Song: ‘War Pigs’ -Faith No More

Hi.

The past week was a joyous week full of woso’ing, but there’s no time for naps in the recliner. But before we move on, there are three pieces below that reflect on the NWSL action we’ve seen since last Friday. The g+ passing networks and shot maps from the midweek games are linked below, which also include shot charts from Trinity Rodman and Melissa Kössler, and Chris Armas being introduced to Peak Sofia Huerta.

Your weekly watch list is also below, which has a full NWSL slate, some fun Euro matchups (pray for Real Madrid), and Wednesday & Thursday’s second legs of the UWCL quarterfinals.

Let us woso, expeditiously…

The midweek games were midweeky af (derogatory)(complementary). Three teams scored three goals, three teams scored zero goals (two of those were Gotham and Kansas City), and a team put up the highest xG of the year so far but drew 1-1. Yeah. Midweeky.

I relived a scything dribble, nutmegs, an exquisite first touch, and players feeling aggy (or something else). Let us bear witness to last weekend’s neat shit.

The second week of the NWSL kept the chaos going. We had surprise results and performances, a couple teams who suddenly seem rather legit, more red cards, a two goal comeback, and a team who got to play ~fifty minutes up a player, then over a half hour up two players, losing 2-0. This league is absurd.

Annie & I recap an annoying and deflating 1-1 draw against the Utah Royals. We discuss the Spirit's performance, which was their best of the season, just without the goals to show for it. Ugh.

Chaotic. I love it.
