Welcome to Casual fc, an Angel City Match

two podcast certified footy therapists.
I'm your host Angel Morales with my soon

mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Woo.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
weeks, but we're hyping it up.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
I am a Memorial Day weekend, baby.
So birthdays has always been a like, I
don't know who's around, so you know, it.
It's fun.
I figured out my thing 10 a
decade ago and that's what I do.
I do my beer crawl.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
it's, yeah, I do that.
So, and it's fun.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
is the big 4.0,
correct?
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: 0 4.
Oh yes.
don't let this fool you though.
'cause all of this has been basic.
No, this is high school.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Really?
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: it's,
yeah, it's in, it's in my family.
We, we kind of salt and
pepper really early.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
But it's a look.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
which my cousin hates, right?
Because being, being a girl, like
salt and pepper, not the best
thing when you're in high school.
getting all these, like
Ghana and everything.
but I've, I've been, kind of salt and
peppering basically, since high school
and it's always been like this, And yeah.
Never really felt the need
to do anything about it.
Just it is what it is.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I like, I'm starting to get little
silvery right here at like my temples
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
a little bit along my part,
and I'm like, hell yeah.
I also have a very different
relationship with aging than I
think a lot of other women do
because I'm like, I'm still alive.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
That's fine.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Also, my grandpa had, like basically the
same amount of hair that I do right now,
but it was just like all just white.
It was just pure white.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: I
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I'm like,
I'm like, all right, I'm gonna go.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
bright white hair.
I think it's the most,
like the coolest thing
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: So hopefully
that's where I'm heading towards.
I'm just heading towards all
white and that's gonna be cool.
Yeah.
But, you know, still, still hoping for.
My, my, grandpa's side of everything
where he still had all his hair.
There was no male pattern
baldness going on.
So, you know, it's pretty thick
and resilient anyways, so,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Awesome.
Alright, well we're here to preview,
re do a little baby recap of a couple
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: okay.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Preview another thing.
So what are we previewing tonight,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
We are previewing our match
against the, ugh, Utah Royals.
It's going to be on Friday, May 9th.
It's gonna be a home match.
So we're finally back at home at BMO
Stadium on a Friday, 7:30 PM kickoff.
It's going to be on both
NWSL Plus and Paramount Plus,
which is really interesting.
'cause usually it's on one of the, either
the network streaming or network packages,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Mm-hmm.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
NWSL Plus as it's not being
broadcast on any one of those.
But it, the schedule says both.
So there you go.
so if you don't have a subscription
to Paramount Plus you will have
it on NWSL Plus for free, and
then you can always, listen to
iHeartRadio with Isaac and Tracy.
and also, KFWB nine 80 LA which will be
in Spanish for the Spanish broadcast.
And May 9th is going to be the,
superhero theme night, which
is mainly a Mother's Day thing.
But what they're doing is it's, going
to be, it's called the Superhero Night.
'cause I believe they're doing a gate
giveaway of superhero capes for adults
and kids for the first 10,000 fans.
which always irks me.
I know we've talked about this, about
giveaways, where it's like first
10,000, you have a 20,000 seat stadium.
Come on now.
But, but it's,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
expensive.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yes.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
10,000.
Even if you're getting that like
wholesale discount, 10,000 is still a lot.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
so yeah, it's going to be the Mother's Day
Superhero Night presented by, I don't know
if you sp pronounce it, nix or NYX nix
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Nicks.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: but the
superhero Cape giveaway thing, it's
kind of honoring, mothers and it's
also honoring, first responders.
And, there was a third word in there
that I don't remember at the moment.
But yeah, they were just
honoring all superheroes in our
community and things like that.
So it sounds like a fun night.
our tickets got, handed
off in the raffle for, the,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
It was the show of our own, one of the
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: there we go.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
raffles.
saw it.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Completely.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
as you were talking.
It just was like,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Ooh, so blanked out on that.
Sorry.
Yes.
show of our own, the collectible
memorabilia show that, turned out to be a
really great night, a really great event,
even though it did kind of semi drizzle
rain on them for the beginning a little
bit, but I heard it was a great turnout.
There was a great panel at, watch
Me Sports Bar and we donated
two tickets, to the event.
And so those got raffled off and hopefully
whoever got them is going to enjoy them.
So,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
cool.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
So, before we get into everything,
let's recap Angie's birthday.
'cause you know, we we're both M.A.
babies here,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
Like I kick off the month,
you close it out and then
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Exactly.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
not podcast best friend
is the last day of May.
So like it's just a party.
My mom's birthday is next week
going Disneyland for that.
Like it's just my birthday Mother's Day.
My mom's birthday.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Maddie's

Yeah.
Your birthday.
Maddie's birthday.
My best friend's birthday is the 31st.
Two of his daughters are this month.
One of 'em has same birthday is my mom.
every day is a thing.
In May, like even I just updated
our little whiteboard calendar.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: We did too.
Yeah, we did too.
There's too much.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
It's too much.
but no, thank you for everybody
who wished me Happy Birthday.
We found out Jany and I
have the same birthday.
I'm sorry.
I know, I know that's not your
name, but it's Jany and too bad.
So, yeah.
Eva, I went to see Beyonce.
My mom, I know I
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
but my mom got me tickets for my birthday.
I kind of ruined the surprise after,
or before, during and after the
Women's national team game at SoFi
because I was like, well, I'm here.
Let me look at resale tickets.
'cause I'm like, I told her
tickets went on sale for Beyonce.
I was like, no, they're
gonna be a mortgage payment.
We're not doing that.
don't,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
a waste of money at that point.
don't do that.
That'll stress me out.
She was like, fine, whatever.
And so I'm looking at resale
tickets and I was like, oh.
These are
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
they're not bad.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
the price range that I would spend
to see Beyonce and in Not the, not
the floor, not the lower bowl of
SoFi, but like the next 200 level.
I'm down for that.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Mezzanine level.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
No
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
fine.
I found some tickets that were
like, I don't know, I think it
was like one 50 each, all in.
And I was like, I will see Beyonce
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Damn.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
like a
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: And
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
like, no, I'm gonna be responsible.
And I told her about it.
I was like, I'm not getting these.
I'm being responsible.
Don't get them for me.
Blah, blah, blah.
That was before the soccer game.
After the game, we go get ice cream.
And she was like, okay, so I have
to tell you guys something to Eva.
And I were like, what?
And she was like, you almost
ruined your birthday surprise.
And I have to tell you what it is.
And I was like, what?
And she's you're going to see Beyonce
on your birthday and we're in the car.
I spilled ice cream on myself.
Evil's.
Like what?
Like we're just like,
I saw Beyonce in Destiny's Child in the
year 2000 opening for Christina Aguilera
at the Universal
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: a bill.
