angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Jane sat on that ball.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
It's a chicken egg, the thing.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Mm hmm.
Hi everyone, and welcome to Casual
FC, an Angel City preview pod.
I'm your host, Angela Morales,
with my ever hydrated, not in
pain co host, Mario Salazar.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Well, you know, I'm not the one that
went through going to the dentist today
and been numb like half the day, so
I know the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, good thing we're recording
later than normal tonight, because
I have the feeling back in my face.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Angela was mentioning that if we
had recorded earlier a lot of that
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
It
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
would've been slurred, so You're welcome.
Listeners,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
been Cashflow FC.
Alright, so this is our very
first dual match preview.
We have two matches this week.
We were gonna split it up
into two different episodes,
but that got really dicey.
So here it is.
Our very next match will be Wednesday,
June 19th, Angel City versus
Racing Louisville at BMO at 7 p.
m.
Broadcast wise, Oi.
We're gonna be on CBS Sports
Network and Ballet Sports.
So if you're an Angels fan, I
guess you can, you know what
station Ballet Sports is.
I don't.
my team has their own network, but
I have big feelings against the
Angels and Angel Stadium right now
because of something that happened
at Angel Stadium a few weeks ago.
If you want to know, just DM us.
I just don't.
Need to say it out loud.
I'll get really mad.
but if you want to listen to the game
because you don't have CBS Sports Network,
make sure you tune into iHeartRadio, look
up the, oops, not the Casual FC station,
the Angel City, we are, but look up the
Angel City FC station so that you can
listen to Isaac and Tracy call the game.
And then, On Saturday, we have
another match against Bay FC up
north in San Jose at PayPal Park.
Again, that game's going to be on at 7 p.
m.
Pacific.
We'll be streaming on ION as part
of the Saturday doubleheader.
And obviously, pull up iHeart, Isaac
and Tracy, listen to the homies.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
it's a big week.
We have a lot going on.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: If
you are traveling to Bay, if you're
traveling up to San Jose, let us know.
We'd love to live vicariously
through everyone who's going
up there, making the trip.
On
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Totally.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
this year's schedule, when it
came out, I thought looked great.
I was like, yes, weekend matches, a
few weekday matches, that's all right.
We can make it work.
And then life throws a curveball.
We're like, None of
these dates have worked.
I'm
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, we were really trying to
go to San Diego and Bay and with
San Diego matches being on like
Thursdays, like what is that?
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
match was a Thursday.
The one, the next San Diego match.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
It's a Thursday.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
no, it's a weekend.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Are you sure?
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, but it's at 1 p.
m.
It's a Saturday, but it's at 1 p.
m.
at Snappy with no sun, with no shade.
So there's that, and then couldn't go to,
but I think that's also the weekend we
might have a show that we're going to.
sure.
But either way, life has
thrown a curveball at us,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
has been difficult as an adult,
and we can't make it to either of
our California arrival matches.
So, we'll be watching, we'll be
listening, and, if you get to go, then
we want to follow along, and remember to
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Absolutely.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: we will
let everybody else follow along with us.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, and regardless, make
sure you bring your sunscreen.
Because not all stadiums have shade
like BMO, heed the guidance of our
dear friend who found out what it's
like to get sunburned at Sanabee.
So yeah, bring your sun, your
sunscreen, long sleeves, whatever it is.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah,
so we had the benefit of a night game,
but then it was like middle of the week,
which sucked for San And we're going
down to San Diego with the benefit of
a weekend game, yet it's like middle of
the day, which is going to be its own,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Bear.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
through.
But either way, this is
our dual match preview.
We're going to do both of them.
This is going to go out super quickly.
So if there are screw
ups left in this episode,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Rewind.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
just know that I was like
editing this thing at 11 p.
m.
it's all good.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
change in
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
So
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Normally,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
just a little bit.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Chaos Award, but the Chaos Award
just so elegantly flows into some
of the other sections of our pod
that we will save that for later.
we're
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
We know why.
