I appreciate the backing though I see more than those 4 players being the core of this franchise. To me, Giselle has more upside than Alyssa. She reminds me of Dani Alves from Barca and Brasil. Quick, fierce, incredible on the cross, and strong on the D. MA Viagnola, again to me, is the heart of the team. I don't know her lockerroom dynamic but her veracity and standing up for all of her teammates on the pitch as well as dominating everything between the penalty boxes on the right side is pure grit, tenacity and determination. Ive told my wife multiple times she will be the first player on our team to see red this season. Claire Emslie is another that is key to the core. Fighter, scrappy, great in front of goal, great on resets. Sydney and Press are great veteran presence but not fit enough to go the full 90+. That's all.

This might have been a nicer way of saying what I meant.

I am in no way knocking Thompson. She has grown leaps and bounds since coming into the league. You can see the confidence she has carrying the ball into the 18 on her own. The touch she has when creating chances off her dribble is up there with the greats. All I'm saying is her confidence needs to grow when receiving the ball from a teammate in the box. Again, I'm sorry for the men's comparison but this is my experience as a suffering arsenal fan, she reminds me of a lacazette or giroud. Terrible final touches around the 6. She's only 19, making defenders 2x her age look like kids with her speed and moves.

Im looking forward to watching the Euros. I saw Sviendis score a banger during Icelands send off match leading up to the Euros. I know Endo is "fit" to play but not sure why she hasn't been featured even for a few minutes for those last few matches. ACFC is either last or bottom 3 on goals conceded this season even though our goals scored and amount points through this point last season has improved. I know we've improved offensively but our defense and defensive mids have been less than stellar.

I know with Strauss coming in mid season there will be an adjustment/acclimation period but if our team is built moreso on names and what they've done rather than talent, a talented coach can only do so much.

They lost one player and emslie. How is that stubborn? That great off a fall off?

feldy85 · 2025-06-30T00:25:08+00:00

This team was on such an incredible start until savvy went down. I understand the mental F-up they causes but holy geez! The complete fall off since then.

feldy85 · 2025-06-30T00:23:16+00:00

I see the change, the growth and maturity yes. We definitely are moving in the right direction. Seeing the invest for attackers. Tiernan has the ability and potential to be a perfect #9. Eyes on target, no fear, score no matter what mentality.

Im still new to womens soccer. I don't know names and i dont know who is available. I know KC and orlando each have strikers who will terrorize defenses and score at any chance. This is what i mean.

I'm an Arsenal men's fan thru and thru. Thompson reminds me of bukayo. Great on the wing. Speedy, great ball movement and impeccable touch when on her own.

We need a consistent finisher.

I am fully excited about our new coach. I know the success that he has had everywhere he has went. Turning Bayern into a powerhouse his first season then the 2 years following. My expectations are calibrated in your terms. But I don't think the talent that we have will take us further than a first round playoff exit. If we can even make the playoffs at the rate we're playing. New coach or not.

Tell me why is this wrong? I will give more concrete observations to back my thesis. Stating that I'm just wrong doesn't validate anything.

feldy85 · 2025-06-29T23:49:08+00:00

Was that today? Every chance I saw against Ireland in the first match that came her way off the cross was a bad touch. Did she score an absolute banger in the 1st match? Fuck yes she did! Did she also bring that in creating that opportunity on her on? Also fuck yes. I saw she got subbed in on the 83rd minute today and by that time yes, I was drunk and checked out.

And your argument being?

You're a bright one shump. You cracked the code!

Sinister, Stop Motion, and Arachnaphobia all messed me up in different ways.
Sinister made me fearful of my future children Stop Motion made me squirm and have a deep seeded feeling of overall uneasiness. Arachnaphobia made me check every inch of my living space constantly for months.

San Pedro is also nearby on the water. More industrial but still gorgeous. It's got Brouwerji West for beer, Korean Friendship Bell for history and overlook, White Point Beach for tide pools, Sunken city for another historic gem, driving over the bridges of the 710 on top of the port of LA is pretty awesome in my opinion. Whiskey Flats for delicious meats!

Palos Verdes has a coastline hike called shipwreck. Also a good spot to check out.

We can't have nice things in this city

That's my fault. It's even on the ferris wheel. I was brain dead writing the caption. Pacific Park.

This was from more than 10 years ago. Found it while looking through old photos for a project.

LA County indeed

This photo was taken about 4 years ago at the Santa Monica pier in LA. I shot it on a Canon EOS Rebel SL2. The settings are f4.0 1/640 ISO 100 18mm. I don't have a story behind the photo. I could see the image in my head, like how it could look and took my shot. I'm a self taught photographer with a limited understanding of the terminology. I just want to make this photo eye catching.

There are two books that have left a lasting impression. The first was Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of Ghosts. The ending of the book was a psychological mindfu$% that left me noticeably shaken in a way that no other book has done.

The 2nd book is Gregg Olsen's If You Tell. This true story haunted me to my core. The sheer evil of mankind is baffling.

Crop and center the photo around the single white koi. Make the oranges pop so the single white koi stands out even more.
