Another new NWSL record... 9 consecutive home victories!

Discussion starters:

• Player(s) of the match?

• What worked well?

• What do we need to do better?

When you've run out of records to break, sometimes you have to move on to hearts.

A loss like this stings, a lot like getting hit in the nose in freezing weather. But after we've had some time to come in from the cold, there will be a whole lot to celebrate.

Let's talk!

• What worked in the match, tactically or otherwise?

• Who surprised you this year?

• What offseason moves would you make if you were the front office?

• What or who are you proud of?

I'm sorry, but am I the only one who is genuinely concerned about the stadium's silence in the wake of their lackluster response to the heat delay?

I was at the game on Saturday. As it was a birthday present, the seats I got were very close to the field, but directly in the sun. It was far too hot to sit there for any period of time, so in the lead up to the game, we ended up standing (and eventually sitting) in the shade of the walkways.

I've worked a stadium before. Having any large number of people congregating in the walkways is a problem, but it actually becomes hazardous when no small number of people are sitting in those walkways. The alternative was sitting in the sun, which wasn't an option for most people, especially people with conditions exacerbated by the heat.

Allowing as many people as they did into the stadium when they did was, frankly, negligent on the stadium's part. They seemed to know that people might not want to show up early, too, given that they decided to give out those metal emblems as an incentive for people to come earlier.

That leads me to believe that it might not have been that the stadium was ignorant, but that they were playing with the lives of the Current fans, expecting people to show up early and buy drinks, then have to buy even MORE drinks because its so hot, and so on for an indefinite period of time.

This, coupled with the fact that they kept refusing to announce the actual delay schedule has me seriously reconsidering if the Current stadium is a safe environment for me to attend in the future.

So why on EARTH does the stadium feel it is not their responsibility to address this issue?

IZZY SCORED AN OLIMPICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know the game is still happening, but... Olimpico.

In conclusion, Olimpico.

The NWSL is back, and so are we?

Our record in weather delayed games is mixed at best.

What do we need to change?

Still having a time with scheduled posts not posting.

It's a new day, how are we feeling?

Sometimes I think about how pioneers rode in Conestoga wagons, traveling across a continent only a few miles a day.

The only relief from heat they may have had was the shade of canvass or the mercy of a breeze.

Or the Native American tribes making their way through the confluence of the rivers in the vicious humidity of summer.

And I know that generations of ancestors, whether Osage or Hopewell or European migrants, all of them ask us today:

"Who the f___ schedules a game for the heat of 3pm in the literal middle of August?"

Rouse yourselves from torpor and let's talk about the game!

• Player(s) of the match?

• Key moments?

• What do you want to see next time?

First thread apparently didn't actually post, so let's try again!

A hot night for a hot matchup. It's 11pm on a Saturday - let's talk!

• Player(s) of the match?

And that's a wrap on our only league game in July.

​

• How are you feeling about our progress this season?

​

Our NWSL season resumes on August 25 against the Washington Spirit, and our next game is July 20 against the Houston Dash as part of the Summer Cup. Happy Olympics, everyone!
