A few thoughts:
Laura Ricketts & her teams have not done enough for her to be leading a WWC push. Advocacy is great but finishing dead last 3 of 4 your years in charge of ChiStars while not playing or building in downtown Chicago and the Sky are, at best, a dumpster fire. (1/2)

The #NWSL just sent out the following statement about availability of Zambia internationals this weekend.
ALT NEW YORK (October 16, 2026) - Following their participation with the Zambian Women’s National Team during the recent international window, several players are currently observing U.S. government public health re-entry protocols required for travelers returning from the East African region. The NWSL is working with its clubs and U.S. immigration to ensure the players' safe return; all players are in excellent health.
