idk man maybe it’s because i’m a longtime fan so i lived through the tom sermanni era (and the 2016 olympic and post oly era) but like,,,,,, this doesn’t feel like the end of the world for the USWNT? their performance this tournament was very much throttled by poor coaching decisions rather than lack of skill and i think 9 times out of 10, this group is put together with far more cohesion and cooperation and performs much better
it’s less a situation where the rest of the world is catching up and moreso a result of roughly 2-3 years of lackluster leadership and no effort to solve problems that have been brewing for just as long. just SIMPLE shit like not having alex take a PK, forcing demelo to play as much as she did despite her going into the cup with exactly zero caps, sitting cook, not making subs, etc etc etc etc.
i’m not gonna act like the players didn’t lack spark here because that was evident, but i just don’t think this is an i fixable problem and i think their performance against sweden is proof of that
final thought: god bless alyssa naeher, NONE of you appreciate her nearly enough

This year's BAFTA Fellowship award goes to... • Eurogamer.net
Tim Schafer will receive this year's prestigious BAFTA Fellowship prize, following in the footsteps of John Carmack, Gabe Newell and Shigeru Miyamoto. The Monkey Island writer/programmer and Double Fine founder will pick up his gong at 2018's British Academy Games Awards, held this year on Thursday, 12th April. "I am surprised, humbled, and honored to be receiving the BAFTA Fellowship this year," Schafer said. "BAFTA's long-standing support of video games and championing of creativity and strong storytelling in that medium have had an extremely positive impact and I'm very grateful to be recognised." Schafer is also known for creating Psychonauts, Brtal Legend, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and leading the studio behind Broken Age, Costume Quest, as well as the upcoming Psychonauts 2. BAFTA has bestowed a Fellowship award for contributions to video games just eight times in the last decade. The first prize went to Maxis co-founder Will Wright, with subsequent awards going to Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, former Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux, Valve chief Gabe Newell, Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar Games, Frontier brain David Braben and id Software co-founder John Carmack. Schafer will also be dropping by EGX Rezzed - the PC and indie games show run by Eurogamer parent company Gamer Network - and being interviewed live on stage at the event by our editor Oli Welsh. You'll be able to meet and greet Schafer (and us, if you really want) there too.
