Seismic news here. Hayes is one of the best coaches in the women's game. Probably the one coach that could realistically bring the US forward after that disappointing WC.

Eugenie Le Sommer with some magic for Lyon.

NWSL Playoff semi-finals were great.

Gotham FC, led by USWNT legend Ali Krieger will meet OL Reign, also led by a USWNT Legend in Megan Rapinoe in the Championship game after beating Portland and San Diego respectively. This is the final game for both of their careers as both are retiring after this season. Really high stakes stuff and we're guaranteed a new champion that isn't Portland. Gonna have to go with Gotham on this one. They have more players that I like.

A banger from Katie Stengel (on loan from Liverpool) and a happy accidental worldie from Veronica Latsko were enough for both team to advance.

Wild game between England-Netherlands today for Olympic qualifying, which is brain-numbingly confusing. Basically, they had to win this one or they'd go out. Now their fate rests out of their hands of Scotland, who need to lose in order for Team GB to make it. Just crazy stuff.

So you're saying there's a chance...?

Italy took out newly minted World Champions Spain 3-2 as well. That's a huge upset. Spain hadn't lost a game since the group stage of the World Cup.