You know why.
If you're listening, if you
watch this weekend, you know why.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
you know why.
okay, so quick roundabout for the scores
around the rest of the NWSL and this
weekend was, it's the Weekend of Ties.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
many.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
so many.
Kansas City tied with Chicago 2 2.
Racing lost to Gotham, 2 0.
And then, Courage tied with Orlando 0 0.
Spirit with the Wave 1 1.
Seattle with Portland 0 0.
And then Bay lost to Utah 1 0.
So there's only two winning
matches out of this weekend.
Everybody else.
Which is, a way, good for us.
that means the, everybody just equally
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
and change.
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
with that being said, yes.
Now, it wasn't a big change.
Now it's our chaos award.
Our chaos award for the week is
going to be goals at the death.
Just, there's many, there's many chaos
awards that we have, but, and we'll get
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Goals at the death.
Chicago to tie, and Utah to win.
They both happened, right at the
end, so Just craziness all around
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
In a, yeah, like in a wild fashion, both.
The Kansas City game.
Kansas City was up 2 0.
Chicago came back and then
tied it in the nth hour.
Utah, same thing.
Just lobbed a goal in and it was wild.
And then, dun.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: what?
NWSL after dark, gonna
do what it's gonna do.
And it
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yup.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I don't care that we're biased.
It was a freaking goal.
It was a freaking goal.
if you don't quite know what we're
talking about, the fact that we were the
evening match on Saturday, which meant
it was late on the East Coast, it was
getting dark here, our match in Houston
should have ended with us winning 1 0.
It did
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
0.
It should have been 2 0.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: 0.
That's
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
feelings.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Okay, so first point.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
A minimum of one to zero.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
a minimum of what's there.
First point, Jane Campbell straight
up chicken egged that thing.
ball
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
She sat on the ball.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
sat on the, you know what?
And the thing is that, I was listening
to our good friends over on Noodle Time
on Foxtrot TV, the guys that we did a
quick little preview with for the Houston
Dash match on their channel, and he even
mentioned the fact that Jane Campbell,
reason, likes to play behind the line.
She's always
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
the line.
And I will say, granted that
first deflection off of her knee.
From one angle it looked like it went
in, from the other angle it didn't, and
that's fine, but then the bounce back,
the ricochet back into the goal, and
the fact that she sat on it, she had
to use her feet to tuck it under her
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Tuck it.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
that far back, her knees were on
the line, so if it, if she needed
to use her feet tuck it back under,
that was in, that was a goal.
So don't give me this BS, it wasn't.
Conclusive in
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
you know how
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
And they're saying it's because there was,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
long legs.
Come on
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
they're saying it's because there's
no goal line technology, but they
had enough camera angles to show
us three different ones on TV.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: And
Post game the commentators
were talking about there might
have been a handball there
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: what
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Call something.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
the freaking VAR.
that's the whole point.
it took that long.
That's my big, we've talked about this.
It's my big gripe with VAR
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
it takes too long, right?
It takes too
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
And it's not used when it should be.
Like this.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yes.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
even went up to the head
referee and was like,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: it
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
The A.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: bit.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
R.!
They were screaming.
I have something of note to say about
that referee later, but we'll get there.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: on,
you can hear that it's a big decision.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
they're talking into your ear and be like,
we're reviewing it, give us more time.
Okay, if they took that long to review
it, it means they needed to try to
make it, they couldn't make it a clear
and honest decision not, what's the
word that they want, that they use?
Clear and obvious.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
obvious, I think.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Okay.
It wasn't a clear and
obvious error that they made.
It was or wasn't a goal.
They spent that long
reviewing it back and forth.
At that point, you go, if it, if that's
my big grip, if it takes that long
for you to decide in the VAR booth,
okay, yeah, no, I really wasn't.
It's because you weren't sure.
