As a kid, I fell in love with the storytelling and power of sports. Three years ago, I quit my corporate job to chase an insane dream. Endless hours and hours of hard work since... I am honored to announce that I will be providing weekend NWSL coverage for The Associated Press!

i wanna make a little thread of the best places to get content for each team but i can only really attest to gotham, does anyone have any news recs for the other teams? could be newsletters, blogs, accounts from reporters who cover that specific team, etc.

@toshemkay Dufour will be later in the fall. Vilahamn provided an update on Hanks and Weaver and looks like they're training on grass now and will be adding contact/turf after the international break. Timeline will be determined in how they respond to that. Looks like mid/late Summer.

@Phuocerman WHEN are Hanks and Weaver back? And Dufour? So eager to see them on the pitch

The Portland Thorns front four this season so far... #BAONPDX Sophia Wilson/Olivia Moultrie/Pietra Tordin/Reilyn Turner -Accounting for 12 of the 13 goals (most in NWSL) -Two players with six goal contributions (OM & PT) -Caiya Hanks & Morgan Weaver are set to return later...

Q: What's the biggest difference you saw from the strong first half and second half struggles - especially as the metrics showed it was a tale of two halves? For folks wanting the video version of his response to my question:

"Obviously the data, and the performance in the second half is not good, but to win anyway, at Chicago, is brilliant." The honesty and reflection is a breath of fresh air in 2026. Robert Vilahamn has been very open throughout his short time in the Rose City.

Robert Vilahamn: "Now, I'm frustrated because I don't think we looked the way we wanted to. Extremely happy the players showed their character." "I wasn't as frustrated 1st half. We started the 2nd half very poor. We weren't good on the ball, never the right positions." #BAONPDX

Olivia Moultrie on becoming the youngest player to reach 100 NWSL appearances & her journey #BAONPDX "I can't believe I hit 100 games. I get to show up and do what I love every day." "To do it with the Thorns has been really special to me. It's a really special moment to me."

@PNWyams You'll love Vilahamn's quote from the presser. Will post once I receive the recording.

@Phuocerman Good teams win ugly! Gauntlet of a schedule to start the season, so very impressive to get such good results so far. Hopefully this means a run of lighter games/schedule after a while. Do hope to see the quality continue to get better, though. Def still need another central mid.

FT 2-0 Portland Thorns road win over Chicago Stars #BAONPDX - 3 Straight Wins WWW - Unbeaten in 5 - Fifth Clean Sheet out of 8 Matches - Remain in 1st in NWSL Table - Olivia Moultrie on 100th cap = Goal & Assist (team lead in both 4g/3a) - Reilyn Turner also scores 4th goal

One thing I'll add is picking up maximum points on a super short week (3 matches in 7 days) is impressive. The Portland Thorns played in three different time zones and figured out how to win in three different ways. ELITE teams are able to do that. Vilahamn/Lowdon/Vytas👏

Harvey and Immethun didn't even make the gameday roster. Club's main priority for the summer window is clear: stud defensive midfielder.

@PNWyams Oh 100% That's why the maximum points is so darn impressive. They figured out how to win three different ways this week in three different time zones.

@Phuocerman Do think traveling on both sides of a 3 game week is really tough also, especially when the home team hasn’t had to travel at all.

The front four have now accounted for 13/14 goals on the season. Their 14 total goals leads the NWSL.

Portland Thorns Call Game! #BAONPDX Olivia Moultrie played the perfectly-placed pass to Reilyn Turner. Gets to the ball before Alyssa Naeher & empty net goal 2-0. Fourth goal of the season - tying for team lead. OM up to 7 goal contributions on the szn - 4g,3a | most on team
