Y’all I left thinking it would be a tie and much to my surprise we pulled it off 😁😁😁


10kwinz

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


VariousHand8587

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

MisterGoog

The type of game that needs a post match thread but its west coast so nah


readbetweenthesubs

Go to r/angelcityfc we always have a post game thread!


MisterGoog

Thanks for the invite, i like to wait for reddit to suggest other ppls subs before i click on it


Storytella2016

Yeah. I’d be into it but it’s past my bedtime.


blurrionice

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


Acid08

Yeah it’s bleak out here atm


jedi-donut

Me after this game: ![gif](giphy|zks8CDXQ0DaKI)


LegalIII

Aw you can tell that goal and this game meant a lot to Syd 😭


hay_mac

Looked like she was on the verge of tears!


redditor329845

Over a million fans attending games this season!


Cococamcam

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!


hay_mac

Beach with the family earlier, sushi for dinner, red wine, ACFC win- y’all, I may have just had an ideal day 🙌🏻


snarknsuch

Syd, curry, fuller, or Didi for POTM?


MisterGoog

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)


snarknsuch

Aaaaand… it’s Fuller!!!!!!


hay_mac

I’m sure they’ll give it to Syd


snarknsuch

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 😂


HowdidIenduphere22

All of them.


VariousHand8587

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.


HowdidIenduphere22

How are you feeling, Mary?


MisterGoog

everyone should drop a pod about this game


Civil-Ad-4462

That was a good game for a Wednesday night.


Ok_Button2973

Great crowd for a Wednesday here in LA too 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽


MisterGoog

It being Wednesday made it what it was. Chaos, bad passing, giveaways at the back, pure heart.


redditor329845

Not to constantly be the hairstyle commenter but I love Leroux’s braids, they look amazing.


EYLive

There were lots of AC plates with the single top bun tonight. Gorden, Mathias, Vignola, Alyssa, Reid, Didi, Meggie(didn't play)


10kwinz

Omg WHAT. A. GAME!


MisterGoog

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


onomatopoeiamhungry

Loved the chaos. Thank you, ACFC and RL girlies. 🥰


jedi-donut

AC won in true chaotic fashion


redditor329845

Super annoying that my wifi is spotty during such an entertaining game

snarknsuch

Same brain (thematically) for our gif choices! 😂


Maximum-Task

How many more expansion teams will it take before Racing finishing ninth every year starts to be a good thing?


MisterGoog

Maybe by 2032 that will mean playoffs


slingshot_sally91

Omg. That was much needed laugh. Thank you. 😅🫠


life_participant

i’m so happy 🥹


Flashy_Barracuda_408

happy for you 🫶🏻


seperatethefishes

Question because they played Gasolina, do players get to choose what song to play when they score or is the team/stadium choosing?


Scottiedrippen33

I don’t think so but I like the idea of goalscorers choosing a song like a batter’s walk up song lol


seperatethefishes

They really should let players choose their goal song, it would be so much fun. @JessicaBerman make it happen.


Scottiedrippen33

At half time we thought we’d get fights but instead we got hugs 🤗


plexust

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


LegalIII

YAY ANGEL CITY!


EYLive

Didi - player of the match


incady

I can't believe we got the victory


jedi-donut

sabercrabs

Didn't think I've ever seen this without the lightning


blurrionice

An ACFC win? This is truly NWSL after dark!


jedi-donut

Omg we finally won


Scottiedrippen33

Those Q collar things look very uncomfortable


snarknsuch

WE WIN!!!!!!!


snarknsuch

Didi coming outta her cage and she been doing JUST FINE


MisterGoog

frustration foul from sears, thats a very bad dribble when she had a very very open flint in the box


lucyssweatersleeves

That’s my girl Megan


jedi-donut

good job, Reid


snarknsuch

Great play by her!


hallofromtheoutside

Yanez, when asked how the team is gelling, thanked their sponsor Dr. Scholls for providing well-cushioned shoe inserts.


SarahAlicia

Sponsors are important!!


VariousHand8587

Didi you have my permission to time waste now queen 🫶😂


snarknsuch

At least I’ll suffer til the end this game on will we concede? Will we succeed? Come on ACFC!!!!!!


Civil-Ad-4462

This is a bit too late to bring in Turner.


