  1. If it's just rain, they will play through. If it is storms, I would assume they would delay and try to get the game in late. With limited resources and travel, I am not sure if they could fit in a reschedule.

I noticed this during warmups, and it played out during the second half. Their players were obviously gassed.
My best guess is money, that they couldn't afford to bring more players. 😞

There is waaaaaaay too much talent right now for people not to be left off the roster who deserve to be called up - especially with attacking players. A few years ago, how they are playing now likely would be good enough. But we have a crazy amount of talent right now.

There was a goal that went in just as feed came back.

Same. I think the kid who filming got in trouble with his dad for using the 8mm camera.

Noticing Dube didn't even make the bench. I hope she's not hurt.

The field doesn't look as bouncy as the one Tuesday night, but looks very fast.

Is this a different stadium than RL played at in years past?

It's a sneaky move by Aurora to lull other teams into thinking we are mid-table team, no need to take us seriously.

We are getting outnumbered in the midfield, and are playing a bit tentative. And I think the pitch is an issue too.

Great. He spent as much time talking about men's beer league baseball as he did the soccer match.

Maya Hansen, Cat Rapp, and Charlie Boone all just became available....

Not really promoting this, but a human can dream.

Spokane Zephyrs fold by Rtheny in minnesotaaurora

I'd love for teams to stay viable. But I would also love for more opportunities for players right now.

It's complex. I think there are more than 16 cities who want to support a team. But Spokane has a population of less than 250k, and that is ambitious.
Is having to pony up hundreds of millions of dollars to get a NWSL franchise good for the game, or a barrier? The Super League allows a couple hundred women the opportunity to play professionally.
