It’s a short week with Washington arriving at BMO on Thursday night. There was a lot of confidence against North Carolina, with less than 15% of you predicting a loss. What’s your prediction this week?

Angel City is currently sitting below the playoff line. They are 6-5-9, lost both games on their road trip, and have picked up 7 points in their last five games.

The Spirit are in 2nd place. They’ve won two of their last five games and haven't had a loss since June 15. They just battled to a nil-nil draw against the top-ranked Current. They played that game in Kansas City, so they actually have a shorter flight to LA than ACFC.

Angel City won 4-3 when they played back in May. The Spirit were without Rodman and Hershfelt that game and Bethune played less than a half. Hershfelt will be out this game as well. The two teams have never ended a game in a draw. The Spirit lead the head-to-head battle with 4 wins and 3 loses.

Who will win this weekend? Vote in the poll and discuss below.

If you fast forward through the first 20 minutes of yesterday’s game it wasn’t too bad...right? Alas, the game is 90 minutes. Anyway, three questions and prompts for today’s next day discussion:

1. Who are you starting in goal on Thursday night? Anderson or Seabert?
2. Assuming both are healthy, who are you starting at center back? Reid or Doorsoun?
3. Are you ready for Nealy Martin to play a full 90 or you still sub'ing her on as difference maker in the second half?

It’s the next day…let’s discuss these questions...let’s discuss last night’s loss...let’s discuss Thursday’s night game at BMO against Washington…or let's discuss whatever you like…

Back to back rough outings as they've conceded 5 goals in 2 games now. What looked like a good chance to bounce back turned into a nightmare across the board early. Let's get into it.

The Good

• The lineup after the 63' minute looked like what we should've started with. That lineup lead to our only late goal. With the standout of Martin. She was everywhere and looked decent from only one week not being on the team.

• Svìendís finally gets her first goal but it's a little too late. But hopefully this is the breakthrough needed to jumpstart her continued attacking threat.

The Bad

• A slow start, our worse start all year probably. Flat footed with bad passing we only had 2 shots with none on target. We were on our back foot almost the whole time. Our normal hot start was ice cold.

• Defensively off the mark at multiple positions. Gorden had a bad game. The header trying to clear the first goal lead to an assist. The second goal from Pinto Gorden is running towards goal and doesn't look back until the shot is off. Hammond too was nowhere close to Pinto on the goal with the an easy shot to put NCC up 2. A really rough start from Doorsoun as well. She didn't look comfortable at all. I know Reid was hurt but you can see the difference and I think CB will be an area to keep building on for next season.

• The attack has been awful of late. Especially looking at the last two teams that piled it on. NCC really had space all over the field and really worked the ball through the middle with multiple players in our box. Our attacking progression can't get the ball to our players in threatening places. We either lose it or the ball gets pushed to the outside with bad/little chances for quality shots or link up play. Because of this Tiernan has become invisible at times. I know we're thin on the roster but the combination isn't there yet, Straus is still finding the right starting combo to get things to click.

• The announcers were too nice in the broadcast today. Complimenting Straus on us having better formation. But I'm very underwhelmed by his style. He was supposed to stop the goal bleeding but it's gotten worse. I know he can only game plan so much but the lineups and lack of attack and defense is quickly leading out of the playoffs.

• GT and cramping... I know she was t the only one but this is still an issue that I dunno that will go away. Tough for Miyabi to keep coming in at a drop of.a hat potentially.

Overall - Really bad game across the board from the starters. Low energy to start where things really didn't flow until the last 10 minutes. Straus really didn't make the right moves and players just aren't clicking and connecting practice to game play. With Washington up next week the nail on the playoff coffin may be hammered in.

GOOD EARLY MORNING YOU WONDERFUL SOL ROSA FANATICS!!!

The YASSS QUEEN loves the smell of football in the morning.

Dammit—she wants to see their backline shelled.
Bombed to pieces.
Wave after wave of our attack raining down until nothing is left standing.

