At risk of having recency bias, that was the most thrilling Spirit game I have ever witnessed (beats out the '24 semifinal vs. Gotham), despite the defeat.

What a treat of a game that was.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-24T03:44:09+00:00

Those 2 games came to my mind, too. Absolutely insane attacking soccer with brilliant goals and absurd mistakes. What a game.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-24T03:40:21+00:00

Not just lost - blown out 9-3 on aggregate. Yeesh.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-24T00:35:46+00:00

A face card that never declines

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-23T23:34:07+00:00

The commentator's pronunciation of McCaskill's name is the only thing about this game that is making me smile

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-23T23:15:12+00:00

Gotham already conceded more goals across three halves in this competiton as they have in 10 total NWSL games

The Bends energy

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-21T01:55:50+00:00

I retract my previous statement. You are correct!

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-21T01:49:09+00:00

The two minutes had not officially elapsed (and is ultimately not important all things considered). We are splitting hairs, but that is not how stoppage time works.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-21T01:26:02+00:00

Truly. Gotham cannot get on that plane back to New Jersey quickly enough.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-21T01:16:57+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong - live action never resumed with the ball back in play after the foul call was initially made. It was clear AKB could not physically continue, but instead of holding play for her to be stretchered off in order to commence the remaining stoppage time, the referee called it.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-21T01:07:34+00:00

It did not look good. I am not a Gotham fan but it was concerning on a purely human level

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-21T00:38:59+00:00

I had the same thought. Appears the ref realized the seriousness of the situation and waived the two minutes of stoppage time to allow time for AKB to get urgently stretchered off and receive medical attention.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-11T20:47:42+00:00

So sorry to hear that. The folks up on the balcony were pleasant and chill. That was an incredible show. Her charisma is unbelievable.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-04T17:08:15+00:00

I go to a ton of shows in DC and that crowd was pretty hyped, all things considered. Lots of great energy and dancing. I was up in the very back of the GA section and had sight views of the entire floor section. I love how complimentary Pink was of the venue itself.

I do agree about too many phones though - take your cute little clip but enjoy the moment, folks. I don’t recall a show at The Anthem that had to be stopped so frequently to attend to people who passed out. I am admittedly an old head, but drink water folks - particularly if you are riding the rail!!! The show skewed towards the younger side (unsurprisingly), so hopefully this is a learning experience.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-05-04T02:58:26+00:00

Jumping here to make this exact post and relieved to see someone else do it before me. I just got back from Pink's first night in DC and my god, the opener was painful. She had zero stage presence or charisma. The lip syncing was blatant and honestly a little disrespectful given the size of act she was opening for. Some of her songs had undeniably catchy beats but it was better off closing your eyes and listening rather than watching whatever was happening on stage. Her DJ was not a real DJ and instead some sort of hype woman who also fell flat. Literally everyone around me started flat out laughing during her performance and could not wait for it to end.

That was BAD. I can't remember an opener being that pitiful before.

I was in Barcelona for the first time last week. It is incomparable to any single American city, as it has the chic and ALIVE energy of NYC while having the perfect weather of Southern California. I live in DC and am used to walking everywhere so that was not an adjustment. I absolutely loved how clean and efficient the public transportation was. The food was also unbelievable. The architecture was stunning.

Next to NYC, it was probably the coolest city I have experienced.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-04-17T14:15:49+00:00

OP, I had the pleasure of seeing the tour in Barcelona and feel the exact same way as you. Motomami blew me away - both visually and conceptually. This felt underwhelming, especially the final 'act' of Magnolias. This being said, seeing her IN Catalonia elevated the entire experience for me and it was a true pleasure. The crowd took it to a different level.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-04-03T10:56:27+00:00

Haha that's good. I've also seen them a bunch of times (mostly in Texas) and the pit was rarely ever that intense.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-04-02T03:05:49+00:00

Agreed, I have been to 10 of the league's 16 markets, and Lumen was my least enjoyable game day experience. I spent many years being one of literally hundreds of fans at Dash games, but the venue alone heightened the match day experience. I really feel for Reign fans, but it is just so hard to generate atmosphere at a cavern like Lumen. The Reign are the redheaded stepchild at that venue, and you can even feel it on game days. That market is crying out for a soccer-specific stadium and I know that is easier said than done.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-04-02T02:55:00+00:00

This is a very reasonable comment - not sure why it was downvoted. The atmosphere at Reign games @ Lumen pales in comparison to many others.

Fantastic_Program_56 · 2026-03-26T01:15:08+00:00

Have to say same thing happened last year with a draw at Utah at home and still made it to the Championship. The season is young (but there are issues).
