This was supposed to be Tierna’s homecoming game🫠

If Tierna is out as bad as it seems, what a devastating loss on every level. For her, fighting back from injury time and time again. For Gotham, she’s their captain and leader and honestly, their defensive depth had been the biggest concern going into the season so that’s not good either. For the USWNT…fuck. Not in a tournament way rn with it being 2025, but just in the personal way of what Tierna brings to every camp and game and who she is as a person. The most consistent representation and voice on the team for the queer community, most days the only one who seems to care. She’s still so young and is undeniably one of the best leaders on every team she’s on.

Tiernas mom said that the Irish national team turned Tierna down at age 15.
