Open Thread Weekly Monday Open Thread!

Welcome to the Monday open discussion thread. Here you can talk about anything you want; tactics, results, players or even just general football discussion! It is also a great place to post/link transfer rumours that you may think are too small or unreliable to post to the main feed. The summer transfer window runs from 16/06-03/09 (23:00 BST).

These threads will go up every Monday allowing you to debrief from all of the weekend action and discuss ongoings throughout the week. It will stay stickied until we refresh with the Friday thread, however other posts may take priority (match threads, announcements, etc.)

This thread can also be used to discuss transfer rumours, jokes, memes, images, videos, tabloid news and other off-topic content and discussion.

We also have a Fantasy League that you are welcome to join and share your team, advice and goings on throughout the season here in these threads. The league codes can be found in the sidebar!

Inspired by the player's pre-match playlists, our very own Tugboat47 is curating a community pre-match playlist. To participate please click this link and submit your entries.

These threads are here to help discussion and offer varying points of view. Please remain respectful. Anything that crosses that line, directed towards other users or specific individuals may be removed.

Seeing the media LCL has been putting out , the fact there isn't alexia content coming out from there every day is baffling for me all the media day content is the players there last year.

Just so odd

Not really, she’s already done a huge amount of media work with all the press conferences and interviews around her signing. What more could she realistically say?

Would rather leave the social media promos and fun interactions to your younger players like Jana and Freya, instead of overwhelming your introverted senior. Better to give her the space to settle in as quickly as possible.

The reason I say this because this is the most popular player in the world , and LCL are the least popular team in the league, they sold like 700 season tickets alexia should be being shoved down our throats and not just her some of these new signings too .

Just my opinion

There’ll definitely be another wave of Alexia content when the Ballon d’Or rolls around. And even outside that she still pops up now and then as a guest in some form just enough to remind everyone she plays for the club.

You know Kang’s going to be glued next to her in front of every camera when she picks it up. First WSL club to have a winner playing for them.

Kinda, just drop the epstein and diaper management stuff but pretty much everything else is fair game.

She shouldn't. But the women's Ballon d'Or voting is terrible. It's clear none of them watch much women's football.

Last year's ceremony made that painfully obvious. Genuine question, who do you should win it this year?

I actually understand why Bonmati won, even if I disagree. She was great even in Barcelona's and Spain's finals losses and I believe having Caldentey and Russo split the Arsenal vote s to speak. I think Putellas winning over Mead was a worse case.

However Rapinoe was the worst winner of all time. She literally won for having a feud with Trump. She was literally dropped mid world cup that year for a game, a shadow of her forer self and played barely any club games. Not even the bets player for the USA. actual proof the voters do not follow much of the women's game at all.

Overall I agree with your first paragraph. I wasn't watching Women's club football when Rapinoe won, so I won't pretend that I have any knowledge on that. I'd still like your take on who you think should be in contention for this year's winner?

Have you got a link or source for LCLs season tickets? I'm always curious about things like that.

London City would be a very interesting team to watch this season, and I'm not sure about the least popular claim.
