High of the Week
The Boston Legacy is getting closer and closer to its inaugural season in 2026, and this week, it revealed its club crest. It’s a great crest with a swan as the main component. One really cool nod to the Boston Breakers is the eight feathers on the swan that represent the eight original NWSL clubs which included the Breakers. The club’s main color is green so the crest really pops and overall it looks really sleek.

Low of the Week
England legend Fran Kirby announced her immediate retirement from international football. The announcement came just days before England’s Euros roster was released and Kirby was informed she wouldn’t be selected. Kirby stated that the plan was to retire after Euros but since she wouldn’t be a part of that team now was the right time to step away.
She’ll go down as one of the best players to represent England. She played an important role in England’s 2022 UEFA Euros win as well as their third-place finish at the 2015 Women’s World…
