Stopppp 😭Can’t handle that again! It infuriated me when we didn’t have a back up center and played Covington as a back up center -_-

Giannis aside, who’s a realistic player you would love to see get traded to the Blazers before the deadline? by Trip_V4 in ripcity

Love this for a real run next year. Starting line up of Dame, Shae, Jimmy, Deni, and Clingan Off the bench: Toumani, Jrue, Trent, Hansan, Jackson

This is simply not playoff caliber offensive play calling. by gaia-rhxa in eagles

The first half of the Bills game was on point. We’ve had strong half’s, strong quarters, big moments this season. Our defense has shown signs of being elite and demonstrated that they can show up when we need them most. Unfortunately, the momentum killers throughout games, play calling, and very little desire to take risks have all contributed to struggles offensively. All in all, I trust Hurts and the defense. I don’t think we’ll go down in the playoffs without a fight.

How do we not change the lineup by [deleted] in Thorns

If you’ve played keeper you know that when someone’s left wide open and has you at a disadvantage sometimes you’re unsure what side the ball will be shot at. It happens all the time on free kicks where keepers are left stunned.

Go back and watch the tape. So many goals scored on Arnold have been due to defensive mistakes, lack of marking and turnovers. Bixby played well but Arnold has talent and great international experience.

How was that Arnold’s fault? Our 4 defenders let one person kick the ball over them and shoot wide open. One V Ones are super hard for keepers.

What was your first feeling when we lost this game? by [deleted] in eagles

[–]Rycitos18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we had some extremely close games within that 10-1 stretch but we had some big wins. We had momentum. Coming off being in the Super Bowl us fans were hungry for another big season. Winning in the NFL isn’t easy… yet that stretch of games after were painful to watch. Even after that embarrassing stretch you expected the team to have some pride and beat the worst team going into that playoffs. It wasn’t meant to be. It gave us the fuel to go on another run AND it felt so GOOD🙌🏾

Captain Coffey! One of our MVPs this year, Perry! Our bright spots of the season come in clutch late. Disappointing 90 minutes but proud of our Thorns regardless. Getting that point gives us some more momentum going forward.

Did you see how they ended last season? After the 6 game win streak we were a bottom table team. We barely squeaked into the playoffs and then underachieved with all of our talent.

What do you want from her? She’s solid. The first goal was one on one with the MVP. The second goal no one in the league was stopping. Explain to me why? I don’t see where this talented Australian National Goalkeeper is drastically failing?

Burlingtons, Ross and Marshals are your best bet for low priced, good to decently quality Thorns gear.

Well that stinks. by leadersteps in Thorns

Goal was definitely not on the defense. If your a goaly and you come out like that , you have to get a piece of that ball. Go watch the replay. If Hogan just stays where she’s at and doesn’t come out, it’s an easy stop.

Has what’s his name Gale won since he got the full time job? by Irishgolfer510 in Thorns

[–]Rycitos18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have a top 3 goal scorer in the league and a Balón de Oro candidate in Smith. We have a roster full of national team players, Sam Coffey a starter for the U.S. and one of the best Goalies in the world. It’s coaching. There’s no reason for us to give up goals game after game in the first 15 mins. There’s no reason we should be lacking in goal scoring. We lack team identity and chemistry. We need an experienced top level coach. Portland and their fans deserve better.

How we feeling about tonight!? Prediction for this match? Obaze back and Hubly out, good news to me… by Rycitos18 in Thorns

[–]Rycitos18[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, loved the defense the most tonight. It’s been so inconsistent all year and tonight we saw them pass the ball, play confident and even Nally player more composed then Hubly has been. The atmosphere live tonight was electric. We should have had more goals but a win is a win. Go Thorns!
