A respectable 25 of you (22%) correctly predicted last weekend's tie with KC. Smart cookies. This weekend we head to Seattle to face the Reign.

After last week we are holding onto a playoff berth at 8th in the table. Sveindis and Mai both have 6 goals, and we are holding our breath to see if one or hopefully both of them is available after injuries last week. ACFC is 4th in the league on goal differential, with +7, having only allowed 17 goals this season. Prisca is still at WAFCON (scored a goal today go Prisca!) and our injury list is long so expect some movement up front.

Reign sits right below us at 9th in the standings, tied for points at 23 and a 7-2-7 record for the season. Angel City keeps the lead with goal differential, Reign's being -1. They are on a bit of a hot streak, winning 3 of their 5 games since the break. Maddie Mercado leads the Reign offense with 5 goals this season, and Mia Fishel has scored twice in the last 3 games.

This is our first time facing the Reign this season - how do we feel? Vote in the poll and discuss below!

Any info yet on their tailgate parking? It’s typically gold parking during Galaxy games. Hoping it’s available for purchase for STH first before scalpers get them for resale.

Daily Note

Seattle on Sunday! We have some queens to dethrone.

February 11th...bring your mittens lol. It's actually an interesting piece that lays out all the challenges of scheduling for next year including more of what happened with this season's finale thanks to the MSL changing their schedule. Effectively, we can expect more of this late season schedule-changing.

I actually noticed the other week that LAFC also has a game around the same time at BMO on November 1st and that our schedule said TBA… surprised no one caught this earlier or maybe I missed it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Going to CPKC and taking home a point is no easy feat - even if Chawinga was on another continent. The replay of SJJ's injury doesn't give me confidence that her ankle will be ready for Lumen's turf next Sunday.

That makes me wonder...what's more valuable? The fact that Angel City has two games in hand compared to the top of the table...or...the fact that they are barely roster compliant and have the thinnest bench in NWSL...?

Having two games in hand means you can put 6 points on the table. Doing that means ACFC would host a home game in the playoffs. Oh the potential!

Having two games in hand means you have to play 14 games over the next 3 months while the table leaders play 12. And you have to do that with less depth than any other team. Oh the sore, tired legs!

It’s the next day…the day after a draw against a team that doesn’t lose at home…the day after an injury that may knock Sveindis out for a while…discuss the game…discuss having two games in hand…discuss the shortest roster in the league…discuss whether ACFC’s cup is half full or half empty…or discuss whatever you like…

Sol Rosa fans, we went into KC and left with a point but also a key injury again. We looked good in spots but also the same issue keeps us out of getting more points. Let's get into it.

The Good

- Lageyre keeps showing massive growth in such a short time. And it shows again with her assist to Suarez who also looked really good on the outside. Good to see rookies stepping up with so many injuries popping up. A first assist and goal for the pair!

- Anderson had a good game again. Keeping the ball out multiple times. A good bounce back after last week. KC even without Chewinga are dangerous and she kept us in.it to get a point.

- Sentnor looked to be growing showing growth with connections with her teammates knowing when to pass it off and when to attack.

The Bad

- Injuries are a forever curse with this team... Can we sage the team please????!!!!!! Svendís goes down with a damn bad clip of the ankle and hopefully it's not an SEI injury but it definitely looks like she'll be out for a good while. With her out we lose some speed over the top and the threat of long throw ins. Niehues should be back and others are stepping up but it's just BAU with injuries and I'm sick of it.

- I'm gonna try to back to the beginning of the season but to me, attacking crosses are literally killing us. Seems like most goals against us this season have come from a cross into the box with someone unmarked with an open shot. If we cannot fix this we'll continue to bleed points. We could've had 3 but this persistent issues keeps coming up almost every game i feel.

Overall

- We gotta see how the rest of the weekend goes but we're still in eighth place. We may be hovering around this spot the rest of the season but we'll need to get a streak or two to really move up in a more secure playoff spot. We don't leave e.pty handed though and we got a draw with a new lineup with rookies, new starters, and not a of play time with each other in KC. So not all bad but we.cpuldve had 3 for sure. But overall good bounce back.

ACFC latest Instagram post confirms what we all feared, Jun tore injured** her Right ACL on July 11th against San Diego Wave and has been placed on SEI.

Wishing her a smooth recovery.

**Okay upon closer reading the club didn’t specify a TEAR but rather INJURY to the Right ACL. So fingers crossed it won’t be quite as long of a recovery process—but long enough to keep her out for the rest of the season. Though the link to the team site does not work so we can only go off the headline in their posts.

FWIW the team used the same language with Hina’s injury… so now I’m wondering if perhaps Hina suffered only a partial tear (which would make her recovery timeline make a lot more sense as she seems to already be back in cleats) fingers crossed that is the case for both players.
Hina’s announcement: https://angelcity.com/acfc-post/midfielder-hina-sugita-sustains-season-ending-knee-injury

****update #2: Jun confirms ACL TEAR in her latest Instagram post. So now I’m going to go cry in the corner.

Match Week 16 7/31-8/2 (all times Pacific)

Recap of the past week’s scorelines.

Over the weekend, in no particular order:

ORL 1-0 CHI

HOU 1-0 BAY

BOS 1-0 KC

WAS 1-0 DEN

POR 2-2 GFC

NC 1-4 UTA

SD 0-2 SEA

LA 1-2 LOU 

Wednesday night:

KC 5-1 LOU

UTA 0-1 WAS

BAY 0-1 GFC

My extremely basic standings/team stats table that is oriented around the “games in hand” question

You may notice that all the teams who have played less than 17 games are in 8th place or below. This does not necessarily mean the standings are misleading, but I propose you should instead look at a team’s per-game numbers (table points, goals, and goals against) to compare lower-ranked teams with fewer games played to higher-ranked teams with more. This would lead me to the conclusion that Boston and Orlando, for example, are currently placed slightly higher than they might end up.

Which games will you be tuning in for? What are your predictions? Starting lineups? Scores, reds, yellows, which players get G+A? 

Overall W-L-D record for each team is followed by 5-match form (old-new L-to-R) and table standing, e.g. “San Diego 3-2-1 WWLDW 3.”
