I'm still living in the past when it comes to my fave teams winning championships 
Gotham FC finally broke through after all those years of waiting 
their win is like a dream come true for us old timers who've been following them since day one 
we're so hyped to see what they do next, but at the same time I'm also feeling sad that it's come down to this - a single game 
Washington Spirit put up quite a fight tho 
and whoever scored that winning goal is like a hero to me 
. And what's up with all these big changes in women's football? Like, Tanya Oxtoby just bailed on Northern Ireland and now she's off to Newcastle 
. It's like the NWSL season was just a warm-up for this crazy soap opera 
. Can't wait for more drama, I guess! 
They've been on fire all season and it's amazing to see them bring home that championship! The unknown player who scored the winner is low-key a superstar and I need more info about them ASAP! 
Can't wait to see how they'll build on this success in the coming seasons, Gotham FC is definitely going to be a team to watch out for 
. The unknown player's strike was pure magic 
! And now they're walking all over NYC like the kings and queens they are 
. That key to the city is so deserved 
. Can't wait to see what Gotham FC does next season!
. A team winning a league title isn't exactly rocket science. I mean, come on, any decent player with some skill can do that! Where was this "unknown" player during the whole season? And now suddenly they're a hero just because of one goal in the final? Give me a break 
. It's all about marketing and hype at the end of the day. I'm not saying Gotham FC doesn't deserve their win, but let's keep things in perspective here 
.
. It's just a symbolic gesture to make them feel special. What actually matters is how they do on the pitch, not how well-connected their PR people are 
. Are we just going to keep throwing more and more money at these teams until we get the "right" players? It's all so predictable and contrived 
. Can't we just let them develop organically for once?
Women's soccer is taking over NYC and it's time we give some love to these talented teams & players 
Losing top talent can be tough, but I hope her new team at Newcastle United will help take the sport to new heights 
Can't wait for the next league season and see what Gotham FC does next! 
it's such a dream come true for all their fans & the city is literally buzzing with excitement 
can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented squad 
️! I hope they keep inspiring future generations of female players and coaches... it's gonna be a wild ride watching them build on this success 
!
Their dedication to women's soccer is truly inspiring, especially in a city like New York where sports culture is already huge. I'm not surprised the fans went wild in the streets - their passion is infectious! Now let's see how they handle all the hype in the coming seasons... they've got big shoes to fill but I've got faith in them 
hopefully dey'll keep bringing dat magic 2 nyc & de world 
. Now that Tanya Oxtoby is leaving Northern Ireland women's football, it's gonna be tough for them to find someone to replace her... she was like a superstar coach 
. But Gotham FC is definitely setting a new bar for women's soccer, and I am SO here for it 
!
let's get the tea on these talented ladies 
What a legend! 
The fact that they played so well without getting any recognition until now just shows how talented and humble they are. I hope we see more of them on the big stage soon 
I'm beyond hyped for Gotham FC!!! Their win is literally the best thing that's happened to NYC all year 
️ And that player who scored the goal... what a legend! 
. But Gotham FC for life! 
.
! I mean, who doesn't love a good underdog story? And I have to say, seeing fans rejoice in the streets of NYC was pure magic 
. I've been following this team all season, and it's been an absolute joy watching them grow into the champions we know they can be 
. Now that they've got their foot in the door, I'm hyped to see what the future holds for them! Maybe we'll even get to see them bring home some international titles soon
