She was asked about how involved in the planning process she was.
"Literally none of it."
"I just found out about it and I was like, 'yay!'" #KCBaby #KCvPOR
Rocky on the culture in the locker room: "The closeness that the players have... I don't think it happens just because."
"That's what makes us strong." #KCBaby #KCvPOR
Cooper on the Ellie Wheeler proposal post-game: "If you go find the video, I'm bawling my eyes out."
She was laughing how it's not her proposal she's not sure why she was crying. She wanted to go up to Ellie and ask why she's not crying. #KCBaby #KCvPOR
#KCvPOR Rob Gale on Sam Hiatt's status
Q: @wilder01isom.bsky.social
"Sam had an knee injury at the end of last year, a long return to play. We haven't got her up to 90 minutes yet in the preseason, as we just had to build that back. [She's] close to being able to go 60 minutes or more."
Cooper on Temwa scoring 3 minutes in: "Shocker"
"Temwa is a forced to be reckoned with." #KCBaby #KCvPOR
Michelle Cooper waving at someone in the Premium area.
Rocky: "Do you know her."
Cooper: "It's my mom." (laughs uncontrollably)

#KCvPOR Rob Gale on the focus ahead of ACFC next week
"We've got to be braver... We can be way more aggressive, as we were second half ... Those are the things to take in lessons learned for the youngsters, and now it'll be a very different game when we're at home and buoyed by our crowd"
Vlatko on the Ellie Wheeler proposal: "Lo came to me and said, do you know what is happening now?"
Vlatko said he wasn't sure what was going on but, "I'm so happy for them." #KCBaby #KCvPOR
#KCvPOR Rob Gale on the match
"Naivety at the start cost us... The disappointing thing really is the manner in which we conceded. We haven't made them earn it. We've got caught in possession, little bit of naivety, and got punished by some quality players."
#KCvPOR Olivia Moultrie on the match
"Coming into this place, they're going to have a lot of momentum with their crowd. It's pretty loud in here, and so I just think, we let them capitalize on that a little bit too much...I do feel like we did some positive things. There's a lot to build off of."

11,500 KC Current attendance. Another sell out. They've sold out every league and playoff game in the history of CPKC Stadium. #KCBaby #KCvPOR
It is not a deliberate handball. That's all there is to determine. Should not be a pen.
Humans have arms, a ball is going to hit parts of the arm on occasion. Defending with your arms behind your back is stupid. Bad rule makes for bad decision.
Bin VAR, it's rubbish!
#NWSL #VAR #KCvPOR
oh no, Olivia Moultrie! I'm so bummed for you, but ... well. I know it's a Sincy legacy thing. You'll get 'em next time. :) #KCvPOR
Upon replay, it hits her in the armpit. There is no way, it doesn't hit an arm.
That said, Nichols is being called over to check for a PK. #KCBaby #KCvPOR
It sure looked like Sharples just handled the ball in the box... They are definitely gonna take a look at it. #KCBaby #KCvPOR
I remember NC Courage coach Sean Nahas saying something to the effect of 'you haven't even seen the best Debinha yet.'
She seems to have showed up in 2025. The touches. The passes. She looks fantastic. #KCBaby #KCvPOR
Rocky Rodriguez and Nichelle Prince about to sub in.
Rodriguez would be making her KC Current debut. #KCBaby #KCvPOR
As that goal should amply demonstrate, THIS IS NOT WHERE YOU WANT OLIVIA MOULTRIE
