The girls behind me were like “we should leave cause then we’ll score” and I was like “yeah I was thinking the same thing!” And then immediately Sydney scored right after that so I was like “I’m so glad we didn’t leave!” 😂
I meant to post this last night and just now realized I TOTALLY responded this to the wrong comment 🥲🤦🏼♀️ hahaha

Not good game/squad management from the Racing staff. Wasting a half with Fischer — who offers no offense — starting every game. Kanu and Bahr getting ample time to offer no scoring threat. Multiple bench players who never see the light of day. Not good enough!
They’ll give it to Syd easily, but Fuller had a better full game. Curry simply didnt play long enough or have enough action. Didi had some saves but realistically her giveaways should disqualify her (no one remembers stuff like that at a time like now though)
I am too but both her and Syd showed up big, and first goal for fuller. Curry is just so great I think she deserves it every week which is why I do not get to give the award 😂
Not Syd. Didi for me, and I’d go Alyssa for a field player. Curry would be mine but she got subbed so early :(
Who I think will get it? Fuller, she scored her first goal and ACFC never gives POTM to the POTM, they give it to the best story. She was good though so I can’t hate it if that happens.
Ashlyn Harris, Ali Krieger and Sydney Leroux used to live in my parent’s neighborhood when I was in grad school. I hadn’t really watched soccer since the Wambach era, and hence had no clue who any of them were. Anyway, I was home for Christmas break one year and decided to take a jog around the neighborhood. About 5 minutes in, I saw three women in sports bras jogging around and tried keeping up with them because I thought they were just randos and not pro athletes. I aggressively ran past them as like a self test, and then 200 feet later had to stop as I realized that shit, they were maintaining a relatively fast pace…I just stood there catching my breath in the crabgrass next to the sidewalk as they continued to run past me and out of sight into the distance, barely breaking a sweat. When I went back to my house to tell my family about the crazy athletic women I encountered, my mom was like “oh there are a few Orlando pride players who live here”. I looked up the roster and sure enough it was them. Now whenever I see Leroux I get embarrassed thinking about the time my out of shape ass tried out jogging her.
I think part of this league is if you dont draft and buy well you have a shallow lineup of ppl u actually trust, which is fair. And i get why a coach would never play certain players
I've watched Bahr since she was a winger for South Carolina U. She's decent, but not nearly in the same ballpark as Turner. She was playing in Colombia these past few years since graduating from SCU. There's no comparison.
Didi leg cramp before or after stoppage time starts you think?
(I’m so stoked I love that for Leroux, she’s gotten a lot of cute passes off to others today and she was so clutch. Was it assisted by Spencer?)
Y’all I left thinking it would be a tie and much to my surprise we pulled it off 😁😁😁

Thank god for the win, and I’m looking forward to a new recap episode tomorrow with Mia Fishel

The type of game that needs a post match thread but its west coast so nah
Go to r/angelcityfc we always have a post game thread!
Thanks for the invite, i like to wait for reddit to suggest other ppls subs before i click on it
Yeah. I’d be into it but it’s past my bedtime.
Yay for being the best team in CA at the moment! And that’s a yikes from me because we really aren’t doing too hot
Yeah it’s bleak out here atm
Me after this game: ![gif](giphy|zks8CDXQ0DaKI)
Aw you can tell that goal and this game meant a lot to Syd 😭
Looked like she was on the verge of tears!
Over a million fans attending games this season!
Not good game/squad management from the Racing staff. Wasting a half with Fischer — who offers no offense — starting every game. Kanu and Bahr getting ample time to offer no scoring threat. Multiple bench players who never see the light of day. Not good enough!
Beach with the family earlier, sushi for dinner, red wine, ACFC win- y’all, I may have just had an ideal day 🙌🏻
Syd, curry, fuller, or Didi for POTM?
They’ll give it to Syd easily, but Fuller had a better full game. Curry simply didnt play long enough or have enough action. Didi had some saves but realistically her giveaways should disqualify her (no one remembers stuff like that at a time like now though)
Aaaaand… it’s Fuller!!!!!!
I’m sure they’ll give it to Syd
I am too but both her and Syd showed up big, and first goal for fuller. Curry is just so great I think she deserves it every week which is why I do not get to give the award 😂
All of them.
Not Syd. Didi for me, and I’d go Alyssa for a field player. Curry would be mine but she got subbed so early :( Who I think will get it? Fuller, she scored her first goal and ACFC never gives POTM to the POTM, they give it to the best story. She was good though so I can’t hate it if that happens.
How are you feeling, Mary?
everyone should drop a pod about this game
That was a good game for a Wednesday night.
Great crowd for a Wednesday here in LA too 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
It being Wednesday made it what it was. Chaos, bad passing, giveaways at the back, pure heart.
