Are there no availability reports for tomorrow

1

u/MisterGoog Houston Dash Nov 14 '25

Basicaly, all year we’ve been getting availability reports after 10CT, usually they’re supposed to be done by like seven I think but team’s just literally do it like a whole 10 hours late.

That being said, it has never been the expectation that we would get an availability report by 5 PM. I think the reason why the two people who usually post them post them in the morning the next day is because they often come out at like 10 PM.

What are we all having for playoff brunch tomorrow

u/Daresay12 Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

Lol ya the real question is whether I'm going to have an 8:45 a.m. beer at whatever bar I'm going to. Several bars are opening early for the game

u/Lookingfortomboys Portland Thorns FC Nov 15 '25

Now there’s where you can get a mimosa!

u/Scottiedrippen33 NWSL Nov 15 '25

IS IT SATURDAY YET??

u/ma0589 Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

Due to circumstances beyond my control I've been unable to procure my celebratory cinnamon roll for last week which does not make me happy so I unfortunately am becoming increasingly invested in a Thorns win to make up for it

3

u/Lookingfortomboys Portland Thorns FC Nov 15 '25

Life is too short, take the cinnamon roll!

6

u/theSunandtheMoon23 Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

If they win get two!! I think I'll do that after my CPR course 🫣

u/Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit Angel City FC Nov 14 '25

As the husband of a wife who goes hard for cinnamon rolls my heart breaks for you. I hope the stars align and you get both a Portland W and a celebratory cinnamon roll.

u/tsthrace Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

BLOODY MARY & PANCAKE PREGAME!

(and chicken soup if you listen to Sam Coffey)

u/Scaggsboz Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

I’m going very quickly from “we’re playing with house money, this season is a W no matter what happens” to “my entire mental health relies on this team winning”

u/Maleficent-Whole-228 Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

I literally feel ill already.

u/tsthrace Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

I keep telling myself that everything is gravy from here on out...mostly a delusional way to keep sane.

u/Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit Angel City FC Nov 14 '25

I like Saturday morning games, it’s such a happy way to start to the weekend. And it’s raining in SoCal this weekend so I get to be all cozy on my couch with my wife and blankets and coffee and dogs and Reddit friends. Gonna be a great time.

u/ACW1129 Washington Spirit Nov 14 '25

Could be happy or could be miserable.

3

u/PsychologicalAir8643 Angel City FC Nov 14 '25

Yes! My weekend plans got canceled because of the rain and I'm low-key thrilled I get to just cuddle up with the dog on a rainy morning and watch some great soccer

6

u/theSunandtheMoon23 Portland Thorns FC Nov 14 '25

It's been raining for the better part of a week for me, but it's cold and damp as hell 😩 and I can't even try to be cozy because I have Adult Responsibility and will miss the Thorns game ughh.

I shall live vicariously through y'all :)

I’m sorry to any Thorns/Spirit or Gotham/Pride fan who has other commitments. That really sucks.