That's a bill.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
So that's the last time I was in the
same area as Beyonce that I know of.
Let me tell you, like I, I
have been to so many concerts.
I'm very lucky.
I'm very grateful that I live very
close to a billion venues at this point.
I love life music.
I'm Eva's a fricking musician.
Like I've gotta, I love live music.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
And I can attest to that.
Yes.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yes.
Yeah.
Mario and I have gone
to concerts together.
I will never see anything better
than that unless Beyonce again.
swear my life.
It is
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I've,
I've heard some amazing things.
Yes.
I've.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
seen.
I'm still trying to digest it and that
I was there, like I'm looking up and I
bought like a fan that says Cowboy Carter.
And it's just like
behind my record player.
Like it's just ah, I saw Beyonce.
it genuinely though is the best.
It was the best night.
We had so much fun that morning my mom
texted me, 'cause like we live in a
duplex and even there in the back and
she was like, Hey, you got a package?
I'm like, okay, cool.
So I run up there and she's I
don't know who this is from.
And I was like, what?
And she was like, did you
order something from Amazon?
I said, no.
And she's do you have a
subscription or something?
what is this?
And I was like, why?
And she goes, because it's your birthday.
on.
She takes it full and opens it and
is yeah, this is a birthday present,
like you're opening this later.
And I was like, no.
So I had to wait and then.
I open it and it's two like
Lego creator three in one kits.
And I'm so pumped and I'm
like, who are these from?
There's no like tag in it, no, nothing.
So I'm like asking my mom, she's
no, I didn't get you those.
And my aunts
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
She's I cut you Beyonce tickets.
I didn't get you those.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
shut up.
all I'm asking all these people nothing.
And then I get a text from Mr.
Mario over here that's Hey,
did you buy any chef because
something delivered to your house.
And I was like, are these Legos from you?
Just like freaking out.
But it, it was a great day even.
I went to a record store that's nearby.
and we went to a restaurant.
This is like the dumbest thing
I'm ever gonna admit about myself.
So being gluten-free, there are
certain foods I miss and a lot of them
are crispy, like deep fried, crispy
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
aren't safe usually.
I found a place oven WeHo that has
gluten-free chili cheese, fries, corn
dogs that you would think corn dogs
are gluten-free, but they are not.
99% of the time.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Oh.
'cause it's their corn it.
okay.
Uhhuh.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: But
there's usually flour in the batter and
the fryer is usually cross-contaminated.
So I went and had a corn dog and
chili cheese fries on my birthday.
I was so freaking happy.
were also gonna go to gluten-free
bakery, but we sat in so much traffic.
We were like, we just have to go
home and get ready for Beyonce.
This is what Beyonce's more
important than any of this shit.
So we go see Beyonce
Best night of our lives.
We get home the next, I had taken
Thursday and Friday off work because
I'm like, I don't, I don't know.
I know this is a very privileged to
take and I understand that, but I
get mad if I work on my birthday.
It's so stupid.
But I'm like, I don't wanna be here.
I wanna be doing something fun.
So I have either been out of the
country, out of the state, off
work, like I refuse to be there.
I don't care what day of the week it is,
I'm just like, I'm staying mad at home.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
no, people gimme shit for it all the time.
And I'm like, I don't care.
I survived another year.
I'm gonna stay at home.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
I,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: go
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I do the same thing.
I do the same thing.
Like I don't
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
you get a bonus built in holiday.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Exactly.
Well, that hence the beer
crawl, hence the recovery day.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
No, but it was fantastic.
And then over the weekend we
had friends over, it was raining
for Six hours in the morning.
I was like, cut this shit out
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Like I have, I have shit to do.
I have
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
to hang out with.
It was cold, like no joke.
We're all sitting outside we've
got canopies to keep ourselves
dry, not safe from the sun.
like all kinds of food, all
this kind of stuff in there.
I'm like, do you guys want blankets?
We're like pulling blankets
out of every storage bin.
everybody's freezing.
We're all just cracking up.
It was, it was wonderful though.
Everybody just kind of came and went as
they could and it was, it was a good time.
I am a big proponent of doing big
hangouts on the cheap, so I've done
like park hangouts on my birthday the
last few years because I'm just like,
I don't need to go to a restaurant.
Bring your, bring a lunch.
you know, make a picnic.
Let's just go hang out.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Exactly.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I don't like to spend a lot of money.
I don't like to ask other people
to spend a lot of money, especially
with everything right now.
I'm like, save that shit.
Just come hang out.
So now, yeah, there, there's
a thought that because.
Of everything getting done
at my house right now.
may or may not have a casual C
watch party later this season.
I don't know yet.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Oh,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: I
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: you put it,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I have
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
put it out in the universe.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
the, I don't even wanna call my mom
my landlord 'cause that's just icky.
But I have to ask the, that be to make
sure that she's comfortable with that.
who knows?
Maybe so.
but no genuinely.
And then, I mean, spoiler alert,
you already know Angel City won.
So I'm also counting that
as a birthday present.
So it was a good time.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Good time.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
in my kitchen watching the game 'cause
I pulled the TV out so I could see it
while I was prepping food for Saturday.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I, I mean, that
goes perfectly into what RKS award is for
the week RKS award is just the fact that
Angel City won that game was all kinds
of nerve wracking, all kinds of exciting.
that was a game, that was a game for,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
We will talk about in a second.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah, it was a game for the,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
stuff to say.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
got a game for the neutrals, a
game for the Angel City fans.
it was fun.
So that's our chaos award.
Real, we'll get to it real quick.
Real.
the other thing is just normal
roundabout scores that we usually do.
Louisville B Houston, Seattle, BKC.
Portland beat Orlando.
So now every, everybody has two
losses, I think, or at least
two losses, something like that.
North Carolina Beat Utah, Gotham
and Chicago Drew zero zero.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
game also, it's the only other
game I got to watch this weekend.
'cause were just rotting
on the couch on Sunday.
We were so tired.
but that was wild.
I kept thinking everybody was gonna score.
Nobody did.
Which good.
You know what, Alyssa Air
deserved a clean sheet, frankly.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: And then, I
completely forgot that the, other San
Andreas Cup game happened this weekend.
So San Diego won two
to one over Bay of Sea.
and with that, yeah,
let's talk about our game.
All right, let's talk about.
Let's talk about this,
win this three points.
so we played, the Washington
spirit in, Washington.
We, I think the team just
stayed in the East coast.
'cause I mean, they played Orlando.
They just stayed on the East coast.
doesn't make any sense.
So they, they were there, they were
at least acclimated to the time
change, all of that good stuff.
They went up north to play the game
and we won with a fun, nerve wracking
result of a four to three score line.
yeah, we had a, a brace from
Morgan on Washington, at the
30 minute and the 89th minute.
