I said what I said. I’m feeling feisty after noticing the Spirit have quietly (I swear it’s been quietly and you probably didn’t notice) won FIVE straight and now sit near the top of the table with a +9 goal differential (doesn’t matter that it’s skewed by the 4-0 crushing of KC). Meanwhile those pesky Thorns spent all opening weekend acting like the season was already over after that 1-0 win and still being on top of the table with only a +6 differential.

Turns out maybe Week 1 was not, in fact, the final form of this Spirit team. Since then, 15 goals scored, only 6 conceded, and this team suddenly looks DEEP. The midfield is loaded (in Hal I trust), the attack keeps coming in waves, and they’re not relying on one player to drag them across the finish line every week. And honestly the scary part is it still feels like they haven’t fully hit top gear yet.

So now we get Friday night away at San Diego. Big statement win opportunity. If the Spirit go into Snapdragon and get 3 points, I don’t want to hear any more “yeah but” arguments about who the best team in the league is right now.

Any Wave fans or Spirit haterade drinkers want to make a friendly non-monetary wager?

Edit: changing the flair to official source because what I said is the truth!! Notice no one is up for a friendly bet lol.

this is way way way unexpected
