Given our very limited options for the backline in light of several centre-back injuries and the fact this squad is coming from a hard-fought final win against Manchester United in the Women’s League Cup only three days ago, you couldn’t ask for a better start for Chelsea Women.

In their continued effort to figure out a tournament format that Will Bolt and the Huskers can’t win, the Big Ten Conference has announced its 3rd format in as many years.

The White Sox are apparently thinking bigger than The 78, and that is saying something. Justin Ishbia, billionaire and hopefully sooner-than-later Sox overlord, is reportedly snapping up the 47-acre Amtrak Coach Yard at 14th Street, tucked by the Loop’s southwest edge, as reported today by Crain’s Chicago Business. If this goes through, forget Bridgeport because […]
