First no kings first. Last weekend was a whiplash of bright and dark spots in American life. Welcome to life under the current order. One of the hopeful moments was seeing the Angel City team kitted out in "Immigrant City" tshirts. See above. The team also put 10,000 shirts on seats for their home match against the Courage.
Now you can buy one of the same shirts, with net proceeds going to Camino Immigration Services.
If you're so inclinded, and like me love a good tshirt, you can also purchase a "Trans People Belong" one put together by a collections of NWSL supporter groups for the Transgender Law Center. I bought a set of these for my family, and they're honestly the softest, most comfortable shirt I've worn in a long time. And I'm proud to wear it. Bonus.
[Update: Forgot to include a link to a fundraiser from Christen Westphal and Madison Pogarch for Encircle, a LGBTQ+ youth and family resource in Utah.]
Finally, and this one is on-field focused, the Washington Spirit signed Sofia Cantore from Juventus. Presumably she's coming in to start. What does that mean for Ashley Hatch, Gift Monday, and eventually Ouleymata Sarr? The July transfer window is going to be fascinating.
And now, the reason you're all here... a roundup of analyses and rankings from Week 12 of the 2025 NWSL season to inform your fantasy picks going forward. Featuring standout performances, tactical breakdowns, and more.
