Not sure it’s being stressed enough that the Spirit lost two important players *during* this game in addition to having the usual absentees out, including the obviously not-really-available Rodman. This team has dealt with so much. #NWSL #WASvLOU #NWSLplayoffs
McKeown out. Was Audi Field built on a haunted graveyard? #NWSL #NWSLplayoffs #WASvLOU
I’m getting the feeling we won’t be seeing Trinity Rodman. Spirit have a sub window in extra time, don’t they?

Reffing in this #WASvLOU game has been excellent. Proactively reigning in chippy fouls at the beginning of each half has kept things much cleaner than average between these teams. Great job refs!

Sears almost a walk off banger goal to win it. So close! Extra time here we come!👍

Looks onside from this view, but I have a small phone, so …
Soccer’s unfair sometimes. In no way, shape or form does Louisville deserve to be level here, and there have been some cynical fouls. But the Spirit have wasted tons of chances, too.

Yes, I stand up for refs a lot, but did they seriously not take a longer look at that goal? On first glance, looked off. #NWSL #WASvLOU
Correct advantage call, but you’ve got to come back and give a yellow to Ary Borges for that. #NWSL #WASvLOU
No breakthrough after 45.

Ah … yep, that’s a danger on short corners. Smart play by Louisville to pull up so quickly. #NWSL #WASvLOU
Vid of offside from a friend at the game. Pretty quickly leads to goal so probably right call. #NWSL #WASvLOU
If you think complaints about refs are limited to the #NWSL, please check out @suzywrack.bsky.social’s story on Arsenal-Chelsea today. (I can’t get to the Guardian site ATM.) Or see any EPL broadcast.
I think refs are too prone to calling offside on VAR when it’s not clear and obvious. #WASvLOU
It was the pass to Kouassi that was offside. The TV coverage keeps showing the incorrect replay thinking there was an offside on the shot.
#WASvLOU #NWSL
That's the harshest offside call I've ever seen. Santos didn't have any impact at all.
#WASvLOU #NWSL
Every league says the same thing, but I’m curious about this one — did I hear the commentators say it was earlier than we saw on the replay, right when the corner was taken? That’s a danger of short corners. #WASvLOU #NWSL
Kiuassi!!!! And, like, a ridiculous curving bounce? I think the turf robbed Monday of a tap in. #NWSL #WASvLOU
Racing giving too much space to washington. Washington passing freely. Close that space and be physical racing and you can get in this game #NWSL #WASvLOU
Racing go straight at Washington don't let them pass openly. Just go straight at them one on one when they have the ball. #WASvLOU #NWSL #RacingLou