So give the center, ref, the
benefit of the doubt to be
like, go check it yourself.
Go recheck it.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
we're not sure.
and, It annoys me that it's not
how it's, that's how it should
be implemented is that they are
essentially a second pair of eyes.
I don't care that they're
referees themselves.
Like
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Right.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
the head VAR referee and the assistant
referee, not part of the game.
You're also VAR ing from a booth for some
other match earlier that, like you're
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: air
conditioned space, it doesn't matter.
So your opinion shouldn't matter.
Your opinion should be like,
I can't confirm or deny,
so you go check it again.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: let
them check it and then they can, there's
been times where ref, where a ref will
go to a VAR, Igloo, to the Yeti box.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeti box.
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: And
they'll peek in, they'll take one replay
and be like, not my decision stands.
Fine.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
At least go through the motions.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: at
that point, you've gone through the
motions and with the rules now that they
have to announce what they reviewed,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yes!
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: right?
Now you can let everybody
know what's going on.
So the whole thing about announcing
it has been, was to inform the
fans what's taking so long.
But if you take that long and
then you don't announce anything,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yup.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
what the hell?
Ah, okay.
I've
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I'm with you.
100%.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
And scene.
Okay.
And then you had something to say.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
No, I completely agree.
oh no, that's for later.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
that's for later.
okay.
Oh,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
It's funny.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: okay.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah.
Yeah,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
With all of that being
said, result ended up 0 0.
We tied with Houston.
Who
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
how was the watch party?
Also, if anybody was there at High
Tops, let us know how it went.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, I hope it was fun.
I hope it was a blast.
Usually the energy, there's a very
different energy of me watching this
game on the couch and getting mad
to watching it with the crowd and
being hyped up and you probably were
mad, but you still had a fun time.
So
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: it was.
But Who scored officially?
No, not a soul.
Nobody scored.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Nobody.
Nobody.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
have been.
eh,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
So the match itself, boring.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
was a weird, scrambly match where
it felt like both teams were making
scrambled eggs in the midfield.
Neither team had a great offensive
showing and neither team had
a great defensive showing.
It was just there.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I guess it was fine.
But like you said, NWSL after
dark is going to do what it does.
It's a hashtag.
It's a
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
a coined phrase now.
it's a thing.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
group.
it's everything.
It's its own vibe.
It should have its own,
Instagram account or something.
It probably does at some point,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: It's
funny too because like I'm thinking
about like on the MLS side there's games
that go technically like really late
so you can classify them as like MLS
after dark for most of the time it's
because the East Coast watching times
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
right?
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
it's not quite thing
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
It's not quite as chaotic.
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
quite as chaotic, but it's not quite
like a thing like, where this has
become like a hashtag and become
like the running joke of what it
is, but it's because stuff happens
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
and it's
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
And, the game was frantic on every end.
We earn a penalty and then miss the PK.
I have so many questions.
I feel like Jane gave her tactic away,
Claire, to, she showed which way she
was gonna go and then we, for some
reason, kicked it directly at her.
I,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: look.
It felt like it was a soft kick from
the like video from the angle it
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
felt like it was like miss kicked or
like her foot was just slightly off
like it there was no power behind it
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
right, yeah.
Everything felt like it
was going in slow motion.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah but
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: we
had I will say that we had a lot of good
we had a lot of big chances,
more big chances than Houston.
Houston really were more playing
on, on, on the back foot.
if, did say that this game was a boring
match, but like when you dig into it,
there was a bit of, we were playing and
gelling a little bit better than the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Now, was it?
we want or what we expected
or what we've been hoping for?
Not exactly, but we were playing
better than the other team.
We had some big, I jumped out, that M.
A.
header,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Oh,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
jumped out of my seat
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
did I.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I thought that was in,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I was at a friend's house
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
thought it was in,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
we scared her dog.
