With the regular season about to resume, we take a look at Washington Spirit's shaky first five matches, including some pretty good numbers and discussion of how they can improve.

Good point

I have mixed feelings about this expansion team in my home town. I think the Columbus team will have a great fanbase (and I'll have a good excuse to travel to more Spirit away games), but the ownership group and the way they and the city have ignored community concerns trouble me.

Brittany Ratcliffe is scoring 0.02 goals per minute. extrapolating that pace and assuming she matches her career high for minutes this year, we can safely and confidently predict she will score 21.4 goals. hashtag golden boot. the math is undeniable.

It's possible that a witch has placed a curse on Audi Field

Washington Spirit turned a possible win into a draw last night, in their last home match for several weeks.

There was a lot to like, but also plenty of room for improvement, in Washington Spirit's performance against Racing Louisville last night.

Racing Louisville FC: 2 (0.86 xG) vs Washington Spirit: 2 (1.74 xG) #LOUvWAS | #RacingLou | #ThatsTheSpirit | #NWSL | 🤖⚽

@838carlisle.bsky.social asks her You've scored two long-distance shots and two backheels. Are you ever going to score a normal goal? Sofia, in a resigned tone: Yeah. Yeah, I would like.

Sofia Cantore on her goal tonight: "I don't know. I just shot, and it was a good shot." She says she should have done better on other chances, but I found this answer very charming.

I heard the words "Andi Sullivan" and gasped

Here's a fun wrinkle on the Victory+ problems: the stream is working on my TV, but the audio is noticeably behind! Restarting the stream did not help

Oh, I hate this camera angle

How well is Victory+ working for everyone? I have the stream going on browser. SamsungTV app will not open.
