You know someone's a real LoTR nerd when they refer to Smeagol instead of Gollum. Stephen Colbert interview of PTJ when???
Emma Hayes was asked in a quickfire game to name the three best players in the world right now, and named Aitana Bonmati, Lauren James and Trinity Rodman:

Do I take this super seriously, and assume Hayes thinks Trinity is definitely the best player on the #USWNT? Absolutely not. Naomi Girma exists, after all. But this makes clear (if it wasn't before) that Trinity is a lock for any roster under Emma as long as she's healthy.
This is a good clip reel, although some of the clips are real potato quality - for most of Tobin's career women's sports just didn't get the kind of production quality they deserved.
Christen reads Tobin a letter from Abby Wambach:
"I tried really hard to get into your headspace...to maybe try and connect in a deeper dimension of existence. Because honestly I think that's where you went when you played... I don't know. But where you went, I wanted to go."
This, from the all time leading American goal-scorer, and second highest goal scorer in world history (male or female) - one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
Okay so in looking for clips I found this little short of Croix Bethune, Jaedyn Shaw and Trinity Rodman talking about how they looked up to Tobin Heath. Three of the most creative, technical players of the next generation being inspired by the the OG -- if there's ever going to be a more technically gifted player than Tobin in the USA it might be one of those three.

Tobin Heath hasn't played in years but her retirement still hurts. Even before I followed women's soccer, the #uswnt and the #nwsl I knew who she was. My first soccer shirt was a Tobin Heath shirt. One of the most technically gifted players to ever play the game. Glad we still get her analysis and commentary through the re-cap show.
When I get home I'm going to dig up some Tobin Heath highlight reels - prepare yourselves!

six sets of #nwsl teammates facing each other in yesterday's #USWNT & Canada match, according to my count:
Spirit: Tara/Croix and Gabby
Thorns: Coffey/Moultrie and Fleming/Alidou
Reign: Meza/Biyendolo/Bugg/Dickey and Huitema
Racing: Sears and Sonis
Pride: Sams and Chavoshi
Current: Cooper/Hutton/Rodriguez and Prince
That's a lot of jersey swaps!
they are so adorable I love them
Having a pretty great night, not gonna lie
It's almost time for the #USWNT game! They're taking on the Republic of Ireland at 9pm ET.
Usually I'd be disappointed not to see any Spirits in the lineup but with their last game late Sunday night I'm glad they're getting rest.
Two first caps tonight: starting GK Claudia Dickey and LB Lilly Reale
lmao bless this colorado fan