Eva and I think, Floated, levitated,
another friend who was there was did the
mom seatbelt, like human seatbelt, when
you got a slam on the brakes thing to me.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: arm
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
on my left side.
Yeah, she's on my left, slams her
hand into me, Eva's Oh my God,
our other friend and her wife
were like, the dog starts barking.
Yeah, it was a moment.
I need an M.
A.
goal to revive my spirit.
Yeah.
that was the match.
That's it.
And, alright, we posted on Instagram,
what were your thoughts about
the game, and how much was it in?
Here we go.
Max, our friend, super
friend, said, yes, very.
And that's it.
Just very in.
Nicholas said, one, watching missed
opportunities over and over is not
fun, which I completely agree with.
And two, Over 9, 000 percent in.
yeah.
Natalie said, so in, with
three exclamation points.
said, it was in, with
seven exclamation points.
Dustin said, we look too slow.
A lot of pass receptions
are like molasses.
And then, it was totally a goal.
Same thing.
felt like this match was played in sludge.
Everything felt,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
there was a
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Like a step behind.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
there was a little bit of
slowness that was happening.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
Abby said, it was in twice.
there's enough ease to
give it another syllable.
Deaf all the way the second time.
Shay sent three mind explosion emojis.
And Myrna said, in!
With five exclamation points.
It was behind Jane.
Just,
yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
consensus
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: here.
It's Alma came in with one.
We need to do better
in the attack, period.
Just all caps, period.
Two, Jane sat on the ball, so that was in.
When it was in.
It's in.
Ethan said, second half with subs, and
into the third half with all the stoppage
time that we had, team was kicking.
that's when we started
picking up gear, I think.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: then,
unimaginably in, with the mind, head
explosion, mind blown, and then, the
monkey, see no evil, Eyes, eyes wide shut.
No, that's a whole different thing.
No, not that thing.
Melanie came in with, it was
in, but for real, we still
didn't really deserve a win.
We have to play in all caps.
We have to play to win.
so we feel you, Melanie.
It's
a win here would have been nice.
It wouldn't have been the way it
would have been one of those were
like, oh, an ugly win is a win,
it's not like we said that there was
beautiful football being played or
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Right.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
it would have been a scrappy win,
No, scrappy is like a good thing.
It would have just been a meh,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Funky win.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
But it didn't happen.
So Aaron came in with one.
went in.
And two, it went in.
on both counts, Hywin came
in with can we appeal?
red cards are appealed.
Good lord.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Agreed.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I wonder, can, I've seen
responses from pro referees.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
they can ask.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
They can ask, but all they've done,
they've admitted a couple of errors,
or we know that there was an error
in this match resulting in blah
blah blah, but then nothing happens.
It's not like, I guess it's
one of those things where we
just want the apology at this
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Right.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: We
just want you to say you were wrong.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I wanna see, going back over the
last Two seasons plus this year,
how many goals we've had called
back or negated in some way?
I think it's five or six.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah,
there was a point where we felt like the
referees were definitely against reason.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: that
can, Our own bias, but that's fine.
That's what we're here for.
We're here to root on our team.
Vince went in, in.
And Ethan wrapping it all up
with subs in the final minutes.
Oh wait, he, oh, he sent it twice.
See, he's so good.
He sent it twice.
Subs in the final minutes.
Team started to mesh and unimaginably in.
he sent it twice.
I'm going to read it twice.
So there you go.
So with that, our standings look, we are
heading into this crazy week, which I
mentioned last week, and we're talking
about it again, we're such short rest
between matches, we have three matches in
a week, just had our match on Saturday.
Then I have the match on Wednesday.
And then again, on Saturday all of
this, we're still in 11th place with
12 points, everybody pretty much tied.
So everybody just.
I don't know exactly how Utah fared,
but they were already at the bottom,
so I don't think it really mattered.
we are where we are.
