Soccer Thread 2022-2023
Time for a new thread. The women are taking over the international stage.
Women's Euros start tomorrow on ESPN+. Big news today that Ballon d'Or and FIFA Best Women's Player winner Alexia Putellas who is also Spain's captain tore her ACL today and will miss the tournament. I will still be rooting for Spain though I expect England to win.
CONCACAF W Championship started yesterday with the USWNT beating Hati 3-0. It is streaming on Paramount. A win is a win but that performance was not a good one.
Finally, 39 days and 42 days after crowning their respective champions, the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying has begun.

"The blind soldier fought for me in this war. The least I can do now is fight for him. I have eyes. He hasn’t. I have a voice on the radio, he hasn’t. I was born a white man. And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
