This trend of US players criticizing US fans after going overseas is gross. as someone who understands the game of soccer and also puts in a lot of effort on game day and beyond to ensure we’re not just saying “go defense” it’s offensive and I think it’s time for a new captain
This is not real life.
Honey we used to at a college stadium of maybe 2,000 sometimes. With people refusing to play for this club. I actually can’t handle this
Ask me how many coworkers I’ve talked to about Crystal Dunn this morning. All of them, also students too. I’m tired of only seeing Morgan jerseys when anyone wears a uswnt kit. I’ll make Gotham fans of these kids yet
All I’m saying is if Gotham signs Crystal before the weekend is over, I will walk into my superintendent’s office on Monday and demand they rename the new field after her. (I teach in the district where she went to high school)
Everyone wants more banter and shithousing in woso until someone actually does it and then it’s how dare you say that about my team, now I’m gonna throw around wild accusations and bring up past indiscretions.
It’s not that deep, unclench your asshole and laugh a little
I had a sip of beer at the airport bar and the emotions won. It’s a bit long and chaotic, but this so is this season. Please read if you have a second.

As much as I am selfishly disappointed for cloud 9, I’m also disappointed for the players. They are the first ny/nj team to win a major title in years and they are getting the bare minimum celebration
We’ve never wanted extravagant and we don’t need it now. We just want thoughtfulness and an opportunity to show gratitude to players who gave us the greatest triumph in club history after so many years of heartache and disappointment
The fans who have supported Gotham FC are the backbone of the club, yet we let you down. We extend our sincere apology and recognize you deserved the chance to celebrate our champion athletes who brought the trophy home.
YOU WERE SURPRISED??? This team was in the top half of the table all season, broke NC’s home playoff streak, beat Portland at home, and you were surprised, how dare you. Don’t belittle their success because you fucked up.
One more thing:
@kelleymohara
coming back to Gotham 6 years after leaving Sky Blue was already a huge deal. But winning a championship in her return season? C’mon now. Seeing her come over to
@goddam
to celebrate was one of the best moments
I got to attend a screening of the first two episodes of the Netflix uswnt doc, Under Pressure. It is incredible and also unexpectedly hilarious(mostly due to Kristie Mewis). Thanks
@GothamFC
for having us!
@Cloud9GOTH
we were only a little loud
Look, I get that it’s now the off-season and players go back home or onto other things and whatever, but the fans, especially Cloud 9 deserves even a moment of celebration. Everything we have been through with this club to not have something is bs

festivities for Thursday
- Trophy tour at iconic New York City landmarks
- Gotham FC to ring NASDAQ opening bell
- No team/fan celebration until the kick off of the 2024
#NWSL
season
Trophy will appear at key events through offseason
I never thought I’d see the day when our little club would become a destination for some of the biggest players in the league. Even if nothing comes from “advanced talks” it’s still incredible to even be at this point. Bats Forever, Bats together
I am still covered in glitter, very very sore, very very tired, and have no voice
BUT I am so proud of this club
@GothamFC
, our community
@Cloud9GOTH
, and a little proud of me too. Last night was so amazing
Our nurse’s aide is also a Gotham fan and I literally ran from the gym into her office and laid on the bed. She thought I was hurt and then I told her about lavelle and Sonnett and we got freak out together
Now that the ship is secured, I can tell a little secret.
When I was packing, grabbed my scarf & found a tiny gold star right between cloud & nine. I don’t own those type of stickers nor do I use them at school. There is no explanation for it. This was written. GO FREAKIN BATS
EXCLUSIVE: Blue cards to be introduced for football sin-bins, with players removed from field for 10 minutes for cynical fouls or dissent

Gotham has had a lot of players come through, legends, super stars, rising stars, but few have been as special as
@alikrieger
Kriegs, you came to a club that was struggling and you helped us reach for the stars it’s been an honor
#ThankYouKriegs
Damn proud of this
@SkyBlueFC
team. After everything that’s happened, earning a spot in the semi final and fighting through the whole game, this team is going places man and I can’t wait for next season
@Cloud9SBFC
As a ny sports fan I’ve watched teams I love in the postseason before. But this feeling is so different, maybe it comes from being a supporter maybe it’s some sort of trauma bond, I just want Gotham to win and I’m so anxious
Friends, I’ve been trying to just tweet through it, but I am so sad. Last Saturday, after the final whistle was one of the best moments of my whole life, I wept tears of joy and shock and relief. I thought this club was finally turning a corner.
Took me 2hrs to get to rba, sobbed thru the approach to the gwb, but celebrating
@GothamFC
and singing and dancing with my
@Cloud9GOTH
family feeds my soul in a way I can’t describe and I will make that drive everyday and twice on Sunday to do it all again
Meg has been with us on this ride for a long time and it’s no surprise that she was able to perfectly encapsulate the failure of this moment, thank you
This should have been the greatest week ever for Gotham, bringing in new fans and appreciating the day ones. Instead: no parade, no rally, not even a little party?
It’s a massive missed opportunity, especially in this new era of the NWSL. A column ⬇️
The generosity of the American soccer community will never cease to amaze me. We really are one big family, and I’m so grateful for all of you, and because of you I’m so close to being able to book my ticket. Thank you will never be enough
@CarliLloyd
My neighbor is a PA in one of our local hospitals and thinks that what people thought was just a nasty new strain of the flu this winter was actually corona
I don’t have the emotional bandwidth for today, but this has to be said:
We do not deserve Mana Shim, Kaiya McCullough, and Sinead Farrelly
Thank you for finding the strength and courage to speak up and fight.

