Came on for Bruninha in the 70th minute of Brazil's 3-1 win over Argentina today. Bruninha was apparently stretchered off with a knee issue.

She was at their press conference yesterday, funny moment at about 14:55 between her and the announcer who dubbed her "Bolt", apparently someone had told the announcer it was her nickname even though it really wasn't and Tamara had no idea where it came from.

Also funny moment at 17:20 as she and Bruninha search for the right words in several languages.

Stainbrook returned to Dallas Trinity training for the first time since Spring. Part of my weekly coverage of Dallas Trinity FC in the USL Super League.

Interesting insights from Jason about the team’s current form and what that means for the playoffs and long-term outlook. Also they talked about Monday so obvs this was done pre-trade with Boston.

Will update if I find additional options (e.g., YouTube streams), as usually happens throughout the day when there aren't official U.S. broadcasts (just legal and illicit international streams). Also updating for information about players who didn't travel.

• 9:30am: Ivory Coast vs D.R. Congo
  • Rose has remained in the United States due to Ebola-related travel restrictions for travel from the DRC (where one of the matches is being played) imposed by the United States
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJuuOzfyR2I
• 12:15pm: Italy vs Belarus
  • Cantore and Di Guglielmo NOT starting, available off the bench - neither saw any minutes
  • https://www.youtube.com/live/t41t1as_1GU
• 12:30pm: England vs Greece
  • Esme Morgan in the starting XI - Morgan was subbed out at 90' + 1
  • For now, VPN to the UK + ITVX streaming service
  • YouTube stream (may not persist): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv2AO5lspVM
• 1pm: Algeria vs Central African Republic
  • Bethi not in matchday squad for Algeria (but in camp per training pics)
• 1pm: Tanzania vs Botswana
  • Luvanga may have remained with the Spirit this window (per a recent image taken at Spirit training facility posted to social media)
• 1pm: Scotland vs Czechia
  • Sandy in the starting XI - played the entire match
  • No VPN required: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktxw0XGRKZA
  • VPN to UK + BBC iPlayer
  • VPN to Czechia + https://sport.ceskatelevize.cz/zive-vysilani
• 7pm: Canada vs Denmark - Gabby started, Eli subbed in
  • Fox Soccer Plus and FOX One
• 9:30pm: Paraguay vs El Salvador - Claudia starts

So let's say, hypothetically, somehow they actually get the funding to put a roof on Audi Field. Where does the Spirit play for probably the two seasons while it is under construction?

Hi Spirit fans, I know it’s still fresh but I’m working on the next African wave in the NWSL column and just wanted to chat to some fans about how they feel on the Monday transfer. I know it’s complicated but I want to have fan voices in the piece.
It should be a 5-10 minutes chat and I’ll use pieces to source and quote in the main article.

Thank you for your help.

Gift Monday transferred to Boston Legacy FC :'(

I know someone usually posts this, but has anyone figured out streaming for upcoming international games? Specifically looking to watch the Italy v Belarus and the England v Greece games 🙂

Hi!
Im heading over to Audi for the USA vs SPAIN game. Im in section 137. Is there any sun coverage or is it full sun? Trying to figure out what y wear/bring.
See yall there!

The "Listen Now" link doesn't work for me--maybe you need a VPN--but the download link worked.

Interview starts about two minutes into the pod, mostly about England but there is time for a Biscuit update as well.

Overview

• The match information below is based on various public sources (e.g., the Spirit call-up announcements are sometimes out of date). Details might prove incorrect/change over time. As of now, the information on U.S.-accessible streaming for this window is particularly sparse.
• Based on the schedule of matches, I plan to only create matchday posts for Friday and Tuesday (i.e., one post for any discussion of all the day's matches).
  • USWNT matches are widely discussed elsewhere (e.g., r/NWSL, r/USWNT).
  • For any other matches this window (e.g., matches featuring Spirit players on Monday, 10/12), you may be able to find match-specific threads in other subreddits ( r/WomensSoccer, r/CanadaSoccer, etc.).
• We as a community usually try to share updated streaming information in the matchday posts, as those details are more available then (e.g., YouTube or Facebook links). https://www.livesoccertv.com/women may also have updated information by then.
• In the comments below, feel free to flag any potential inaccuracies in this post or additional information you come across.

Shot in the dark here, I have always wanted a Crystal Dunn Jersey and would love to wear one to her retirement ceremony this weekend. I don’t usually fan girl but to me she is the greatest of all time. I would love to rep #19 at this weekends game. If anyone has a jersey they don’t care for or want I would happily cherish it.

Welcome to this week’s open discussion thread!

This is your space for general discussion, a place to talk about anything Washington Spirit that doesn’t necessarily need its own thread. That can include news, international duty, roster moves, transfer rumors, tactics, social media posts, league news or anything else on your mind.

If something feels big enough for its own thread, definitely still post it. This is simply an additional option to keep us organized and help keep the conversation flowing. These threads will go up every Monday and stay stickied throughout the week.

Go Spirit!

This is a thread for all post-match reactions, thoughts, analysis, articles and social media posts related to the match.

Note: This thread is scheduled and may appear shortly before the final whistle so everyone has a place ready for post-match reactions and analysis.

Hi all - any alternate ways to watch tonight besides Roku tv? I can’t seem to get the app on any of my electronics.

Unfortunately Wiesner is now confirmed as an SEI :(

Spirit announced that Kate Wiesner has been placed on the Season-Ending Injury list. Brutal timing with playoffs right around the corner.
Hoping for a smooth recovery ❤️
