avatar...

    ...but I of course appreciate a Japanese presence in NC Courage :thumbsup: (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. Thompson follows in the footsteps of NC Courage Academy Director Sean Nahas, who is also an Assistant Coach with the Courage and Nathan Thackeray, who is now a full-time assistant.​

    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’m surprised. Was expecting her to stay.

    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.

    Is there anything we can do to support this being finished and released?

    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.

    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.

    Free agent midfielder Debinha has informed the North Carolina Courage that she will not be returning to the club for the 2023 season, the National Women’s Soccer League team announced on Thursday.

    Debinha, who was declared an NWSL free agent by an independent arbitrator earlier this offseason, spent six seasons with the Courage, joining the team in 2017.
