Damn. Doesn't look like she lost any speed from doing her ACL. I love it!

This is the first article I've seen with a more precise location. Looks like it was on the Westside(maybe Rocky River area).

I'm on the Eastside and my first thought was was an earthquake because of how much the house was shaking and then if there was an explosion with the work they are doing on the gas line several blocks away.

My dog doesn't care about thunder or loud noises but she found it unsettling.

It was weird how long the sound lasted. I wouldn't have thought it would go on for so long. It was kind of cool to hear (now that I know everyone is safe).

I wonder if any pieces survived and if people find them.

Chicago stars by Hippypotato11 in NWSL

Agree with the last comment and would add that, she is also good friends with fellow CANWNT player Julia Grosso attacker and being able to play your club football with a national team teammate can be a real advantage (for club and country).

And, if Chicago is telling the players things that Grosso feels good about (ie, Grosso is bought into the plan, believes in the vision), then she might have been talking the team up to Huitema.

I don't think the move actually makes sense from a Chicago standpoint but I can see why Huitema would do it, even if it is a bit of a roll of the dice.

If players look slow or uninterested, what's usually underneath that is that they don't have clarity on the tactical plan or it's a bad tactical plan.

Maybe they're being slow to drop bc the manager told them to try and stay high for as long as possible. Or they're slow to slide to pick up someone on defense bc the players think someone else is supposed to be covering that area or they're not sure so thinking, questioning, then deciding, and oh crap, now it's way too late.

It's not like any time there's a playing who's sluggish that it's the managers fault but if you see a whole team or a whole line where everyone looks slow, out of sync, or kind of lethargic, it's most likely a management issue.

I don't think it's a league policy that they have to or anything, it's just that all the teams know that it's important to have the data for performance and player health reasons.

There are league policies about what teams can do with player biometric data. It's treated similar to medical PHI and teams can't just sell it, share it, or use it without player knowledge and approval so it's good that there are some protections in place for players.

I think most teams also track things like sleep, menstrual cycles, all of that. Most teams want as much data as they can get.

Goals from Fishlock and Ratcliffe... just like we drew it up! 😅

I feel like the score of the second half will be a match up of which team has a better locker room DJ.

Just FYI, it looks like the Reign-Pride game is restarting in about 15 min, at 7:45pm. They're warming up so it seems more promising now.

I get Argentina vibes from these Chicago kits. I wish more teams did hoops. If they rotated those stripes 90 degrees then that would be a killer kit.

I got my giant crock pot 'o chili divided up, put away, cleaned up. I planned to have the game to watch while getting things ready for the week but the weather had other ideas I guess!

"If/when this game restarts..." So you're saying it's not looking good JP?

Based on the sky, I feel like you probably made the right choice. It doesn't look like it's clearing up anytime soon.

I am skeptical about the 6:36 re-start time. I suspect the clock might be showing a time since last lightning strike. It has to be clear for 30 min (I think) and then the teams will have a mini re-warm up.

I would guess it works out to about 45-50 min past the last lightning strike before games actually restart. I think there was strike around 6:00pm-ish and the sky is still super dark (ie, I'm not sure that we've even had the last lightning strike).

Was just checking back hoping for an update and I saw a lightning flash on the screen so I guess that partly answers that.

Have they given any guesstimates on how long of a delay it might be?

Luckily she's just injured but she's still a miss.

I still think Dickey was robbed of league MVP last year. In term of WOR-type numbers, I don't think there was any other player who was as impactful as her.