We're still only three points
from the playoff line, and
we still have a game in hand.
like we've been saying,
although this was a tie, you
can, in the optimistic view,
you can say it was a result.
We got a point.
A point is better than nothing.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
A result is a result.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: yes.
So if we want to turn this ship around,
if we want to turn that frown upside down,
we got a point.
And we didn't drop in the standings,
that's a good thing at this point.
And there we go.
Still only three points from the playoff
line, we still have a game in hand.
And with that Let's talk these next
two matches that are coming up.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, so that game in hand
will disappear after this week.
We get caught up.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
is this the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
This is, I think this
is the catch up week.
And so we basically, I feel
like we have to win from here
on out as it is, but yeah.
With all the travel,
going from Houston to L.
A.
to San Jose, luckily there's roughly
a week of being at home, and San Jose
is a lot closer and less humid most
of the time than Houston, so fingers
crossed, the girls will be alright,
we've got great trainers, great rehab
facilities, They'll be top notch.
Mario put in here, does
hotshot help jet lag?
No.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: I
will, it'll probably wake you up, right?
if you're all, roggy and, out of whack,
just take a hot shot and be like, perk
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
What's up?
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
time is it?
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
The, the biggest thing that I'm
really worried about is are we
falling behind the rest of the league?
There have been A lot of really
big international heavy hitters
signing to different teams.
At the beginning of this
season, Orlando was just there.
And now they have Barbara Bonda,
like they've signed three more
players that are just insane.
Kansas City has not the best defense,
but they have fantastic scoring ability.
Like you can't outscore them.
And that's the issue, that's their,
strength right now, so I'm just really
curious, especially because of the
trade deadline and the fact that we're
just sitting with a couple empty roster
spots, what is happening with that?
I'm really hoping we find out
soon, because, the girls need help.
In some way, whether it's another
defender, which would be helpful,
someone in the midfield, an attacking
forward that's just gonna, run
through a defense, I don't know.
In some ways, I feel like we're
starting to just fall behind.
Because, even Houston picked
up a Brazilian player.
That's my big worry or major
question mark right now is
what are we doing to catch up?
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
there's,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
that.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: we've
always talked about the league being
really one of the top leagues
in the world for women's ball.
And yes, it kind of defaults back to
the English League being like, oh yeah,
they're catching up or they're the new
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Right.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
because it's oh, English Premier
League, that's just what it is.
Like they're top flight football.
But I don't know.
I think if you, I think if we did like
a tournament, we, our, I think the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
top teams would fare well.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah,
it would be a really, it actually
would be a pretty awesome tournament.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
It'd be great.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: but
I don't feel like they're above and
beyond us, but have caught up, right?
And that's the main
storyline, even with the U.
S.
Women's National Team is that a lot of
the rest of the world has caught up.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
there are really strong teams
with really strong players.
yes, some of those international
players play here in the NWSL.
A lot of them don't.
of them play in their, own leagues.
And then a lot of them still play in the
English league or wherever it may be.
So are we falling behind in that sense?
And look, we are the team with the money.
And, it's the, it's the same kind
of talking point when it comes to,
a lot of the MLS teams, too, is,
like, when you're trying to bring
in those big name players, when, for
example, when Messi came in, where did
everybody think Messi was gonna go?
It was either gonna be, he was
either gonna land in Miami He
was going to land at LAFC or LA
Galaxy, being here in Los Angeles.
Or he was going to, land in New York,
Like, all the big, metropolitan areas,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Right.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
maybe Chicago or something.
you're thinking of where is he going
to land and be comfortable, right?
Is he going to go to Kansas City?
I don't know, right?
Is he gonna go to Salt Lake City?
Probably not.
And it's the same thing here.
we've got that same benefit
of come play with us.
We're in LA.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
the whole, that's part, let's not
sugarcoat it, that's part of the draw
Angel City is that we are the LA team.
We have the glitz and glamour.
We have the celebrities
at the matches, right?