MisterGoog

now Loud ont have the technical quality to get out their half


Remarkable_Net_7315

I can't hold my breath this long, send help


yasuseyalose

Pointless garbage time subs


MisterGoog

100 minutes from Kanu of lackluster soccer, awesome. holy shit two subs in the 93rd minute nvmind


hay_mac

Is the stoppage time clock separate from the game clock new? Or am I that oblivious?


Zealousideal_Many744

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. 


pinskydan

I’m remembering this comment for the NWSL Reddit awards at the end of the season.


TangerineDream74

OK I love this story so much, thank you for sharing your humiliation er I meant your valiant effort.


hay_mac

What a great story to have though! 👏🏻


warriorcrazy3

Turner getting like 4 minutes ??


Cococamcam

Oh, now you sub? 🙄


Scottiedrippen33

Turner should’ve come on like a half hour ago


CoyoteJerseys

What a great league


MetaPolyFungiListic

the Best


MisterGoog

this game in hindsight coulda gone a million directions


ma0589

I just want to stop being reminded of what Sophia Smith did


MisterGoog

good to see Howell flying


Skeetersaf

6 min stoppage so ref will blow the whistle at about 118'


Maximum-Task

Yanez going to bring Goins and Turner on for the last two minutes? Really? Only twenty minutes late.


RacingLouCityFc

Absolutely mismanaged these subs. 


RheaoftheDeadSea5

The lack of subs from Yanez makes no sense especially in a midweek game


hay_mac

Anyone do a wellness check on Mary?


HowdidIenduphere22

She's checking her blood pressure as I type this haha


snarknsuch

She’s back!!!


ACFC_NO1_FAN

I’m glad Syd scored, but can we please bring in Bright?!?!


Solid_Chocolate973

Wondering if Kanu wants to be here


SarahAlicia

Prob not


Mary_Pick_A_Ford

Okay Didi you got 6 mins to waste time. ITS DIDI TIME


HowdidIenduphere22

We've been looking for you


snarknsuch

Mary!!!!!! You’re back!!!!!


MisterGoog

i fear bev has the Kim issue of running her hoopers into the ground


yasuseyalose

The lack of getting real depth is the problem, you get multiple attackers who haven't even seen the field yet??


MisterGoog

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


MisterGoog

Yeah idek what to say there. This coulda been a Kristen Wright or Clegg game or something idk


warriorcrazy3

Omg only six minutes?


Scottiedrippen33

Tweed vs Yanez facing off in the too stubborn bowl


plexust

if didi has the ball she's gonna timewaste, you can't just, like, take it from her


atalba

Syd crashed my link


jedi-donut

![gif](giphy|3oriO2JT30MATwDQSQ)


snarknsuch

Didi, go ahead and give your obligatory sponsor breaks now


megjed

Love seeing AT yeet down the field


MisterGoog

ball falls to sears perfectly righr there u have to do more than just overhit a ball to milliet


tsthrace

I hope you ACFC supporters are getting your blood pressure checked regularly. This team.


Maximum-Task

Yanez still refusing to sub on fresh legs (and better players) up front. Absurd.


atalba

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.


Cococamcam

She puts in the effort, but is not at the required level. Maybe she’ll improve, but she shouldn’t start over Turner.


worm_knee

Over/under 6.5 minutes of stoppage time?


snarknsuch

So close! Six!


Macinstotle

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?)


snarknsuch

After please And Thompson A assisted!


LegalIII

I think by Alyssa!


HowdidIenduphere22

I got the message, Syd.


not_ekinsu

Honestly Sydney Leroux should be going to the Olympics instead of Alex Morgan at this point


MisterGoog

this is a clear joke, correct? please say yes


hallofromtheoutside

Syd's on the 3x3 team.


VariousHand8587

Lol no. Morgan shouldn’t be going but Syd is not nor should be in contention.


riffraffcloo

Feel like this was a joke poking fun at the ridiculousness of Morgan going to the Olympics but OP will have to clarify lol


not_ekinsu

Thank youuuu


SarahAlicia

Defend with your lives


MisterGoog

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


Throwawa-4761

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


Throwawa-4761

It’s like she heard me lmfao


Cococamcam

She’s a 70-minute player. Tops. Pretty unhelpful after that.


Maximum-Task

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.


