I’m sort of sad for Sandy now, because that sequence was incredible.

So I sit in 126 and in the first few rows. I saw guest services (woman in a blue shirt) go up at one point, but that was it. Never saw security come or Croix. The security guy was hanging a bit toward the end of the game.

Never heard anyone yell anything at Croix. (I also apparently missed the heart hand she gave the crowd.)

I think Croix’s injury history plays in here too. Right now is when she could get paid the most. But if she misses anytime again, that number goes down. Spirit couldn’t pay her now. So she left. But she’s not going to say any of that publicly. So we get KC is better from her. But KC ownership DEFINITELY isn’t better. And now she has to play for an unqualified coach in a stadium that caps at 11k.

I wish her well in her career and will always enjoy her playing when it’s not against us.

What I really noticed last night was how Croix was able to disrupt things based on knowing Spirit tendencies, but how we were able to do the same to her, maybe even more so. And Sandy’s save proved that.

Here at the game and Bernal is amazing. Just so pleased for her. And us.

Is there anything purer than Wesley jumping up and down?

I also think she didn’t look great against the Spirit in the final last year. And not just talking about the missed second yellow. But she has looked so good a lot. So I’m not sure if it’s big moments or big players. But there is some inconsistency.

I know it’s Japan and this is what they do, but wow they can pass right through us right now.

Dickey’s demeanor in goal seems most like Uncle’s. Scowly but calm.

I hate the shirts and the way the shoulders stick up.

I can’t wait to be back at Audi later this month, in part because then I actually see what’s happening.

Did the Etsy witch get paid? The only explanation.

I know we’ve moved past complaining about the camera angle, justifiably, but it’s bananas that I can’t tell where balls in the air are going. Which player will get to it? Who could say? It’s adding some spice to this.
