Look, its been decided that pinoe is old and bad now so we can disregard the fact that she leads club and country in goals and assists per minute (by a long shot), is always at the top/near top in the stats for games and is a vitally important leader on the pitch. Twitter says shes a decrepit old lady 🙄 seriously, she may not be an every minute player anymore but there are very few people as effective and impactful as her in game. Even if her life calling is really being sues photographer 😂

Truly her life calling lol 👩‍🎤📸⛹🏻‍♀️

Honestly soccer twitter is putting sooo so much pressure on younger players with this. And when younger players aren't clutch in the few difference-making moments of this fickle sport? Then soccer twitter is gonna say "oh well, the team lacks experience... they'll get better in the coming years..." And then as the years go by, they'll find another veteran to be the team scape goat. The cycle of soccer.

The hate increased after the Olympic, people blame losing the gold on the older players. I think people should do some fact checks before BSing. Megan is still contributing greatly for the NT and club, and I believe the NT coach is not blind

I’m from overseas so I’m not quite understand the story of UConn Huskies… but I kind of get it

I kinda like the “Megan’s one cute god medal”joke - from the Seattle TV lunch interview, Megan bought this up and when I supposed the joke’s ended, but Sue not letting it go “what did your mom says” “oh, she said my career isn’t that impressive anymore” then everyone laughted. I thought, sue really enjoyed these “praises”

Same story in Shawn and Andrew’s relationship podcast, Shawn (to Andrew): if you ever said this I’ll hurt you.

Of course Megan never cared or bothered about Sue’s insulting, that’s why Sue’s thinks she and Megan is a fit 😂😂

Megan's gotta just love it or find it hilarious because Sue does it all the time. If she can't find it funny, she'll need to find someone else. And that someone else probably won't be a basketball player.

The insults/jokes/roasting/shit-talking thing is a basketball thing. You need to be able to give and take insults in basketball. Sue's not known as a shit-talker on the court. As point guard, she's constantly communicating plays, so there's no time to insult opponents. But, she's also a teacher and mentor to her teammates. Part of that mentorship involves roasting/insulting them a bit in practice. Nothing personal or terrible. Just the average level of basketball insult. If she wants her squad to be tough against Diana, and she always does, she needs them to be tough against shit-talk.

Diana's the best shit-talker in the league. She's a complete sweetheart off the court. But, on the court she's insulting everyone all the time. It's almost like Diana and Sue's on-court and off-court personalities are flipped.

I found that’s hilarious 😂 sue even said the London medal is the biggest😂😂

I don’t see sue as a trash talker, Diana definitely is

NBA players talk trash all the time, I think this is a part of basketball culture

At some point this fandom is gonna have to grapple with the fact that she is always getting good statistics and that might mean shes doing better than their biases allow. There's a reason shes always at the top of chances creation, assists/goals, passes etc etc. She screws up once or twice and that becomes the whole story in a way it doesn't for others.

Very, very true about Megan’s relatively solid stats and impact on the game. Sadly, I don’t think that a lot of folks will make the effort to come to terms with that fact. They’ve decided that they despise her, and they are on that train for good. I hope I’m wrong though!!

Other players—namely Morgan, Heath, and Press if we are talking about forwards—are given the benefit of the doubt when they have a slip up and Megan isn’t afforded that luxury. Don’t get me wrong, I think everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt with a few mistakes. I mean I would hate it if I was working and people just picked out a couple of my mistakes to focus on and not my body of work. If we wouldn’t like it, we shouldn’t do it to others, including pro athletes.

Morgan was slow as a forward. Her speed limited her "onside" scoring ability (HaHaHa). Press has speed but she fucking lost the ball during her run (awful, really awful). Press is the same Press, who performed well against weak defense teams but choked during big moment. Pinoe's speed does not matter, because she has Ben slow since her third ACL injury in 2017 (or maybe she has always been slow according to 2011 world cup vid o and 2012 Olympic games). Even with limited speed, Pinoe could still pass defenders, which only Rose and her did during the Netherlands game. Morgan, Press, Health and Lylod could not fucking pass defenders and make shots at the quarterfinals. Had it not for Pinoe, Morgan and Press could've not touch the ball. If you they wanna trash Pinoe, that's ok. But please don't trash her with the example of Press, Heath, and Morgan, all of whom were bad in their position and could not even stay onside. Only Lynn could replace Pinoe from my prospective. Lynn was a better version of Press, who had speed and precision without choking at big moment.