And then, gift Monday or Monday gift.
Which way is it?
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: I
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Gift Monday?
Yes.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
y'all GIF Monday is good
unless she scores against you.
And look what happened.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
She scored, she scored at the
40th million, but we got four.
We got a brace from Tiernan who.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
week.
The other team, you know, like
you can score and win, but if you
prohibit the other team from scoring
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yep.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
the, this was gonna happen.
We didn't, we, okay, so I missed
the first half of the game.
I'm gonna be real honest, I haven't
had a chance to go back and watch
it because Friday was shenanigans.
I was running a million errands.
I got home for the second half while
my phone is blowing up the entire time.
The
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: So
you wait, so you missed Oh,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
watch the, yeah, I watched the
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: oh.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
and to answer Vera's question,
I cried on the replay.
So, this game, and I'll talk
about it in a minute, but.
This game is so important.
So Riley Tiernan came in in the
eighth minute and just knocked
one in because of course she is.
And then we had the first sister sister
connection in the NWSL history, which I
wanna talk about the lead up to this goal.
So when Angelina savvy, wait,
Angelina savvy, Alana Kennedy,
long ball to Alyssa, Giselle with
a little shin kick, like a little
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: A little hop.
It was like a hop in a a hop in a bump.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
and a dink because it's, and that's not
a way you can normally move your leg, or
like you should, it's not a common, move.
But I don't care,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: No.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
like you saw Alyssa go from being like.
Hell yeah.
My team just scored two.
Oh my God.
My little sister just scored,
like you saw that like transition
in her face of oh my God.
Oh my God.
And
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
just, ah, like they ripped the
bandaid off of it, and they both
talked about how they both thought
it was gonna be the opposite way,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
the ball to Alyssa,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah, that's exactly,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
because of it.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: that's
how exactly I was, you know, I
was, I was watching the game.
Jen didn't watch it or anything, but
I was explaining to her like the, the
sister, sister connection that happened
and how everybody was really more
expecting it to go the other way, just
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
their positions.
Right.
Thompson, Gisele being in, Thompson
being in the back, and Thompson being
in the front, Gisele being a defender
and, and Alyssa being in the front.
But the fact that it flipped the,
the fact that it was so clean and
we say it was a little dink and a
little boop, but it was just, yeah.
if, if you're watching, I might
have the clip with no audio on it.
Don't tell, shh, don't tell
the NWSL that it's on there.
'cause it's just that good.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah, so that was in the 22nd minute.
So if you paid attention to when
Mario said Washington scored, so we're
up to nothing at the 22nd minute.
Then Esme Morgan, one of their center
backs, comes in and scores eight minutes
later at the 30th minute and then 10
minutes after that gift Monday scores.
So we go in halftime, tied up at Tutu.
This is a brand new ball game.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah, yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
nothing.
It's a nothing burger
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
Riding high.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
at halftime, ain't shit to work with you.
It's a
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
You just start over essentially.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
we come out, nothing happens.
Nothing happens.
Subs are made shocking.
Katie Zem in the 72nd minute has the
most steady surefooted like veteran goal.
just getting herself in the right
place, seeing the ricochet and then bam.
And then of course in the discord legs up.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Legs up.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
joke.
and I had gotten home
like 15 minutes before.
I'm screaming she's outside doing
laundry, like runs back in the house.
I was like, legs up.
Legs up.
so like
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: We were,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
you know, the discord starts
blowing up and everybody's legs up.
Legs up.
This is the dumbest thing
in the whole wide world.
I love it so much.
Mario texted me, what is it, Monday?
Like I was thinking about doing
legs up for zem, like merch, and
then I was like, no, that got
really inappropriate, really fast.
Like we can't do it.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I
am like anything, anything.
I came up, I think anything we
came up, I came up with in my head.
didn't put anything pen to paper, but
like anything I came up with in my head,
I was like, no, that's automatically just,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
bad.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah, someone's
gonna, someone's gonna ruin the fun thing.
So.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
it's, it was so fun.
Like Cassandra and her
wife were on vacation.
Next thing you know, you get
two sets of legs up in the air.
Katie's throwing a leg up
from a fricking retreat.
we got, I think, was it Joe?
Somebody was at a play at Long
Beach Poly and was like, I can't put
my legs up, but here are my legs.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
like I'm running overthrowing
my leg in the air, like kicking
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Like it was just,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
so stupid.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I was going,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
much.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I was going
back and forth 'cause, 'cause ever
wanted me to play hide and seek with him.
But because our house is small,
we can't play hide and seek.
'cause it's okay, go hide in your
room or go hide in the kitchen.
you know.
So what we now do is
we play hide and seek.
Like we'll have an object and
we'll play hide and seek with that.
And so he really wanted
me to play with him.
And so I was like, okay.
And so like I would come out
when I'm counting and I'm like
watching the game for a little bit
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
one, two.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: exactly.
And then I go back in or whatever.
I see the goal and I'm like, yeah.
And then, I'm like typing legs
up for z I'm like, immediately
I'm not even typing like goal,
I'm just saying legs up, legs up.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: up.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: And then,
we're looking for the thing, and I hid it.
And so he's I need hints.
So I was helping him.
And while I was helping him, I was
like, laying down on the floor doing
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: And
that's the one from like his room, right?
there are
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah,
yeah, it's from the Kitchener,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
but that's the thing.
It's the most innocent,
silly, like air high five.
Like you're just like high fiving
each other, but it's just legs.
I
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: uh,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I don't know.
Eva
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
know where it came from.
She just goes legs
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: she
just bl she just blurted it
out and it kind of took off.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
it did.
But you know what, oh, and then
Jamie, Jamie called her on, who I
feel like everybody knows, texted me
and was like, I'm not on the discord,
but legs up, And then I was like,
I'll put it in the discord for you.
So that kind of thing where now
we have people just, it's about
to be a group text of legs.
It's just called Legs Up.
Like Katie Zelem.
I'm sorry, but I'm also not this is the
silliest thing and I hope you find out
about it and I hope you laugh really hard.
'cause it's really dumb.
we go viral for legs up for
Zelem, I'm, I'm so down.
Maybe Katie Zelem should play
all the time and then we'll
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: up
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: there we go.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
you'll just see legs up in the stadium.
Like it's gonna happen.
Shit on Friday,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
That's, that's gonna be hilarious.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Friday.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: That's
if she scores on Friday and someone
posts a legs up in the stadium,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
someone, hello?
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I'll,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I will a hundred percent do it.
Eva will do it like.
Rio sits right in front of me.
I will make her do it.
Richie sits to my right.
He's gonna get incorporated
in this sorry guys.
Yeah.
