Описание: Timestamps
0:00 - 0:10 A bit of a delay in this video getting out, but still topics that we want to talk about!
1:10 WSL Season starts this weekend! (Delayed video, lol.) Alyssa Thompson officially signed to Chelsea, and Lia Wälti is leaving Arsenal. One coming into the WSL, one leaving the WSL.
1:32 Alyssa Thompson is flying the nest! Leaving to go to Chelsea! Leaving her hometown!
2:13 People are sad, but a lot of people are excited for Alyssa!
2:31 We read about her deal! Signed for 5 years! (Sarah was shocked, lol.) $1.5 million transfer fee!
3:20 5 years! Wow! I wonder if she will stay for the whole 5 years, lol. She will only be 25!
3:55 $1.5 million transfer fee. Not sure how much she will make as her salary? $3 million? $12 million? A lot more than if she were to stay in the NWSL.
4:31 Sam and Lynn were talking about how sometimes you just have to go when you get an offer; you never know if you will be asked again. (I said Lynn, I meant Sam in the video.)
5:17 Pinoe and Kelley O'Hara were talking about WHAT IS ACFC DOING?! Not even trying to win?
5:20 $1.5 million fee should have been higher? Alyssa just really wanted to leave, I guess.
6:03 Why are NWSL and USWNT stars leaving to go overseas?! Christen and Tobin talked about it!
6:25 They said the salary cap is a BIG PROBLEM! Watch the reinc show from Sept 4!
6:50 NWSL salary cap is $3 million for the whole team! WSL has the "fair play" rule, so they have much more money to spend!
7:20 Why wouldn't these young players want to go make way more money? When Christen and Tobin were younger, the USWNT said that if you go overseas, you jeopardize your spot on the USWNT, which was scary as well.
8:18 One of the brand new coaches in the NWSL makes 3x the amount of the top player.
8:42 WSL wants Sam Coffey, Trinity Rodman.
8:55 NWSL would say they like the parity and the teams being more on an equal playing field, so there is the argument against it.
9:35 Excited for Alyssa! Such a big move! Pic of her at the airport looking sad? LOL, no, she was just traveling, and that is always stressful, lol.
10:07 Lia Wälti is leaving Arsenal! Signing with Juventus! Sad but happy. She was with Arsenal for so long! So many Wally fans!
10:45 We read about the big move!
11:18 2-year deal with Juventus! But after 7 years, Lia is leaving! She gets to play in the Champions League, which is nice!
11:30 She released a video about what Arsenal meant to her! Last game (on the team) was a Champions League win!
12:05 She wasn't playing much last year due to injury, and also bringing on Mariona changed Lia's role?
12:48 They've been through so much! Such a change in women's football!
13:04 Being so strong through the whole Katie and Caitlin situation. She just did her job very professionally!
13:34 Comments... Lia and Mariona still together? Broken up? Now they can be more open?
14:50 People are heartbroken about Lia leaving! Once a Gunner, always a Gunner! They had a send-off for Wally at Saturday's match.
15:15 People are sad but happy for her going to Juve!
15:30 183 appearances! 2018!
15:45 Leah Williamson is sad; they are best friends!
16:20 Going back to Alyssa. She was an excused absence from Monday's game for ACFC. So people realized the writing was on the wall.
16:48 Let her leave for too little money? Happy for her, sad for ACFC.
17:10 NWSL being a feeder league?
17:40 The NWSL owners say, "We CAN'T pay you," not that we don't want to, lol.
18:00 But even some fans don't want a salary cap.
18:19 Should the salary cap be changed? Not removed?
18:29 They need to market the TEAM, not just a player?
19:00 Check out the recap show; it was a great episode! So informative!
19:40 What do you think about Wälti leaving?
