My main takeaway from the NWSL awards finalists is that Meghan Klingenberg is having the best season of her career and no one seems to have noticed. It's very weird!

Logging back in briefly to just say I've really been enjoying @TheDanLauletta's articles on the history of big NWSL trades. Thanks Dan!

Dramatic finish to the Damallsvenskan season, by the way, with Hammarby winning the title for the first time in four decades--finishing level on points but holding off Häcken with a goal difference of 44 to Häcken's 43.

One weird thing about sports in America is that your champion can be a team who finished the season with a +1 goal difference

Well, if you were asking for a dramatic finish

Just popping back over to this hell-app to say how DARE they redesign the NWSL trophy. Sure it's sleek and interesting now, but how can you improve on what is already perfect?

Finally got an account at the other place. You can find me at olneyce over there. So if you want the occasional joke, update about the kiddo, or random Damallsvenskan thoughts, that's where I'll be.

Data science is my passion

Logged back into twitter for a second to find out what the heck is going on with this US Open delay. General consensus of my feed: "what the heck is going on with this US Open delay." Ah yes, twitter I remember you. Let's go Madi (at some point)!

Back in the US, which apparently means Tweetdeck is now inaccessible. So I guess that's it for me around here. It's been (occasionally) fun, y'all.

Betting odds have had England as the favorite to win the tournament for pretty much the whole tournament, roughly four times more likely to win it than Australia.

There's a lot of 'this one super sub would completely change the game and we would win' on this app, and it's mostly very silly. On the other hand, Rebecka Blomqvist.

Coming into the tournament, I knew Rubensson was great, but I definitely didn't realize how great. Incredible performances.

Eric's comment when I told him that Sweden were playing today as I was dropping him off at förskola: "Sweden is...players"

The Swedish gameplan of 'hope Spain continues to play sloppy passes and maybe we can score' is not the *worst* approach, but I wouldn't bet heavily on it working out.

Hearing rumors that there will be a new Nobel Prize awarded this year in the category of Just Clearing the Damn Ball.

US population: 332 million Combined population of England, Spain, Australia, and Sweden: 140 million

Like, yes it's overly simplistic to say 'if there was a European Union team, they would pretty routinely crush the United States' but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

The US population is 30 times as big as Sweden, almost 20 times as big as the Netherlands, and roughly 117 times as big as Jamaica.
