Stars close out their run at SeatGeek with a late, 2-1 win over Angel City. By my count they finish 49-32-24 (54-37-29 all comps). Hoping the new location next year will be more fan friendly

Most of the 1st half in Kansas City played out like an attacking drill, but the best part was Chawinga hustling back on defense to take a ball away from Stars player AND THEN booking it to the end line to turn a corner into a throw. KC did get a break on the call against Ludmila methinks

Can't complain about the amount of coverage you get when you set yourself up NOT to be covered, when you don't take accountability for all that happens both positive and negative. What journalist with a choice would possibly opt IN to covering NWSL?

Well the Courage just cloaked themselves in embarrassment after one of the worst press availabilities I have ever seen. Suffice it to say there is no further information about why Sean Nahas lots his job yesterday. And per Ceri Bowley they have not begun to think about a replacement yet