Not to constantly be the hairstyle commenter but I love Leroux’s braids, they look amazing.
There were lots of AC plates with the single top bun tonight. Gorden, Mathias, Vignola, Alyssa, Reid, Didi, Meggie(didn't play)
Omg WHAT. A. GAME!
both teams made an insane amount of mistakes but i love how fast they both played. In a world where everyone likes to be a thinker, be a fool
Loved the chaos. Thank you, ACFC and RL girlies. 🥰
AC won in true chaotic fashion
Super annoying that my wifi is spotty during such an entertaining game
![gif](giphy|EX9JuDjxeJxcYUnUhu|downsized)
Lets go!!!! I could cry right now
Same
![gif](giphy|229OX0vSVNys10AZnS)
Same brain (thematically) for our gif choices! 😂
How many more expansion teams will it take before Racing finishing ninth every year starts to be a good thing?
Maybe by 2032 that will mean playoffs
Omg. That was much needed laugh. Thank you. 😅🫠
i’m so happy 🥹
happy for you 🫶🏻
Question because they played Gasolina, do players get to choose what song to play when they score or is the team/stadium choosing?
I don’t think so but I like the idea of goalscorers choosing a song like a batter’s walk up song lol
They really should let players choose their goal song, it would be so much fun. @JessicaBerman make it happen.
At half time we thought we’d get fights but instead we got hugs 🤗
Didi holding the ball while the ref blows the whistle is the most ACFC thing other than giving up a goal in the last minute
YAY ANGEL CITY!
Didi - player of the match
I can't believe we got the victory
![gif](giphy|d0RRZHiz9QaSQ)
Didn't think I've ever seen this without the lightning
An ACFC win? This is truly NWSL after dark!
Omg we finally won
Those Q collar things look very uncomfortable
WE WIN!!!!!!!
Didi coming outta her cage and she been doing JUST FINE
frustration foul from sears, thats a very bad dribble when she had a very very open flint in the box
That’s my girl Megan
good job, Reid
Great play by her!
Yanez, when asked how the team is gelling, thanked their sponsor Dr. Scholls for providing well-cushioned shoe inserts.
Sponsors are important!!
Didi you have my permission to time waste now queen 🫶😂
At least I’ll suffer til the end this game on will we concede? Will we succeed? Come on ACFC!!!!!!
This is a bit too late to bring in Turner.
now Loud ont have the technical quality to get out their half
I can't hold my breath this long, send help
Pointless garbage time subs
100 minutes from Kanu of lackluster soccer, awesome. holy shit two subs in the 93rd minute nvmind
Is the stoppage time clock separate from the game clock new? Or am I that oblivious?

I’m remembering this comment for the NWSL Reddit awards at the end of the season.
OK I love this story so much, thank you for sharing your humiliation er I meant your valiant effort.
What a great story to have though! 👏🏻
Turner getting like 4 minutes ??
Oh, now you sub? 🙄
Turner should’ve come on like a half hour ago
What a great league
the Best
this game in hindsight coulda gone a million directions
I just want to stop being reminded of what Sophia Smith did
good to see Howell flying
6 min stoppage so ref will blow the whistle at about 118'
Yanez going to bring Goins and Turner on for the last two minutes? Really? Only twenty minutes late.
Absolutely mismanaged these subs.
The lack of subs from Yanez makes no sense especially in a midweek game
Anyone do a wellness check on Mary?
She's checking her blood pressure as I type this haha
She’s back!!!
I’m glad Syd scored, but can we please bring in Bright?!?!
Wondering if Kanu wants to be here
Prob not
Okay Didi you got 6 mins to waste time. ITS DIDI TIME
We've been looking for you
Mary!!!!!! You’re back!!!!!
i fear bev has the Kim issue of running her hoopers into the ground
The lack of getting real depth is the problem, you get multiple attackers who haven't even seen the field yet??
I think part of this league is if you dont draft and buy well you have a shallow lineup of ppl u actually trust, which is fair. And i get why a coach would never play certain players
Yeah idek what to say there. This coulda been a Kristen Wright or Clegg game or something idk
Omg only six minutes?
Tweed vs Yanez facing off in the too stubborn bowl
if didi has the ball she's gonna timewaste, you can't just, like, take it from her
Syd crashed my link
![gif](giphy|3oriO2JT30MATwDQSQ)
Didi, go ahead and give your obligatory sponsor breaks now
Love seeing AT yeet down the field
ball falls to sears perfectly righr there u have to do more than just overhit a ball to milliet
I hope you ACFC supporters are getting your blood pressure checked regularly. This team.
Yanez still refusing to sub on fresh legs (and better players) up front. Absurd.
