What's extra fun is when you realize that this has only really become a problem since Utah got rid of safety inspections.

I saw 4 handballs not get called on Portland today. I think Portland earned this win, but I also think San Diego has reason to be furious

Coaching to win a championship is different than coaching to win the most matches or to secure the shield the earliest, or, hell, to secure the shield at all. If everyone else is coaching for the first and you're coaching for one of the others, yeah, you might be REALLY successful

Which is rich on its face, but especially when I've heard for two years how Ally Sentnor deserves better and our team got better after she left (to be clear I don't think it's BECAUSE she left)

In other news, I was told by Portland fans that I was unfair for saying Tordin deserved to go somewhere she would be properly utilized.

Even if that would not have been called after VAR, it should have been sent to the field. It undeniably hit her arm, the booth should have sent it to the field for the ref to make the call after seeing it on review. Regardless of what the outcome would have been, the VAR folks fucked up

PAIGE GOT TOSSED FOR THAT LAST YEAR. THAT WAS ON TARGET AND IN THE BOX.

@Vlatko re "it's hard to adapt when ur best players r hurt"

The Spirit played with an injury roster almost as long as their active roster AND w/o their superstars for a good portion of the year... they finished 2nd AND won their quarterfinal. I'm thinkin the call is coming from inside the house.

Also, that was an Emily Sonnett masterclass today, my goodness

The continued utter inability for that man to take even the slightest bit of accountability

Swanson, Ertz, Mewis, Heath, Chawinga, Zaneratto, Lavelle, probably forgetting a few. There are too many receipts for me at this point. I know he's a nice man, but he plays too loose with injuries, especially in tournament play.

Once again Vlatko Andonovsky shows that he can't adapt

FUCK YOU KANSAS CITYYYYYYY

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul"

Gonna have to disagree with Ms Dickinson there, but she may not have been a soccer fan

She kneed Reale in the face and then tried to bitch about the card. Honestly has long been one my least favorite players

AKB fell asleep

Fans that boo injured players are the worst.

Izzy was being an asshole by continuing to run after Midge dropped, tbh.

If she didn't already have one, there is no way in hell that's not a yellow. I hate that shit

That should be a fucking yellow

Jaedyn just made the maybe DPOY look silly

It's almost like Jess Carter is kinda hobbled or something

Gotham has 2, Portilho & Bruninha

Had to leave and was driving during PKs, is Sofascore right that Emma Sears didn't take one? You don't put your leading scorer in your top 4 PK takers?

So my slightly silly prediction was 4-2 Spirit with all goals scored in the second half. 1 goal each scored in regulation, and 3-1 Spirit on PKs. You tell me if I predicted it or not

(Yes, I know that technically it was a tie with Washington advancing on penalties, no I do not care)

Lololol

She looked offside to me, tbh, but maybe I couldn't see the point of relaease

Yeah, Esme Morgan was totes just chilling guiding the ball out of bounds that she had touched. Uh huh.

If we're going to do something stupid, can we at least be good at it?

Meaning, in this instance, if you're going to play in-game ads, can we not have a sexual predator on them?

Alright, fine. Thank you for finally showing the whole goddamned play
