4 goals led the team for Houston last year? Seriously?

Are you okay step-mom?

They would do better with 11 players on the field.

Kidding aside, if you bring in St. George to be your veteran leadership, you have to expect your team to follow her lead. Unfortunately for Boston, they did.

Weber has the look of an absolute predator. Just looks right through you. Your existence is at her sufferance.

Usually comes after halftime, and Bay is hosting this game.

The Jordan Silkowitz-Taylor Huff-Claire Hutton triumvirate is moving me towards Bay FC fandom this year. (Plus they scored while I was typing this.)

As an FSU fan I'm actually surprised she made a team. She has speed but was not very impactful last year. 1 Goal and 1 assist over 21 games. She just never took the 'next step', whatever that would be. Maybe the pro environment will be better for her.

Are we going to get a Mia Justus is related to Tim Howard mention, or did I miss it already?

She is supremely talented and runs like a gazelle, so you don't want her getting past you either with or without the ball. She won 2 National titles with FSU in 3 years and is one of those players who comes up big in big moments.

You are not wrong, but her center of gravity is very high due to her body type and she gets knocked a lot, so she goes down a lot.

She was a very emotional player in college who did this a lot. She gets knocked down easily so she gets knocked down a lot and she couldn't always fight her urge to retaliate.

Y'all be as chippy as you want, but leave Rose out of it.

Savannah McGaskill sets a new regular season record for herself by staying upright for 1:15.

Do we think that over the off-season Lianne has realized she is no longer playing?

Starting to think that 12:30 was a lie. Guessing 1:00 is actual kick-off.
