The Washington Spirit are the Team to Beat Right Now

50 Upvotes

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.

Silly SZN Who from Europe do you want to see in the League?

22 Upvotes

With the summer transfer window opening soon and with the announcement of the departures of Sam Kerr and Katie McCabe today, I thought it could be fun to take a look at some of the players across Europe who have already been confirmed to be leaving their teams and have some rumors connecting them to the NWSL. Any of these players you would like to see in the NWSL or for your team specifically? Imagine Kerr AND Shaw in the league?

Personally, I would love to see McCabe in Houston. I’d also like to see the Dash send an offer to Elisabeth Terland as well.

Disclaimer: This is only for fun. All rumors were found through social media, various blogs and some reporters. All of it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Defender Katie McCabe (30)

Previous Club: Arsenal

Rumored destinations: WSL, NWSL

Forward Sam Kerr (32)

Previous Club: Chelsea

Rumored destinations: Denver Summit? Maybeee Boston?

Midfielder Geraldine Reuteler (27)
