At this point I assume the entire Man U squad is trying to get ETH fired and ETH is trying to get the entire squad sold to :spins wheel: Girona.

Emma Hayes says ‘title race is done’ after Chelsea lose thriller at Liverpool
Liverpool’s Gemma Bonner scored a stoppage-time winner to seal a dramatic 4-3 win that leaves Chelsea six points off WSL leaders Manchester City

She's the right choice and I'm stoked as fuck for her to arrive, but that long of a swan song at Chelsea before USWNT felt too much.
Matt Beard (Liverpool Women manager) got a red card in the first half of their game against Man Utd. I can't remember the last time a manager got a straight red.

Edumacate me, please. I saw a YouTube short about a smart play by a goalie, as follows:
Team A has a free kick. The ball hooks toward the goal and goes in, without the goalie even trying to block it, and the goal was nullified. The ref comes up to the goalie, congratulating him for knowing a "hidden rule".
Why would the goal be nullified?

At a guess, it was probably an indirect free kick, which requires the ball to touch another player before a goal can count.
Bring back indirect free kicks for fouls in the box, we used to be a proper country.
Finally, a win at Old Trafford. Doesn't matter what happens next Sunday. Highest number of league wins since the Invincibles. More points than last season. Progress. 
Not even the FA Player? The women's games are usually there if they're not available through a broadcaster.
sigh Vivianne Miedema is an Arsenal legend, and I'm going to miss her

Vivianne Miedema: Arsenal legend
I have been watching Arsenal Ladies / Women since 1996. I have seen Marieanne Spacey, Kelly Smith, Kim Little, Jayne Ludlow, Julie Fleeting, Lianna Sanderson and Rachel Yankey in their respective primes. I haven’t seen a better player in an Arsenal shirt than Vivianne Miedema. When she signed in...

Well that too, but the streaming license for the FA Cup in the US is with ESPN. I watched it when Leicester City went a few years back. Here is the landing page for the final. The Women’s FA Cup also streams on Hulu for some reason.
ESPN+ matches show up on Hulu landing page often enough, not sure if that's only because I sub Hulu+Live TV, Disney+, ESPN+.
I agree with Ange that the team should try to win every game but I can understand local fan's perspective as well. Whether or not Arsenal win the PL doesn't really affect spurs or me in any way...but I think not having to deal with any Arsenal fans IRL makes that perspective easier. Plus, as an Auburn fan, I learned long ago how to not let my rival's performance - good or bad - impact me and I feel sorry for people that do act like that.
I won't be watching the game, as I expect City will just use it as an opportunity to pad their goal difference.
(edit) and they did. Ah well.

Bayer Leverkusen win their first Bundesliga title, and do it unbeaten - a first for the Bundesliga. Happy for Granit Xhaka
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich lose on the last day, and can only come third

A funny thing about this locally; the soccer/football radio show here gave their Bundesliga correspondent grief for years that Bayern Munich was the only team to win it. That the Bundesliga was on par with Ligue 1 and PSG, in that it was then one super team and then everyone else. He would still defend the Bundesliga and bring up teams like Union Berlin and even predicted Bayern Munich would quiet possibly fall this season prior to the start of play. Unfortunately, he was unavailable most of this season as he stepped down early on to get married and wasn’t available to do yet another “I told you so” speech.Bayer Leverkusen win their first Bundesliga title, and do it unbeaten - a first for the Bundesliga.

I'm gonna book a trip to London for promotion weekend next year and just see what's to be seen, I have family in London so even if I can't just get a walkup ticket I can bully my brother in law into getting lit to the shit on a Sunday afternoon in their local.
Ah well, at least we ended the season with a win and 89 points - enough to have won the league last season
And to put the inevitable hype around City winning their fourth consecutive title into perspective:

I happened to be flying from Berlin to Dublin late morning this past Wednesday and wondered why half the plane was wearing Leverkusen gear. Dublin airport was jammed with Italians and Germans. I have never seen so many police in one place as Temple Bar all afternoon, gearing up for the Europa final. Which didn't go great for Leverkusen, oops.Bayer Leverkusen win their first Bundesliga title, and do it unbeaten - a first for the Bundesliga. Happy for Granit Xhaka
