A storm made the pitch a bit soggy, so the @reignfc.com had to slow up

It was a rain Reign rein.

Ooh should split it three ways with a players' pick, too.

I came to see the Washington Spirit and was very surprised it did not involve our first president wielding a harpoon

Knock knock

Who's there?

Dash

Dash whoo?

Bless you. Need a Kleenex?

I need NWSL dad jokes. One for each team would be nice.

I'll start, but please add your own...

😳

NWSL needs like a swear jar gofundme that we fans have to donate to every time we curse out the refs. And at the end of the season, the refs and fans each pick a best ref, and the winners of each poll split the pot.

In the moment I am angry at the ref, but later, I am grateful they are there.

The people at @summitup.bsky.social seem like good people.

One of the reason I prefer WoSo is the community fits me better. And it's the SGs that help set that tone.

Welcome to the NWSL. We're glad you're here.

Let's have some fun together.

(And maybe trash talk a wee bit from time to time.😉)

Centerback leading the xG

Woop!

The series against Japan was fun.

But I think having two games start so late Eastern time wasn't fun.

Bravery is fun.

Even when it doesn't work, it works even more.

Fun game.

Japan is quality. I expect big things from them this cycle.

Also @equalizersoccer.bsky.social.

FIFA country abbreviations are here:

It's JPN.

@summitup.bsky.social

The abbreviation for Japan is JPN.

The other 3-letter thing has some unfortunate history.

On the plus side, you didn't miss any Hal goals

We have seen quite a few really nice quick shots close in.

None of scored, but all have been cool

I think the Spirits might have a player or two taller than Wesley and Girma.

So, maybe that's not why we take so.many short corners???

Two goals for USWNT off traditional corners.

Short corners? Not this team.

Avery was cooking on that run.

Moving fast while also getting in some fancy footwork

Avery 😁

Nice one Trin

Of course.

Rose finally makes a breakaway work.

Nice

This camera work really gives you a sense of being in the stadium

And sitting really far from the action.

If only someone had invented a technology to zoom in on the action just a wee bit

Centerback goals are just…

Sophia Wilson is a terror.

Gird your loins NWSL defenders.

Davidson's new do keeps making me think of that one French player

Surprisingly few players with that look.

See, I thought you were going with the keeper's name.

--My inner 13 year old

Japan keeper playing very well