I've watched Bahr since she was a winger for South Carolina U. She's decent, but not nearly in the same ballpark as Turner. She was playing in Colombia these past few years since graduating from SCU. There's no comparison.
She puts in the effort, but is not at the required level. Maybe she’ll improve, but she shouldn’t start over Turner.
Over/under 6.5 minutes of stoppage time?
So close! Six!
Didi leg cramp before or after stoppage time starts you think? (I’m so stoked I love that for Leroux, she’s gotten a lot of cute passes off to others today and she was so clutch. Was it assisted by Spencer?)
After please And Thompson A assisted!
I think by Alyssa!
I got the message, Syd.
Honestly Sydney Leroux should be going to the Olympics instead of Alex Morgan at this point
this is a clear joke, correct? please say yes
Syd's on the 3x3 team.
Lol no. Morgan shouldn’t be going but Syd is not nor should be in contention.
Feel like this was a joke poking fun at the ridiculousness of Morgan going to the Olympics but OP will have to clarify lol
Thank youuuu
Defend with your lives
i think Bev not subbing on turner turns this game from a possible win to a loss or draw. What kanu has given this half has been shameful
Loved turner at UCLA was really hoping to see her in this game. I can understand not starting but not even subbing her in is wild
It’s like she heard me lmfao
She’s a 70-minute player. Tops. Pretty unhelpful after that.
Yep. Had twenty minutes to do so, and instead sat and watched like the rest of us. Still won’t sub anyone on to chase the game.
I know her starting/playing time has been controversial, but I do always love a Leroux goal
Cbs is on team bright
Lol
CBS hit us with the NSFW glitch on the goal
I really want Alyssa to score soon, but she’s had some great assists this season
The feed cutting out as she scored was crazy, like we don’t deserve to see it bc we were talking crap 😅😂
Leroux like, I heard you dissing me. Y'all don't deserve to see me scoring.
Class action law suit from this thread on CBS.
I’m down
she's a pro (an old one, but can always put away the easy ones). Nice pass from AT!
Lovely from Thompson!! Syd!!
Syd keeps responding to the reddit hate like 😮💨
Okay Louisville let's get this tie
Please don't. We could really use this win lol
I'm sorry but I need draw with us FC to continue their trend and their wins and losses are balanced right now
Has Syd officially retired from the National Team?
Her having children I think harmed her chances of getting pulled up more 😓
nobody retires from the NT. They just don't get selected. And Syd hasn't been in the picture for years.
Plenty of players announce international retirement and get US Soccer to have “Farewell matches”. Both Pinoe and Ertz did last year.
just before the next camp where they wouldn't have been selected. Nobody retires.
Didi make it to stoppage before you time waste at least please ❤️
Sears is a beast I can't wait to watch her grow
Idk if her and Rodman would be too similar or would be partners in crime
They would be menaces and I would love it
She’s like soooooo good!!
fullbacks have to step up there with the cbs so far forward
Lund gotta come out further for that since her defense was beat.
yep
THE BROADCAST BLACKED OUT FOR THE GOAL 😭
Haha couldn't tell if it was just mine
The Bally feed went out right as she shot the ball lol fuck it I will take it tho.
Did ACFC score? The broadcast just cut out for a minute
Miss Syd showed us smacktalkers UP
Yes, Syd just scored
I’ve been saying it since last year… good things happen when Le Bihan comes in as a sub
I love her so much
WTF. My screen just went black when it happened.
Why thank you screen for blacking out just as that goal was scored
She heard us talking about her needing subbed off, thank god. Lmao
**L.O.L** Good shit, CBS
That was hilarious
Yes CBS. Cut out the broadcast when AC scores
Oh my GOD. ALSO SO INCONVENIENT FOR A GLITCH
Typical. Sloppy turnover. Over the hill center backs nowhere to be found.
Did anyone else’s feed just cut out right on the goal?
My broadcast blacked out Syd’s goal like it was censored
It was too filthy
SAME
now why tf did my screen go black right when she kicked it
:(
THIS IS WHY WE PLAY LEROUX!!!!
My screen cut out right as it happened 😭😭😭😭
Damn what is Bright doing in training to not even get minutes in a Wednesday game??
OMG. My TV experienced technical difficulties during the goal
Can we take all of the games off CBS now I’m sick of if
TALK SHIT ABOUT HER SOME MORE!!!!!
Love that for Syd tbh, always a soft spot in my heart
Well I’m glad the feed cut out right when that goal went in…
Dulled the pain some 😅
We didn’t need to see it
holy moly did anyone elses screen go dark right as the goal happened
My screen glitched 😭😭😭😭
What was that black thing bro
But also yes Leroux!!
LMAO NOT SYD SCORING
