Deborah Abiodun finds Rosemonde Kouassi under pressure or her third goal of the season!

This actually tracks because Spike Lee is just Tyler Perry if he got into NYU

We love the Morgan State Magnificent Marching Machine 🙌🙌

That first half sure showed how much this Spirit team has evolved this season. When the Spirit + the Dash played in the March 14 opener:

• Goal scorers were Ashley Hatch (now out) and Makenna Morris (since traded)
• Coach was Jonatan Giráldez (now at Lyon)
• Gift Monday wasn't even on the roster!

WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE LIKE A BIG PIZZA PIE THATS CANTOREEEEEE!!!!

So anyway Sofia Cantore just buried a ridiculous heel flick that people are gasping at even after 3 replays

Morgan said in the mixed zone that Cantore has some kind of DJ set-up that is on its way from Italy for herself, & that this trio decided if one of them scored, this had to be the celebration.

Asst. coach Mike Bristol was not part of their plans, Morgan laughed at a description of this photo

Asked Gift Monday if scoring a hat trick meant she could run out of celebrations, and she has the absolute ideal striker answer:

"I could never run out of celebrations."

It Happened: The Washington Spirit scored a goal off a short corner. What a time to be alive.

After a blitzing start to her time in the NWSL, Gift Monday went the past five games without a start in league play. She was ready for her shot when it came today.

“That hat trick had been waiting for me for a very long time.”

Democracy, more than anything is a practice. I always think that the Civil Rights Movement succeeded because from the Civil War black Americans built institutions: universities, fraternities and sororities, churches, that engaged them in democratic practice.

(also Natasha Cloud won that game)

“Little spoon” this and “big spoon” that but you’re single so you’re just a knife

BRO FREE HAL

This game is so tense it doesn’t need nitpicky foul calls. Let the players decide the game.

I didn’t know protecting the ball was considered a foul now. Good to know.

THATS SUCH A BULLSHIT CALL AGAINST CROIX

Hiding that you're a Tottenham supporter.

I genuinely believe one of the easiest ways to disrupt capitalist propaganda currently is to alert people to how little they own, which is allegedly Capitalism’s sole promise. Your car, fridge, phone, game system & fucking toothbrush require lifetime subscriptions & you think this is freedom? 🤨

Etsy Witches right now

Best player on the pitch in the first half imo

Deb Abiodun's rapid rise from rookie on loan to starting in a game against a team currently in a playoff position is remarkable, but also justified IMO.

Spirit have had to use a lot of 6s or 10s as 8s this season. Abiodun's a natural 8, and that's really helping in all phases.

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,

I talked to Croix Bethune's college coach last year and one of the fun things he told me was that when you watch her play soccer, you can also kind of tell she used to be a basketball point guard.

This is a great example of that. That ability to create space, vision, passing precision is so good.
