✨ NWSL CHAMPIONSHIP AT ROWDY AUDI ✨

🌸NEW POD🌸 Annie, Ella & André recap the Spirit's 2-1 win over the Reign. We discuss why some players weren't satisfied with the performance, Eli Tsé's first NWSL start, Hal Appreciation, and a lot more! 🟢 open.spotify.com/episode/4Ols... 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... #nwsl #woso

Love is Love. Love is Loud. Be you, and be proud! 🫶Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ In case you need it, we included a visual glossary of flags that represent various identities within the LGBTQ+ community! ✨

Despite an own goal, Washington Spirit improved on an early May match against Seattle Reign in last night's 2-1 win.

Last night’s Spirit attendance (19,365) was a) third 19K+ this year and b) higher than every DCU game at Audi this season. With a Nats game still going on at kickoff! Yes, how team sells/counts tix affects attendance numbers, but not that long ago a) and b) would have been unfathomable.

Guess what’s back?!? Get your match worn jerseys! mws.com/us/event/30-...

Admin did in fact join us in the second half after the sun went down😂😂

I love that this is how our coach describe Hal, it makes me so happy that he recognizes what’s she’s worth. Now renew her contract

And then he said he calls her the Jeep, because like a 4x4, she can handle anything!

“Whatever you ask her to do, she’s going to do it. I’ve never seen a player like her in my life.” – Adrián González

Adrián González on the performance: "We need to find ways to win, and sometimes the way to win is not the one that is the more beautiful, but that's also important."

González calls Seattle "uncomfortable to play" and says he's very happy with the defensive performance, particularly in the context of fatigue after a draining month. Some context from me: Seattle created 0.53 xG on the day, 0.11 in the 2nd half. (? from @andre-carlisle.bsky.social)

Hershfelt paid a lot of credit to Claudia Martínez's decoy run opening up the space for her to score. "It wasn't the cutest shot ever," says Hershfelt. "A goal's a goal."

Trinity Rodman & Hal Hershfelt kick off the presser. "It's great that we won, but I don't think that was a great performance by any means," says Hershfelt. "Damn girl!" deadpans Rodman before agreeing.

best feeling in the world btw

Is this you @spiritsquadron.bsky.social

Spirit players coming through the mixed zone with plush coyote dolls

Next home game is July 3, we will be there but until then we'll have a review of this match out, and we have some fun ideas for episodes during the break! You can't escape us, MWAHAHAHA.

FT | 2-1 SPIRIIIIIIIIIIIIT DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB!

Dahlien trips herself and the ref gives a free kick. Alright.

Ratcliffe enters the game and gets a big cheer from Audi! 🥹

Thank you for a very enjoyable game.

neither did we and we don't like it

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL 🙌🙌🙌

86' | HOWWWW! Rose sneak attacks a press and takes possession in the box but fires right at Dickey!

Trin Spin Counter: 1! This one allows her to slip a pass to Gift Monday who cuts back on her defender and tees up Martínez who fires over the bar! That was saucy.

Audi Field, you got Hal Hershfelt's attention 🗣️

Two fans in the row behind Duplicate Jose just celebrated Hal Hershfelt's go-ahead goal by cheers-ing Duplicate Jose's front paws with beers. A beautiful sentence to write.

HALLLLL YEAH

81' | SUB Santos and Carle off, Metayer and Monday ON!

2-1 HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

78' | 🟨 Andi Pretty sure what the ref just did here is illegal.

✨ Attendance: 19,365 ✨ Tenth sellout in Spirit history!!

Claudia with GREAT tracking back to stop a counter. Should have been a foul but the ref points to the corner. Still, there was a passing option and she had to spring about seventy yards to break it up. Tremendous effort!

73' | GAH! So close! Hal presses Dickey and forces a bad pass and is able to claim possession and attempt a quick chip but it floated high!