But then as me Morgan comes in, scores
again in the 89th minute then in stoppage.
So here's the thing, I was gonna
talk about this later and I can't.
I can't, I can't.
I like cannot talk about it later.
I have to talk about it right now.
'cause I'm so excited.
We talk so much in the discord
collectively as like a fan base.
who is the person that's gonna
come in and get shit done?
Who is the person that's gonna
put the game on their back
and say, I don't give a shit.
I'm winning this game right now.
Vera's mom, sorry, I'm saying shit a lot.
But it this week deserves it.
Besties, like we have our answer.
It is Ri Tiernan.
Because here's the thing that happened.
Christen Press is in the game
for longer than four seconds.
It's a miracle.
that's already like a big deal.
'cause she's that she can be that person.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
But on that corner,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
We're running outta time too.
We're like.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
it's eight, eight minutes
in a stoppage time.
like something ridiculous.
We're going deep in this
game because it's ridiculous.
VR challenges was, was so much.
We, the corner comes in,
Christen puts her head on.
Christen doesn't put her head on the ball.
That is not a Christen Press thing.
not that person to be like, oh, bink, she
got her, she, she like speared the ball.
I can't even, I don't understand
how you, how you do a header
because I don't understand soccer.
Like I don't, my body does not
understand how to play soccer mentally.
I get it physically.
That's why I didn't play.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: She, she did,
she did a smart thing where she didn't try
in the traditional sense of a header.
She didn't try to direct
the ball into the goal.
What she was trying to do is
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: it
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: this,
this basically, this ball was short.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Mm-hmm.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
This ball was short.
It should have gone a little bit further.
I.
into the actual box, but it was short.
So as she like dove in, what she was
doing is trying to get the top of her
head so that it would kind of keep, so
that she just insisted it to keep going
and, and that's exactly what we needed.
'cause it just because started
playing pinball in there.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah, it started playing pinball.
Landed at Riley Turin's
feet, who apparently, likes
to be where the ball falls.
This is not the first time she's
had a, a soccer ball fall at her
feet, and just b, right in the goal,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
90th minute plus eight.
So essentially, we're over a hundred
minutes into this game because there
was stoppage in the first half.
Riley Tiernan said, no, we're
not walking away a draw.
Screw this shit.
I'm winning the game.
And that's what happened.
And everybody screamed.
then everybody screamed some more.
And then the game felt
like 300 years later.
Finally effing ended.
And then we won.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
And then we won and then, but.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
and then just before, as Cassandra
called him in the Discord, ESLE slay
Sam lady got a red
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: He,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
like 20 yards.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: he
ran, he ran onto the freaking
field and was like, f Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
And 'cause
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
fucking right.
Which it was.
And it was great.
If, you know, what if I, if I'm
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: the,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
card, it's gonna be for
some shit like that.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: that's, I
mean, if, if anything I will give, I
will give the, the, the props to like
good red card, good red card to get
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
absolutely.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
sometimes you need a technical foul.
Sometimes you need the red card.
Sometimes you need something to
kind of really, what's the word?
Fire up your team.
They were already fired up, but like this,
the congratulatory fired up from your
coach interim or not, doesn't matter.
It's just oh, thank God
we did it's a relief
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
win.
This one is a big relief
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: And,
and with that, with the brace from
Tiernan, she is now officially
by the, at the end of the week.
We thought that maybe, maybe that since
we had one of the early games, that,
you know, something would happen during
the week and she would get bumped down.
But she is now officially second
place in the Golden Boot Race.
She is at five Goals.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Mm-hmm.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Esther
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Aire
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Aire from,
from, Gotham is in first place with seven.
so a tune in's there.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
season like
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: That's a
rookie of the year season right now.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
She's having a rookie of the year season
and like to be behind a stair is insane.
'cause Esther's having a bonker
season, like she's terrifying.
She's already scary to begin with.
Like she's just scary.
Good.
But this season I'm like, please, no.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah, and I
posted up a couple other stats, with tier
in being on second, with Golden Assist.
We have three players on the list.
I think we have, tier in
Alyssa and, fuller on the list.
So there's, we're doing good things
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: and we're,
we're starting, you know, as, as
much as we keep flip flopping, right?
We, and we're just, we're
going with our emotions.
It's, it happens like
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
this
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: we,
we had a shitty game before.
We had two shitty games before.
But, as we've said through ups
and downs, we have a good team.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yep.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: do.
And.
These are the times where we're
like, look, things are working.
The sauce is working.
let them, let them cook,
let let them keep going.
And you can see where all this magic
can start kind of coming up from.
So with that, our little footy
therapy post match session real quick.
The prompt was just three points.
That's all it was.
It was just three points.
really quickly, a couple of highlights
on some of the things that we got,
max on the Discord said, happy to win.
Not happy that I need to
start taking heart meds.
'cause honestly, I
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
over the last few weeks are
like, I will need medication.
I
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Oh,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
'em.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: part oh,
so, so over the last couple weeks has
been a more, more in the sense of the
stress you're giving me and the, the way
like it fell apart is giving me stress.
This one was, I.
We were so close to getting another one
of those the third week in a row, yet we
rallied and we did not give up and we won.
And we got the full
three points, which like,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
With that, Ethan, our high cooking
came in with high peak, low Valley
when an ending outstanding way
to bro way to crowd the box.
'cause that's really the
way we got that last goal.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
And honestly, that's how we've
gotten the majority of the
goal, the game against, Houston.
We were crowding the box all over the
place and that's how we were scoring.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
That's how we are getting a
lot of our goals, and maybe
we should do that more often.
I don't know.
It's just an idea.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
like
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Seems I,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
in basketball.
You rebound, a second chance shot.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
all right.
And Joe came in with, how
do I feel about the win?
Ecstatic just shows that we can
show up and take on the big three,
that all teams are afraid of KC
Washington and Orlando And Win.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yep.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yes.
Like I said, we're, we're
good, we're good all around.
We just, we're just, you know, tweaking
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
We're just
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: once we
figure, figuring, figuring it out.
So, on, on ig, we got Cassandra to quote
Sam, fuck yeah, that's fucking right.
And then, yes, he also gave me,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
they, they posted a picture of him on
the pitch, like getting the red card
and the picture is him like levitating.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: he's
like inches off the ground.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
He's easily six inches off the ground.
Like
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Oh, that's great.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
need to make subs earlier and I'm
not gonna forgive him for that, but
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: no, there's
still things that Sam needs to fucking
improve, but I mean, moves that he
made in this one in reaction to him
getting backlash of a bunch of stuff.
Like it's, it's, look, there's a
reason why and it's starting to
work when you made those moves.
Let's keep learning.
Yesi feel so good that it's finally us
coming out on top at the last minute,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yep.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: not
us losing it in the last minute.