Alex was one of my favourite players, my most favourite forward of USWNT like, ten years ago. But for the recent years, yes I found her being slow and same thought as you about Christen. With all these young talented forwards on board, I worry about Alex’s WC spot more than Pinoe (I’d love to see Tobin in WC 2023 as long as she’s healthy)

I love Pinoe because she’s that clutch player and very skilled. People said she needs to retire and I think no one can replace her, right now

World cup is not like you can play Thailand every round

Hello.

I love your idea of Sue retiring from Olympic and not saying like “retire from international games” leaving us some hopes... but if she playing for the world championship 2022, I think she’d stay with Storm as well, and, that it’s about time for her to get ready for the intense season

Avatar

Yes I definitely think the Storm is Sue's priority. She'll come back for the 2022 WNBA season but I don't know about the national team.

Taurasi will try to do whatever Bird does. I know she wants to come back for the 2022 WNBA season, but it might not be possible.

I think there's a bigger chance Sylvia Fowles will return to the Team USA roster. I'm so curious what WNBA team Syl will play for next year!!! With Napheesa Collier pregnant, the Lynx are completely done for now. If Syl wants another championship, she could come play in Seattle! She's got friends on the Seattle team. But adding another max salary player would mean cutting some of my favorite Storm players... 😭I hate that part!

As I’m sick in using Tumblr (no idea of how to reply after years) I’m trying to forward with comment and hope you’d see it

And to let you know how much I like your blog 😊😊😊👍🏽

Hope Solo was kicked off the USWNT on August 24 2016. Megan Rapinoe kneeled for the first time on September 15 2016 so the idea that Hope would know ANYTHING about Megan “bullying players to kneel” is laughable.

Anyway, fuck Hope Solo forever.

I read that Carli was the one who still talked to hope solo and probably gave her that “insider news”, especially the timing

But I don’t believe it... let alone the carli part, if it’s true, the current players should have said that.

A coffee shop AU where Dina is tired, Ellie doesn’t like coffee and the timing just keeps not being right.

The final part is now here :)

(apologies for taking 5 billion years, hopefully its sweet enough to make up for the delay)

My favourite writer updating my favourite fanfic, made my day

An Analysis of Ellie

In honor of The Last Of Us Day, I’m finally gonna drag out this headcanon I’ve had in my drafts forever. If you choose to read this, good luck because it’s a long time. 

Of course, SPOILERS AHEAD. 

So, this all started with me thinking about how Ellie has suffered from survivor’s guilt ever since she discovered her immunity, when she was meant to die with her girlfriend/best friend Riley. 

In that moment, Ellie had already embraced death and wanted to share it with her loved one, but that was robbed from her. She continued to live while forced to watch who might have been the first person she ever loved turn from infection. Ellie had no explanation for why that gift of immunity had been given to her. She had that gift thrust upon her by forces outside of her control. Ellie had to contend with her new existence as someone immune to the infection that had torn apart Earth’s reality, trapped in a paradox as a young teenage girl in a post apocalyptic world, until Marlene relieved her of that pressure by giving her life meaning, by giving purpose to her immunity and bestowing an important identity upon her: the savior of the human race.

I hope this message goes to you, I still haven’t figured out how to reply...

Every time I thought about Ellie, I felt sad. She’s my most favourite character of the entire game world...

There is so much to say/ think about her, too much thoughts, no enough words. She will forever be our baby girl, I wish her all the best

i am constantly thinking about that dialogue between ellie and dina on patrol where dina asks ellie what she’s doing that night, and after dina tells ellie about her plans to sneak out and go sledding with her friends, she asks “you wanna meet up after?” i literally cannot get it out of my mind that dina wanted to meet up and potentially make out/hook up/have sex with ellie like they did in the weed bunker. like if they hadn’t found themselves stuck down there, dina was probably planning to make the same move on her that night when they met up. it makes sense that she was pretty persistent on getting some alone time with ellie. i cant stop thinking about this god help me

Hello, I had a hard time figuring out how to reply, and even google it but no clue, hope I can make it this time

Dina is apparently very aggressive in this relationship, I think. In the flashback Ellie told Joel that Dina and Jesse went on and off, I immediately went to the conclusion of Dina was actually finding a right time to start with Ellie. Then there was Cat, Dina was all jealous and probably stayed with Jesse

Dina really wasted no time and kind of making up all these years she’s been waiting, definitely wanted more after she finally kissed the person she’s in love for a long time
