Spirit sign F Sofia Cantore, first Italian in NWSL history
The Washington Spirit signed forward Sofia Cantore on Tuesday, making her the first Italian player in NWSL history. Cantore arrives via transfer from Italy's Juventus FC and is signed to a three-year deal with a 2028 team option. Cantore, 25, is eligible to join the Spirit on July 1 when the FIFA summer transfer window opens. She will occupy an international roster slot. "Sofia is an important signing for this Spirit team as we continue to build up our roster to compete for trophies," head coach Adrian Gonzalez said. "Her extensive experience in the Italian leagues and exceptional talent in the attacking third will help add a new layer for the Spirit moving forward." Cantore made her professional debut with Italy's Fiammamonza in 2015 before moving to Juventus in 2017. She has spent time on loans with Hellas Verona (2019-20), Florentia (2020-21) and Sassuolo (2021-22), racking up 40 goals and 120 assists across 120 appearances. "I'm very proud to join this important club and grateful for their trust in my abilities," Cantore said. "I'm excited to start this new chapter of my career as the first Italian player in the NWSL and can't wait to work every day with coach Adrian Gonzalez and my new teammates. And of course, I'm thrilled to challenge myself in this great league!" Internationally, Cantore has contributed five goals in 37 matches with the Italian national team since making her senior debut in 2020. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Jim Cantore Warns 'Different' Storm Is Approaching U.S.
Jim Cantore Warns 'Different' Storm Is Approaching U.S. originally appeared on The Spun. Iconic U.S. weatherman Jim Cantore is warning that a "different" storm is approaching the United States. The legendary Weather Channel star is monitoring a tropical storm that is expected to make landfall. The National Hurricane Center shared details on the storm on Monday morning. Tropical Storm Dalilia is the fifth named storm of the season. However, Cantore believes that it will be different than the previous four. The National Hurricane Center issued an official alert on Monday morning, June 16: 6/16/2025: #Dalilia has dissipated, but another area in the eastern #Pacific is likely to become a #TropicalDepression within 48 hours. Hazardous winds and seas are possible, regardless of tropical development, offshore El Salvador, Guatemala, and southern Mexico with this low. Cantore, meanwhile, believes that it will make landfall. Cantore, who has more than 1.3 million followers on X, suggested that the storm will make landfall. "Some of the hi rez models really develop this before landfall. Our 5th named storm will be much different than the previous 4. This one is very likely coming ashore," he wrote. Heavy rainfall is expected, which could cause flash flooding in some areas on the West Coast. From the National Weather Service: Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible across portions of the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, and Michoacán today, with localized storm totals up to 9 inches near the coast. Any instances of flash flooding and mudslides should decrease today. Our thoughts are with everyone in the storm's path.