Liz and Sam.
Oh, my heart came of the year.
Question mark.
and then Elise just
sent three clap emojis.
That's, that's all.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
a three clap.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Eric, from
the, dash dispatch was just, wow.
I mean, last, last week.
It was like he did not expect that, right?
He didn't expect the
loss the way it happened.
And this one was just, wow.
and I think that was on top of, I think
that was also because the, the dash ended
up losing and, unfortunately, he's, and
he was also, he's also, a May birthday.
I think his, his birthday's like
May 3rd, like it, it was his, yeah,
it was his birthday too, but he was
just like, well, we fucking lost.
So,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Oh, dang.
OSG.
Happy birthday.
I'll have
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
DM him.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: but yeah.
And then, Trent came in with Yay.
But damn the chaos be chaos saying with
that red card at the end of the match.
And Vero to, and, and this is what
we referenced with Vera's question.
I would like to know how many times Mario
dropped the F bomb and Angela cried.
I did drop the FBO a couple times, but
they had to be very silent because I was
in the house and the kids were playing
around me and I was playing with the kids.
So it was more of that type of,
and last but not least, Aaron said,
that's what I'm talking about.
And whenever I see that phrase now, I can
only hear it as grew from the minions.
Steve Carrell as grew saying.
That's what I'm talking about.
yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Sorry, I haven't seen them.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Oh no.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I, I like them in theory, the sound,
like the voice, it's the same thing
that happens to me with SpongeBob.
I'm just like, I love what you
do and I hate the sound of it,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I, it can't, I'm sorry, everybody.
It's okay if you just disown me right now.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: No,
nah, it's, it's a good property.
It's not a, you know, it's
not beloved, but yeah.
all right.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I, no, is not for me.
That's all I'm gonna say.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: All
right, well, right before we get
into our preview for the next match,
take a quick look at our standings.
Now.
The fact that we're a, you know,
eight, seven weeks in, we are just
at the edge of the playoff spot.
We're in eighth place.
but we had a huge drop last
week, that knocked us down.
We went from like fourth to
ninth or something like that.
So the fact that we are.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
what we did.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
So the fact that we are inching
our way back up is, is perfect.
That's where we wanna be.
so yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
in a three-way tie, I think,
for fifth Place, but the goal
differential has this at eighth.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah, yeah, yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
six place, something like that we're,
it's a three-way tie if you're just
looking at the record, but it's goal
differential that puts us at last.
So
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
if when we win on Friday, and depending
on how the other matches shake out, if
we win by a lot, which would be dope,
we could make up that goal differential
and get back on the positive side
and then move up in the standings.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: It's
just, it's just the one, it's
just a negative one right now.
So that's all it is.
Let's, let's keep it going.
All right.
With that, let's preview the
Utah Royals at BMO Stadium.
What are we talking about?
What are we looking for?
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
So overall, I mentioned it
earlier that we have our answer
of who has that dog in them.
So right now, if you were to take
a chest x-ray of Riley Tiernan,
you're just gonna see pit bulls
like just barking because there is.
Eva has this, every person I know
from New Jersey has this in some way.
It is this level of grit
that I don't understand.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
She is a Jersey girl.
Yes.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
she's so nice, so chill.
But no, some, like her
parents, same thing.
Like the nicest people
in the whole wide world.
And I'm still just there's
something different.
And like people talk all kinds
of shit on New Jersey, New
Jersey talk shit on New Jersey.
it is a blue collar state.
It is rural.
It is industrial.
It is weird.
It's, it's full of immigrants.
It's full, it's such a beautiful
cultural moment in a way that,
it is so encapsulated because
it's so small, such a tiny little
state, in compared to California.
But it's such an interesting place.
And with some friends from Detroit
that people who come from cold weather.
Are different.
Like you're built different
to withstand cold winters.
And like Tiernan, same thing.
Her sister was the same
way, or is the same way.
Her sister's coaching at Rutgers.
Like those, that's a Jersey
family head to toe everywhere.
That's just New Jersey.
And it, it's so cool to see that
come out this way of just no,
I'll put this game on my back.
I'm, I don't care.
I might be a rookie, it doesn't matter.
I'm gonna win this game.
And we needed that so badly.
And it's always a team
effort, you know, no.
And team sport is always a team effort,
but you need those players, like we've
talked ad nauseum about at this point.
I'm so happy it came out.
I'm so happy it showed, like it
was the, the textbook example of
somebody doing that, of just being
like the, at the death, at the end
hour, just being like, absolutely not.
We are not walking away
with only one point.
We're not dropping this game.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah, no,
we, there there was a, there was,
I, I wanna say that in this, I, in
the final minutes of this match,
there was a very clear, there was a
very clear and organized final push.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yes.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: To not lose it.
Right.
in the, in the past two matches where we
lost them, like in, in the 80th minute,
basically there, there was a final push,
but it was a very chaotic final push.
It wasn't, it wasn't organized,
it was it flailing limbs.
It was very much throw
shit at the wall and
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: See
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: let
see what sticks and like just,
just go, just go, go, go, go, go.
And then with everybody going at a
hundred miles an hour, but they're
all running in different directions
that it, like it didn't feel
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
a very cohesive Yeah, I was just
gonna say, this is very cohesive.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
This one.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
was executed.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Exactly.
So this one, although it was a scramble,
especially in that stoppage time,
it felt like we just kept driving
and we kept driving towards that.
Like we were just producing and
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
were
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: making chances.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
of that, of that stoppage time.
but with that, this game against the
Royals, we have to build on that.
And not to say that like discount the
Royals 'cause they're not having a great
season because that's when you lose,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yes,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
this is one of those okay, we
build off this, we know what we did
last game that worked really well.
We know what we didn't do or what
we did that didn't work very well.
Let's build on that.
Let's, let's chop it up, let's dissect it.
Let's put it back together and,
and make it what we need it to be.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
Unfortunately, in the past, our team
has, our team has been known to.
Play to the level of
their opponent, right?
So sometimes when we're playing a better
team, we get a, we get a better team
playing, we play up, but then at times
when we play down, we, we play down.
And then that screws us because we,
we let our guard down way too much.
we need a, we need to do
the, the, the us what was it?
The US versus Thailand?
no mercy.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
gotta keep going.
you can't let that guard down.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Exactly.
And I'm very curious to see how this game
goes because Slay is out with a red card.
He will not be managing the game.
It'll be air.
Ari, I
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Elle,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
her name multiple times.
Completely fine.
Not tonight.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Er, Ari, oh my god.
Er Shaw, who's one of our assistant
coaches most likely at the helm.
So I'm curious how she's gonna
manage the game, manage the
team, how our subs are gonna go.
