No one has ever 1-2-3 Cancun’d harder than the Atlanta Hawks. My goodness.

Gutted for Savy. Bounced back from a horrific medical ordeal, was once again settling into the team, and suffers an injury during international break. This beautiful sport can be so cruel sometimes but very good to see her stay positive. Wishing her the best and hope she’s back for a playoff push!

That’s what Champions Cup is all about! Just when it looked like another disappointing result was incoming for LAFC, Tafari put his mind to it and came away with the late winner. ⬇️ 📰

Zubi and Ben White aren’t just bad, they actively cost us matches. I never want to see them again. Ever. Literally, never.

Have to hold on. Taking a goal lead, even a draw, into the home second leg would be huge. Eze feasts on these dudes. So can a healthy Saka. Maybe he gets us a 2nd today 🤷🏾‍♂️

Coming into the Leicester match City had a +13 GD. The 7-0 win for Arsenal, with several games in hand still, really puts even more pressure on first. City slip up, and it’s truly game on. Though I still think they see it through.

Trying to argue that wasn’t a pen is actual insanity. Does he bait it? Yes. But that doesn’t give a defender the right the run right into someone, arms out, not playing the ball even a little bit. If that’s not a pen, then nothing is ever a pen.

So it’s not just me!

Smilla brace, Mario goal. 6-0!!! Can we transfer a goal or two to the men? Like a family plan type of thing?

How it feels going from watching Arsenal’s women side, to watching the men 😭 😩

4-0 first half lead. Stina brace. Rotated squad putting Leicester to the sword. Renée standing on the sideline ominously. Vibes couldn’t be better for AWFC

Stina gets her obligatory goal! 3-0 first half lead. I love this team so much.

SMILLA GETS HER FIRST WSL GOAL!!!! She is such a versatile player and still a teenager! Incredible signing.

FRIDA!!! Perfect header, just enough on it!

Hinds in the midfield? Smilla at center back? Renée what are you cooking up?!

Champions Cup action tonight for LAFC. It’s going to be a tough test against Toluca, and the team know how important a big result in this first leg at home, will be. ⬇️ 📰

Took 92 minutes but we get defense!!!

PSG might have just wrapped up the semifinal. Five goals already. Sheeeeeesh

This champions league match is the type of football we all fell in love with.

It’s why I love talking to Alex so much. He’s honest almost too a fault. He’s up front about what’s got him happy or upset. He knows this is a process, but also, not afraid to keep it real. Never hits you with “coach speak”

Frustrating loss for Angel City. ⬇️ 📰

That’s a tough loss to swallow. Second time the team did enough for a result, but mistakes and allowing second chances have bite them hard. Time to regroup and get back on track with two more home matches coming up.

Another great build up from ACFC but credit to Portland, their defense has been in the right spots all day.

Tough way to concede but it always felt like that type of goal would be the first one in for either side. Portland with the late lead and now, can Angel City find an equalizer and come away with a point at least?

Tiernan with another rough first touch, theme of the day for her unfortunately.

JUN ENDO SUBBED ON AND SHE IS BACK!

Endo also getting ready, could see both her and Ary subbed on soon.

Ary on the sideline, looks set to come on.

Bonus halftime thought…. Grounds crew doesn’t need to be adding more water to this pitch.

Halftime thoughts: -Angel City doing well to find space through the Thorns defense, just need the final piece for a goal. -Portland still a major threat on the counters, can’t make too many mistakes playing from the back. -ACFC defense doing well considering Savy is out. - Subs needed asap.

If either could go 45, would bring on Endo or Ary at the half. This match is screaming for their bit of creativity and dribbling in the middle of the pitch.

Kennedy Fuller is so good on the ball.

Angel City with a really strong sequence but couldn’t get the finish to get the goal. They look to be finding a way through this Portland defense though.

A lot of these foul calls against Angel City seem more like players slipping from the pitch being wet. Wouldn’t be the first match crew has overwatered to start a match.

Both sides feeling each other out so far to start this one. Very much looks like teams fresh off international break. That long ball overtop to Sveindís looks there though. Could see that a few more times today.

You already know where I’m spending this gorgeous, albeit cloudy, Sunday evening… About 15 minutes until kickoff for Angel City vs Portland Thorns.

Jun Endo starts on the bench for Angel City FC today, Taylor Suarez into the starting XI!

Okay, Champions League done and now we shift to NWSL action! Angel City FC are back from break and looking to get the win at home over a tough Portland Thorns side. This is the first of 3 matches at home for ACFC, and they can really kickstart another run early in this new season. ⬇️ 📰

Masterclass from Lotte and Foxy, Olivia continues to be the best million pounds ever spent, had their defense on skates. Need Mario to lock in because she has had a rough season compared to last year. Foord, that final touch needs work. Most importantly, STOP MAKING MISTAKES.

One goal lead going into France!!!! We absolutely look better than them. Hopefully a 90 minute Leah by the second leg. We can get back to the final, for sure. Great result!

Fully expect one more solid Lyon chance, just hang on!!

SIX MINUTES?!?! From where?!

Pls don’t talk about the men. I’m actually enjoying my day, thanks!

OLIVIA FUCKING SMITH YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!!!

THAT’S MY RIGHT BACK!

If I could, I’d take the aggressive, strong mentality of the women and give it to the men. And I’d take the set piece ability from the men and give it to the women. Then we’d have two perfect Arsenal teams.

I hate how she throws her body around, but love how good Olivia Smith is at drawing fouls.

I’ll take it! Can still get a second!!!

To think, there are still people out there that don’t rate Emily Fox. Insane.

Feels like one, maybe even two goals available for Arsenal. Gotta clean up the passing, and get a bit more bite up front. Can definitely sneak a 2-1 win but most likely, just head to France level at 1-1.