Honestly, best day of my life, the whole experience of going to North Carolina for the quarters, having the sg community rally to help me get to San Diego, and then witnessing this game in person, it’s a fairy tale
Tonight was one of the best
@GothamFC
games I’ve been to. Such a complete team game, awesome section with
@Cloud9GOTH
Like this is the team Gotham has been working towards being for the last 2 year and I’m so excited for the next few weeks!
I could write pages about
@Imdorsey96
and her impact on Sky blue,
@Cloud9GOTH
and the league itself.
We were so lucky to have you and cheer for you and fight alongside you.
Wish you could suit up for Gotham one more time, but you will always be our champion! Good luck🦇💙🖤
necessary read. seen a lot of this behavior increasing in the nwsl too. At the end of the day, players are human beings and deserve to be treated as such. And no matter how much or little they share on socials, we don’t know them and are not entitled to any info or attention
Not only have they been doing digital check-ins the past few months, but I just got this in the mail today. I love getting mail and i

@SkyBlueFC
When Under Pressure was showing the moment Mal got injured, it also showed Sinead in her Ireland debut, so yeah I screamed “Sinead!” in a quiet theater
This year I’m most grateful for the supporters community. I don’t think there is anything quite like it anywhere else. Regardless of what team you support, we all support each other and help push for equality and safety in the sport we love.
@allibecc
They’re probably the same people who thinks it awesome when they see hockey players drink out of the Stanley cup, good grief let them have some fun
This year is the 50th anniversary of Title IX and
@espn
is out here just not inviting an entire category of badass women to accept their award in person?? Shenanigans
In what world would
@espn
nominate Cappy for best NWSL player and then tell us that category is not invited to the ESPYS???????? The constant disrespect for womens sports SMH
In all the years I’ve been going to games, last night was the first time I got hit by a ball during shooting drills and I don’t even know who to blame! Haha all jokes a side though I’m glad I made the drive down to Chester to bring some noise with my
@Cloud9GOTH
friends
After an epic pride night
@GothamFC
win and the best damn
@Cloud9GOTH
section yet, I’m gonna need ALL the bagels and Gatorade to get through work today
I had an idea for an NWSL drinking game:
Get a new pack of parkside cards, drink every time you pull a player that’s not w/ team on their card, chug when you get a player that left the league, finish your drink for anyone that went out with an acl or Sam Mewis
@Cloud9GOTH
A lot of good thing happened tonight. Gotham soccer came back home, I got to see my friends
@Cloud9GOTH
, the section was awesome, Kelley O’Hara is back in Jersey, Sinead Farrelly is back on the pitch. All good things, now let’s win the next one
The flight attendant just asked me if I wanted a drink and when I said no thank you, no sound came out of my mouth. My voice is actually gone and I’m so happy about it.

Losing sucks, losing in the off season sucks more. But
@GothamFC
just had the best damn season in a long ass time and I am so proud to support this club and these players, w/ the upcoming expansion drafts, things are going to change, but I will never forget the Gotham class of 21
When Allie came to Sky Blue, it signaled a shift in perception and culture for the club while they were working to right some wrongs and make things better. The club would not be where it is today w/o Allie Long. Thank you so much, a hometown hero and club legend!
@BrettSVergara
I know your joking, but I’m pretty sure it’s because Uluru is sacred and that would be very offensive to the indigenous/aboriginal people
I am very very very wet and cold. But that was a GAME! We didn’t score the most goals but we won. This was the game we needed. Thank you for fighting thank you for not giving up. We love you and we’re not going anywhere but we needed that tonight so thanks
@Cloud9SBFC
@SkyBlueFC
I know it’s about the team and not individual players, but you really don’t get much better than
@Kailen_Sheridan
through the ups and the downs she was the heart and soul of sky blue/Gotham She always believed that things could be better and gave us a reason to hope and push
When I came home from college and found myself without a community, I joined
@Cloud9GOTH
and found what I was missing AND i get to watch world class soccer with some cool people while jumping around like a fool, it’s awesome