That's what
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
curious about, is like, how are we
going to, to manage subs, who's gonna
get more, plenty of time, like I'm
just sitting here, like can't wait.
So I'm very excited for Friday.
I do expect us to win and
I'm very excited about that.
So please don't, please
don't let me be wrong.
It's still kind of my
birthday, so it going.
But when it comes to players
to watch, there's three that I
wanna talk about for the Royals.
we have Mandy McGlynn, who was
formerly known as Mandy Hot.
There was last name change.
So that's it.
But she's a national team
in the keeper pool there.
She's a fantastic keeper.
I think I wrote keeper like
eight times in our notes.
I just looked at it.
It was like, keeper, keeper, keeper.
she's very good also,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Those are her notes about her.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah, keeper, sorry if you
can hear my dishwasher again.
I forgot to wait until
after we record that.
I just heard it like gurgling.
but no, Mandy McGlynn is a
fantastic keeper, so she's
going to give us a hard time.
Like I don't expect every shot to go in,
even if it's on target kind of thing.
Like she's gonna stop some balls.
She's, she's intimidating.
She knows how to show
up to games like this.
They don't intimidate her.
So I'm curious how we match up to that.
How we, how we like take
it apart and dissect it.
That's the word.
we're not recording on a Monday,
but it feels like it 'cause
I've been up for so many hours.
I woke up at 4 45 for no
reason and I'm upset about it.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah, I'd be upset.
I'm upset for you.
Don't wake up at that time.
That's just.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I know it's so stupid.
the next player is Paige
Monaghan, who's team captain.
She's incredibly steady on the pitch.
I really, really enjoy watching her.
I have for the last few seasons, this
is her fifth season in the league.
She's got 11 goals over her career.
She had been drafted by Sky Blue slash
Gotham, so she's played, she was in
Louisville before this, she is good.
She's just solid.
She will score, she will move the ball.
She will pull the defense away from
other people to get the ball to them.
Like she's very, she, she's just solid.
I think that's what people forget.
Like when you have players like
Alyssa Thompson or people who are
really flashy, who like Ali Centner,
who I'm gonna talk about right now,
you forget about the players who are
just solidly so good because they
just kind of fly under the radar.
Same thing for defenders
like De Defenders.
When a defender is very good at
their job, they don't get the credit
they deserve because it looks easy.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Same thing with, with a forward
senior, the midfielder, if they
don't, if it feels like they're not
doing anything, it's because either
it, I should, let me rephrase that.
If it feels like they're not
doing anything and you're not
pissed off, it's because they're
really good at what they do.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Take note.
Refs.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Again, I don't want, if I'm a referee,
I don't want people to know my name
unless they know me personally.
I do have, I do know one of the
referees in the league, so I'm just
not telling you who, because nobody
should come after this person because
they're very wonderful and lovely and
I've known them for a very long time.
We went to college together,
so, that's that about Paige.
She's great.
she's a threat regardless.
Another one who a lot of people are
gonna recognize the name is Ally Centner.
She was the last first
draft pick in 2024, so.
She came into the league
good North Carolina.
She came from college soccer royalty,
essentially like North Car, like
Tar Hale Soccer is a big deal.
And it was real like, not
gonna lie, the la the draft.
'cause even I were able to
go, 'cause it was in Anaheim.
Like it was so much fun.
It was so cool.
been to other professional Women's
league drafts and it's like you're in a
conference room and it's like the number
one pick goes to and you're like, woo.
Because it's like you just walk up
on a rickety stage and it's okay.
But I mean, there were fancy lights
and everybody was dressed and
it was like very high pressure.
Like it was very cool.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Was that the last one?
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
last draft.
So she was a contender for Rookie
of the year, but nobody was going
to outdo Croy even with her injury.
So, I.
She's gotten the call up
for the national team.
She's played, you know, she's multiple
caps for the national team already.
She's incredibly fun to watch,
incredibly good goal score.
She's very crafty with the ball and
she's very patient for someone so young.
So, yeah, and like most importantly,
she's from Hanson Mass, so she's got like
newest connections that's a big deal.
She's also a asshole
and that that's ano, that's a
different kind of gritty that,
that, like Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey.
That's different.
That is so different.
So those are, sorry, I'm like
really fidgety right now.
I can't get comfortable.
those are my three players from Utah.
We have threats, threats among us
as well as a really good keeper.
pay
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Okay.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
They're good.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Okay.
So I, I'm gonna let you go on this, but
like I, instead of our traditional of
you know, let's talk about one to three
players and usually for Angel City we
get to our list and we're getting to
a point of the season two, where we've
talked about a lot of the players,
especially a lot of the starting 11.
which miraculously we've had a
somewhat consistent starting 11.
It was pretty much starting shocking.
So we get to a point also where we're
like, okay, are we like, just kind of
rehashing a bunch of stuff, but I get to
the notes here and it's freaking long,
so I didn't even bother to read them yet.
So go ahead.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
So this is, I was thinking about it
and I was talking to Eva about it.
I'm like, who do I talk about?
She's you have to talk about Riley.
I'm like, right, but I did last
week, like in detail, you know, we
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
recently.
We talked about this,
we talked about that.
She's what if you do like a check-in?
Just, how's everybody doing?
How, how are we feeling?
How are we grooving?
How are we vibing?
And I'm like, yes,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yes.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
let's just talk about vibes.
There's so much to talk about.
I'm gonna kind of, Mario, just so
you know, I'm gonna jump around
in my notes 'cause I'm gonna,
I just was like brain dumping.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
You you go for it.
I'll try to pop in.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
So first off, I'm so excited
that June is in training.
Like June's back with the team.
She's taking contact, she's
playing like on the ball.
She's with the team.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Maddie
just asked me, Maddie just asked
me yesterday, or not yesterday, on,
Friday when we were watching the game.
she's is is June?
Wait Friday, Saturday, Friday?
whenever the game was.
she's is is June playing?
And I'm like, oh no.
She's is June on the field?
I'm like, no, no, she's not.
And I have to explain the whole
injury thing too, but like she's been
waiting for June to come back, so,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: You
gotta show her the pictures on Instagram.
She's, she's getting close.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
close.
So that's like such a good morale booster
too when you know like another threat,
like another goal score is coming back.
It's oh hell yeah.
Sid is back with the team more.
I don't know if she's fully into training
yet, but I think the, I think the end is
near her, her leave, which is gonna be
very exciting based on the BFFR episodes.
She's doing a lot better.
She had a, a moment with
friends and realized she had to
kind of figure some shit out.
And she has, and the thing about SLA roof,
for those of you who are newer to the
league, that when Sid is out and Sid Mayo
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Me?
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
hand, like that's me.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
When Sid is out for any reason,
injury kids having, having
her kids like anything, when
Sid Larou returns get ready.
