    Agree with that. She still wasn’t supposed to mark anyone and I pointed out in a prior post that her part of fault was not staying tight to the post caused her to get beat near post as you never get beat near post. Still she didn’t impede Johann from anything that was obvious watching the...

    So does anyone know when players have to decide if they are staying or leaving (to go pro or to transfer)? I imagine it will be a while before we know now that there is no NWSL draft anymore, and those teams can pick up players any time they want. I remember it being pretty late when we found...

    AGAIN, Kennedy did exactly what she was coached to do…stand beside the back post. It was not her job to mark anyone. We also put a player on the near post who also doesn’t mark people. I (respectfully) think we have a lot of people on here throwing criticism that have little or no experience...

    Kennedy was not supposed to be marking anyone, please see my post about this on the prior page. She was doing her job standing on the far post. She did exactly what she was coached to do. If anyone lost their mark on that play, it was Faasse. And I don’t even think she lost her mark as much...

    Freifeld wasn’t even in the game. Kennedy was at that post and she was there because Damon teaches it….he wants a player standing at the near post and the far post on corners…they are supposed to be there to be another obstacle for the ball to clear if the GK is beat. It was not her job to...

    We can't blame refs for everything. We had 110 minutes to win that game and the only goal we scored was off of a complete gaffe by them. Creating scoring opportunities against quality teams has been this team's Achilles Heel all season long unfortunately. And giving up a goal on the last play...

    Fitting end to the season honestly. We were the better team and controlled the ball way more than TCU. But we CANNOT score. There is just no chemistry in the attacking third for this team, and everything is right up the middle. We almost never get the ball down into the corners and get...

    TCU hasn't impressed me nearly as much as I thought they would, considering the margins of victory in their first two games. They don't have anyone particularly dynamic in the attack. We can win this. I'm glad Damon put OT back up top. Outside of one nice cross in the first 10 minutes, she...

    I would just like to see us not give up on maintaining possession of the ball late in the game if we are ahead. I get playing safe and taking no chances in the back, but we were dominating Tennessee possession-wise for most of that game, and then in the last 15-20 minutes we just completely...

    Agree that win and advance is all that matters…my point though is that we’re not going to be able to win if we try to bunker in like that against the better teams that we’re likely going to have to go through. It’s not sustainable.

    Johann (and Tennessee’s inability to finish) saved our asses in that last 15 minutes. We have got to do better closing out games…most teams would have gotten back in the game. We just completely quit trying to possess the ball. It’s the American football equivalent of going into the prevent...

    Didn’t have Mara scoring with her feet on my bingo card tonight. Way to go ladies!

    This male announcer on ESPN sucks…he sounds like some guy who never played competitive soccer in his life. Kind of par for the course throughout the year. It’s unfortunate that the network doesn’t do a better job covering this sport. We didn’t even get starting lineups before kickoff. With...

    Glad we got that goal back quickly. This has been an ugly game so far. I agree we have had the better run of play for the most part, but that’s means nothing without goals. I thought I’d be more impressed with Tennessee, but I’m not. We can and should win this game. My main question is...

    Let’s wait and see who actually shows up on campus before we draw any conclusions about anything. In the NIL/transfers era, commitments mean way less than they used to, and even if you land a great player, you might only have them for one season. Also, with the NWSL abolishing the college...