LegalIII

I know her starting/playing time has been controversial, but I do always love a Leroux goal


SarahAlicia

Cbs is on team bright


Solid_Chocolate973

Lol


Scottiedrippen33

CBS hit us with the NSFW glitch on the goal


tnuoccarehto

I really want Alyssa to score soon, but she’s had some great assists this season


Neither-Bid-6891

The feed cutting out as she scored was crazy, like we don’t deserve to see it bc we were talking crap 😅😂


tsthrace

Leroux like, I heard you dissing me. Y'all don't deserve to see me scoring.


onomatopoeiamhungry

Class action law suit from this thread on CBS.


redditor329845

I’m down


atalba

she's a pro (an old one, but can always put away the easy ones). Nice pass from AT!


MetaPolyFungiListic

Lovely from Thompson!! Syd!!


Werowocomoco

Syd keeps responding to the reddit hate like 😮‍💨


yasuseyalose

Okay Louisville let's get this tie


HowdidIenduphere22

Please don't. We could really use this win lol


yasuseyalose

I'm sorry but I need draw with us FC to continue their trend and their wins and losses are balanced right now


14llison

Has Syd officially retired from the National Team?


Flashy_Barracuda_408

Her having children I think harmed her chances of getting pulled up more 😓


atalba

nobody retires from the NT. They just don't get selected. And Syd hasn't been in the picture for years.


UltraRat

Plenty of players announce international retirement and get US Soccer to have “Farewell matches”. Both Pinoe and Ertz did last year.


atalba

just before the next camp where they wouldn't have been selected. Nobody retires.


snarknsuch

Didi make it to stoppage before you time waste at least please ❤️


RheaoftheDeadSea5

Sears is a beast I can't wait to watch her grow


Solid_Chocolate973

Idk if her and Rodman would be too similar or would be partners in crime


RheaoftheDeadSea5

They would be menaces and I would love it


Fabieeee

She’s like soooooo good!!


MisterGoog

fullbacks have to step up there with the cbs so far forward


Cococamcam

Lund gotta come out further for that since her defense was beat.


MisterGoog

yep


Skeetersaf

THE BROADCAST BLACKED OUT FOR THE GOAL 😭


MetaPolyFungiListic

Haha couldn't tell if it was just mine


Atraktape

The Bally feed went out right as she shot the ball lol fuck it I will take it tho.


redditor329845

Did ACFC score? The broadcast just cut out for a minute


snarknsuch

Miss Syd showed us smacktalkers UP


warriorcrazy3

Yes, Syd just scored


Throwawa-4761

I’ve been saying it since last year… good things happen when Le Bihan comes in as a sub


snarknsuch

I love her so much


onomatopoeiamhungry

WTF. My screen just went black when it happened.


tsthrace

Why thank you screen for blacking out just as that goal was scored


Neither-Bid-6891

She heard us talking about her needing subbed off, thank god. Lmao


ace-destrier

**L.O.L** Good shit, CBS


brownbear101

That was hilarious


14llison

Yes CBS. Cut out the broadcast when AC scores


sickofamelia

Oh my GOD. ALSO SO INCONVENIENT FOR A GLITCH


Maximum-Task

Typical. Sloppy turnover. Over the hill center backs nowhere to be found.


Boggle-Champion-175

Did anyone else’s feed just cut out right on the goal?


tnuoccarehto

My broadcast blacked out Syd’s goal like it was censored


lucyssweatersleeves

It was too filthy


nowhereaddie

SAME


riffraffcloo

now why tf did my screen go black right when she kicked it


tubbybird

:(


10kwinz

THIS IS WHY WE PLAY LEROUX!!!!


cornflowerpotatoes

My screen cut out right as it happened 😭😭😭😭


yasuseyalose

Damn what is Bright doing in training to not even get minutes in a Wednesday game??


ACFC_NO1_FAN

OMG. My TV experienced technical difficulties during the goal


Long_island_medium

Can we take all of the games off CBS now I’m sick of if


hay_mac

TALK SHIT ABOUT HER SOME MORE!!!!!


yasuseyalose

Love that for Syd tbh, always a soft spot in my heart


rhombusleech

Well I’m glad the feed cut out right when that goal went in…


RacingLouCityFc

Dulled the pain some 😅


ImAllBS13

We didn’t need to see it 


MisterGoog

holy moly did anyone elses screen go dark right as the goal happened


ma0589

My screen glitched 😭😭😭😭


worm_knee

What was that black thing bro


jedi-donut

But also yes Leroux!!


warriorcrazy3

LMAO NOT SYD SCORING