Like in our intro, we have, I'm, I'm
already getting teared in our intro.
You have her return to, to the game
goal after almost not being able to
play a game because of her foot injury
that nobody really knew how bad it was
and everybody talks shit and whatever.
But that's, that Kap is
running without pain.
And if you've never experienced that,
it's wonderful.
And it's terrifying at the same
time because you're like, I've
existed with pain for so long, I
don't know what this fee like, I
don't know what normal feels like.
So amazing.
Also, Ali Riley, thank you for
blasting our fricking Thompson time
sticker everywhere on the internet.
Your angel.
I like legit tears are like streaming
down my face 'cause I'm trying to be cool.
that's annoying.
Whatever.
I love this team.
I, I.
just have a lot of respect for
players who are coming back
from any level for of adversity
because it's incredibly difficult.
yeah.
So that's players I'm incredibly
excited about because they're
getting two feet closer to the
game again, and it's so important.
starting with our defense for real,
this time Savvy and Sarah Gorden,
like Savvy King and Sarah Gorden
are gelling so much that people are
getting them confused and it's great.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
they run similarly, like it's very clear
that they are multi-sport athletes for
people with very athletic backgrounds.
Like myself, like Sarah Gorden runs
the way a hurdler runs, makes sense
because she was a 400 hurdler.
Like she runs the way kids run.
King runs the way a track kid runs.
there's so much.
Similarities between the two of them.
And I'm, I'm just excited and like
hairstyles are gonna flip flop all season.
Everybody's gonna be like, who is that?
And it's, it's just
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: If, if the,
if that's the one way I can rack it,
you know, especially if I'm not wearing
my glasses watching the game, like the
hairstyle's, like the main way I can tell
them apart, you know, with the camera
being so far away and like you have
little players on the screen, and then
if they're gonna be switching stuff up,
I'm like, you're just gonna confuse me.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
No, but that's, that's super fun.
I mean, Giselle, like we
know is super fun to watch.
She's tearing it up fre That's not what
I wanted to say, but it makes sense.
So that's cool.
It looks like Maria is starting
to get her feet under her as well.
There was a few rocky starts, or
not starts, but subs and moments.
And this last game though, it
actually felt like she was, she felt
a lot more comfortable in the game.
So I think the NWSL adjustment is
like that shift is starting to happen.
So it's oh, okay, okay, okay.
Like I'm settling in.
I understand the game a little bit better.
So I think we will only see
improvement from her from here on out.
And since I started crying,
now my nose is running.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I thought
you said Maria for a second, and I was
like, first I thought you named M.A.
but then Maria's not her
name, so I'm like, who?
Oh, Mariah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Mariah, Maria.
Mariah,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: right?
Yeah, but I
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
at our, team media
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Pronunciation.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
because Mariah, let's go with that.
Anyway, you know who I'm talking about.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yes.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
M.A.
is coming into form because as
somebody pointed out in the Discord,
she has not played this much
consistently in the last three years.
She was hurt the first season.
She got hurt at the end of last season.
there's been disruptions in her
playing time for a variety of reasons.
So I.
Now it's holy crap, I'm healthy.
Holy crap, I can play this long.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Oh shit.
and that's a different mental adjustment,
but she's really getting into stride
and you're seeing her kind of shake
off the rest in different places.
I think too, there's a lot more,
what's the word I'm looking for?
There's a lot more freedom
for our defenders the way
there hasn't been like, and
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
there's a lot more freedom.
They're, they're, they're, they're
granted the space to, to move.
They're granted the, they're, they're
granted the, the, yeah, the, the
ability to move around and not be
in such a static defender position.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Like straight line across the defense.
Like you're seeing M.A.
and Giselle fly up the sides.
You're seeing savvy fly up like.
If they get the ball and
they can run, they run.
If they need to move it
forward, they move it forward.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I think
they're finding really good ways, they're
finding really good ways to like, kind
of do this, rotate this kind of rolling,
position and, and awareness of each other.
And I think that's what's, you
know, when you have a consistent
lineup, that's what you get.
You can, you can get players to start
having that freedom of mobility to say
Hey, I see, I see this play opening up.
I'm moving up forward.
Okay, I saw you moving up forward.
I'm gonna move back.
you know, and
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
push pull once you know somebody that
well and seeing so the way like Savvy
and Sarah have connected, savvy, and M.A.
are doing the same.
it's really fun to see
that connection as well.
And then like Angelina, everybody knows
I love Angelina like big Ang to Big Ang.
She deserves a clean sheet
and I really hope we get it.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yes, maybe
this weekend, may, maybe on Friday.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
But then, okay, so our midfield,
I'm just gonna come out and say it.
Katie Zem guys.
She should start IDK if you
know that she's really good.
But she
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
we've had two games with goals.
It's almost like she knows
what she's doing then.
She's not new to the sport.
But that's just me being a tad bit snarky.
I have the feeling she'll
start, I hope Anyway.
I only say this too because like I've
said, Macy Hodge is still doing the
College to Pro adjustment, that's fine.
I have nothing against her.
I'm excited to see more of
her as the season goes on.
But while we're riding this high,
I think we need to lean on our
vets a little bit more to kind of
like that stability and secure that
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: A foundation.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
build the foundation
that we've begged for.
As a fan base and probably as
a team the last few seasons
like, this is what we need.
Katie is fun to watch.
She's energetic, she's If we
wanna get really big words
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Ooh.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
it, like she just is a joy to watch play.
Same thing with Alana Kennedy.
She's just so steady in the midfield.
yes, she's a center back, but she's moved.
She like, she plays either center
back or defensive midfielder for
Australia and now for us as well.
She, her role has kind of
changed to more of a defensive
midfielder than the center back.
I think it's great because one,
her height lends a huge advantage
to us in the midfield because
we don't have height otherwise.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
that's really what we saw
change when she got hurt.
A couple games ago and she had to come out
'cause she got banged in the eye again.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: When, when
she came out, the game shifted a lot.
There was, oh one, the, the subs were
not strategic enough, but she was a huge
missing piece that that didn't get filled.
And so it very clearly showed how.
How crucial, she is to, to that, to
that midfield and, and yeah, having
the height, I mean, just overall in
general, the, you know, the, the, the
height in the NWSL is kind of like, you
know, there's there's a kind of baseline
average and then you see the few like
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: and stuff,
and she's one of those where it's
just anytime we can get someone with
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
yeah.
But, and she's just fun to watch.
she's so.
I keep saying it, but she's so steady,
she's so calm without being like a drag.
It's a, it's a steady
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Zen, she's very zen.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Ooh, okay.
Yes.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
It's, it's a positive calmness.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yes, exactly.
It's not oh, she's just chilling.