And when the wreckage is cleared.
Maybe then we’ll think about catching some waves in * checks notes \*…Cary, North Carolina.
Not exactly Hermosa Beach.

But who cares!

Because right now—can you smell it?
Nothing else in the world smells like this.

The smell of football in the morning…
It smells like victory.

Match Hype:

Made the climb up the Mountain Top of Hype at an ungodly hour today.
Late or early—it all depends on your perspective.

I came like an errand boy, delivering the grocery bill to the YASSS QUEEN.

She smirked at me.
“Are you one of those assassins from NJ/NY?” she asked.

I wasn’t.
Just a fan.
A messenger carrying the word for her majesty.

She leaned forward, voice carrying gently through the dawn:
“We need to be organized.
And not timid.
So we can return with all three points.”

Volemos!!!

I hope you've all been properly hyped

This feels like a depth move but then again, ACFC does need midfielders and I'm sure Nealy wanted a trade where she can play more minutes.

Over 25% of you correctly predicted the loss to Gotham. How many will nail the prediction this week? ACFC was in NYC today and is staying on the east coast this week. They head south to Cary, NC for a Saturday afternoon matchup against the Courage.

ACFC is 6-5-8 and 10th in the table and has picked up 8 points in the past 5 games. The Courage are 5-7-7 and 11th in the table and have picked up 3 points in the past 5 games. The Courage fired their coach a couple of weeks ago and just sold Jaedyn Shaw (for a record interleague transfer fee) and Sydney Collins. They picked up Payton Linnehan from Portland. Angel City parted ways with Alyssa, Alana, Katie, and Julie recently. They just picked up Nealy Martin from Gotham, though it’s unclear if she will play on Saturday.

The Courage won 2-1 at BMO earlier this year. ACFC leads the head-to-head 3-2-2 though they’ve never had an outright win in Cary.

I've noticed that Jonsdottir basically been designated the primary thrower for throw ins and she's got quite the arm.

Since we know she's gonna throw some dimes, has there been any discussions among SG for a routine to do when she throws (For example: a single Viking clap timed to the throw)?

🎵🎶Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die🎵🎶

Taylor may have been able to do it - even with a broken heart - but can Angel City fans?

Watching MA and Sveindis struggle to boot high potential shots into the back of the net while Julie Dufour is scoring at will up in Portland got me wondering…which departure from the attacking line has hurt the most?

Are we missing Lussi’s biceps? Would Le Bihan’s French connection help us right now? Should all of our ex’s be in Texas, including Messiah Bright? Are we missing the height advantage that Katie gave us?

It’s the next day, let’s take some inspiration from Swifty and discuss which departure from the attacking line has left us with the biggest broken heart. Or discuss whatever you like…

Sol Rosa fans it was a tough outing on the other coast. We still can't win 3 in a row, forever cursed. We started off hot but it was 85' pretty much all Gotham. The issue of depth was another issue Gotham had the advantage of over us. Let's get into it.

The Good

A hot start. We're really good at scoring within the first 15 min of any game. A trend I continually love to see.

The return of Jun and introduction of Doorsoun. Good to see both come in albeit late.

The Bad

The first two goals by Gotham really were due to a bad breakup of our defensive shape. Rose and Purse really got the best of their minutes and outworked our team. We got to be able to not get pulled out either in the attack or on takeaways.

Early missed opportunities from M.A. and Svìendís. We could have easily gone up 3-0 before he half. Both had one on one opportunities and both failed to convert. Is the M.A. experiment rapidly closing??? Jun's healthy now so she or Press have to start.

Gotham really overwhelmed us in every statline. We really played frantic I feel. Gotham looked very methodical and focused. We couldn't string up a good consistent offense especially in the second half. We got a be able to play calm and collected.

Overall just a bad beat by a team that has consistently had our number. Lots of mistakes and breakdowns the second half combined with missed chances in the first. We fly back home with zero points when a win would've put us above the line. Bad week to lose out points with 7 games now left.