Like she doesn't have the
drive or the fire, the energy.
It's there.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: It's there.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
well directed.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Mm-hmm.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
chaotic, but I really, I really feel like
our midfield is kind of coming into it.
Kennedy Fuller showed up this
season and she was different,
like in the like we already knew
she was different last season,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
like to
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
she built, she built upon,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
just balling out when she got
the opportunity to come in this
season, start play a whole bunch
of minutes and be authoritative.
Yeah.
but yeah, with Kennedy like maturing and
really coming into her own this season,
like even the, the post-game pressors
in interviews that she's done, it's oh,
she, she is grown, she's wise beyond
her years, and that's evident both on
and off the pitch it's really cool.
I'm excited to see more from Macy
Hodge, from Defor and from Casey Phair
because I feel like those three are
gonna be game changers for us later
in the season as legs get tired.
As, you know, matchups
change and you know, the.
The lineup you start with isn't always
the lineup you finish with because
injuries or matchups, you know, like
other teams matchups change and you have
to kind of play around with things there.
But I'm genuinely excited to
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I mean,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
midfield, stabilize what?
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I mean
it's essentially Like a play, like
you're gonna have understudies.
And the understudies are there to
be like, look, I know this position.
I'm gonna pop in for you, when, when
needed, and it's gonna be seamless.
And I know all the lines.
I know all the moves.
let's go.
I can, I can be a part of this machine.
And that's essentially what we need
is, is when we start talking about
like this, building up the depth and
things like that, is really, that's
what we want, is we want to be able
to, have players swap in and out
in the most seamless way possible.
unfortunately at the moment when changes
have been made really inopportune times,
or when more moves than are necessary have
been made, things start to fall apart.
but I think.
Having them build into their skillset
and having them build into basically
those understudies, it, it's for lack of
a, of an analogy, but, of a better one.
But having them build into that role
and be able to say like, all right,
let's swap you in and become these
super subs when it comes to the forwards
or become, other rocks in the defense
or thing, you know, in the defense
and in the midfield and things like
that, that can really hold it down.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Yeah.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: think
we're just gonna get that much
better as we kind of go on.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I agree.
And then you bring in
Christen Press, who like.
I don't feel like we even need
to talk about, because it's
Christen Fricking press and you
should know exactly who she is.
But for those of you who don't,
Christen Press is terrifying when it
comes to her zen nature, if you will,
her presence on the pitch, her ability
to score to strike and shoot the ball
stride so you don't see a lead up.
Like we talked about this a lot, I think
it was last season after she came back and
everybody's what are you talking about?
We had to find videos
and all kinds of stuff.
But when she is running in stride with
the ball, you do not know when she is
like caulking her leg back to score
because she's doing it in stride.
So at any point she could
just bink, kick the ball in or
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
the goal or pass the ball.
She's so fluid in the way she
runs, in the way she plays.
She's just, she's just
Christen Press like that's it.
She's.
She's great, and more people
should see her play this season.
And I hope we get to see a lot.
I, I hope we get a lot of CPE
playing time on the pitch on Friday.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
I, yeah, I mean, hopefully I.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
reason not to.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah, no.
There is no reason not to.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
no reason not to.
I, there's a lot going on.
A lot, a lot of people are talking
a lot of things now, and I don't
wanna add to you know, I don't need
to add fuel to the fire right now.
Everybody wants Christen
on the, on the pitch.
I almost said Christen on the press.
We, everybody wants to see her
play, so yeah, the, the more
she's in the better chance we
are to score or we have to score.
So let's do it.
Why not?
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
And then you have the Thompsons, like
I said, Giselle's coming in her own.
Alyssa is showing the maturity that
she's gained over the last couple years.
Ugh.
They're just fun to watch.
Plus I have so much energy
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
Ri tune in insane.
She's just fun to watch.
She's so dynamic.
There's a few things I wanna
like reel back in, like maybe
don't body check somebody for no
reason, but like girl, I get it.
I get it.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
realize what your body's doing what until
it's done and then you're like, shit.
But
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: And then
there, there, there's, there's a
couple of those that were like,
she realizes what she was doing.
Yeah, yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
but overall I think we're in a really good
place to stay and play off contention to
stay in the top half of the standings.
if we keep building on the way
we've been playing, there's no
reason why we aren't making the
playoffs in the top top half of that
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah.
Yeah.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
city or bust.
Guys.
Let's, let's, let's go.
But I'm curious if we're gonna
see Lily Nabet more of Madison
Hammond, Elizabeth Eddy.
There's a few people on the bench of,
would like to know some things about.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: clearly
Eddie June, I think they were all,
they all traveled 'cause there was
a picture of them in the stands.
so at least they're like, you
know, usually when you're injured.
You, you, you don't travel with the team.
'cause again, I, you're injured,
you don't need to be on planes like,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712: You
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
you know, aggravating.
Yeah.
but they were there, so there was like
a full team there beyond, like Ally.
Yeah, Ali Ally was at home, but
beyond that, you know, the, the team
was traveling and so like that bodes
well as to like where they're at.
Hopefully, hopefully we do
get them in, a bit, you know,
eventually in, in this season.
And we get to see them sooner rather
than later so we can start jelling
them and getting them into the fold.
And again, getting them,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
end up seeing them Friday depending
on how the game goes, because.
If there is a time, and granted the NWSL
is different 'cause it's just the most
chaotic thing in the whole wide world.
But
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712:
and it's an, it's gonna be an
after dark game 'cause Yeah.
I.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
After dark has been
like after, after dark.
Like it's after hours,
even more so this season.
But I think if we play well and if we
do what everybody's hoping we're gonna
do, is a chance you're gonna see some
faces we haven't seen for a while, given
that that's how you, that's when you get
people minutes and you get the rest off
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
up like four.
Nothing.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: I,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
saying it's an option and we can do it.
And I've seen it done before.
So
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: yeah,
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
anything's a possibility guys.
But facing up against Utah,
we have played them once,
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: twice.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
We played them last season.
I was like, what?
I can't read.
So we beat them Once.
We tied once, let's beat them again.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's just, let's keep that
nice little zero on the L.
So I think we're, we're good.
so with all of that being said, I think
we have a lot to look forward for.
Especially with this last game and
carrying this momentum into the next game.
It's gonna be exciting.
It's gonna be fun.
I'm gonna be watching
from home, on this one.
You will be in stadium, right?
So let's, let's go.
alegna--her-shey-_1_05-06-2025_215712:
on me and I should not be in a line
for an hour and a half, so come say hi.
mario_1_05-06-2025_215712: Yeah.
Yeah.
so with that being said, just
to recap, we have our match this
Friday, May 9th against the Utah
Royals at home at BMO Stadium.