It's a
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Come help make us great.
That's all I want.
That's all any of us want.
We pack the stadium.
We pack the house.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
we need to see that on the field.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
Thank you.
Because I couldn't figure
out how to say that.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
We just need to see it on the field.
I will point out that, we have
a new listener who commented on
our last, episode our last post,
so thank you for that, so Laleh
kinda had an interesting point.
I have a theory regarding your
comments about wanting last
season's Becky Tweed back.
I seem to recall her and Daniel Ball often
talking and strategizing during games.
Is it possible that his presence and
input is what's missing this season?
They were both assistant
coaches that worked closely
together at Gotham, I wonder.
Yeah,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I don't understand.
Yeah.
There's a big question mark there for
me, and maybe it was just contractually.
He was like, I need to go back to the UK.
I know he had some family
stuff happening, but.
Bro, what happened?
And I say bro as in, Gender neutral, bro.
friends, what?
Yeah.
Genuinely, I have been wondering
about this since, Game 3.
Is that what it was?
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah, because when someone asks me
what's going on with the team and I'm
like, hasn't been lights out the way
it was last year, to figure that out
because 80 percent of the team is here.
they changed a couple of pieces,
which were some big pieces.
And Yes, granted, that's going
to change the dynamics, but,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
be that much.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: yeah,
okay, this is, we still got a whole half
season to go, we'll probably be talking,
hopefully we're not talking about all of
this come the next half of the season,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: it,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Late August.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: yeah,
But we'll just leave it at that for now.
let's go over the players to watch
on the, over these next two matches.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Okay.
So we're going to start with
racing since we see them first.
I want to first talk about Taylor Flint,
who you may remember from our episode with
M Woods because that's Taylor Korniak.
No one knew she even got
married in the off season.
She is number 26, a midfielder.
She's six feet tall, which is rare.
To have somebody that tall on the
pitch in general in women's soccer, but
especially in the midfield, she is a
freaking machine when it comes to getting
her head on the ball, especially during
set pieces, in battles for the ball.
she's just great.
the trade from San Diego to Louisville
was really interesting because I
believe it was free agency and No
one realized it happened because
everybody was like, who's Taylor Flynn?
but she's always a threat.
If she's on the pitch,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
See that?
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
will dispossess you or score on you.
She's just fantastic.
the second player is Carson Pickett.
And she's a, Fantastic defender.
She, we've talked about her on the
show last season, but she, for those
who don't know, she is the first
player to be a professional soccer
player with a limb differential.
She is missing the lower half, like the
hand on, I believe it's her left arm.
And She's just fantastic.
She is so connected to the community.
Kids with limb differentials
are seeing her as an example.
She loves to step into that role for them.
She's also been called for
two handballs on that hand.
we verified this on Saturday.
But, when the referee made a
egregious call of something, Eva
looked at the TV at our friend's
house and went, that's the guy that
called a handball on Carson Pickett!
And I was like, no, we full on
pulled it up because our friends
didn't know that happened.
This was her first handball.
The second one happened last
season, recently, and Just bonkers.
But yeah, our referee,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
repost that one.
I
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
talked about it and you sent it to me.
I don't know if we ever did
post it, but I'll repost it.
it
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
it's a big piece of NWSL lore,
truly, because it's one of those
where you're like, okay, first
of all, she didn't touch it.
Second of all, what would
she have touched it with?
what would
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
she even makes like the gesture or the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
She goes, I don't have a hand.
You can see her say it.
It's so good.
And she just walks away exasperated.
The other really quick rewind I wanted
to put for our chaos award this weekend
was Katie Stengel's yellow card.
She's running down the pitch, runs
real close to everyone's favorite
referee, Danielle Chesky, who, as she's
running up, blows the whistle loudly.
Katie jumps, like is startled,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
freaks out, looks at her,
homegirl pulls a yellow.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: What?
For
jumping, or?
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yep, for being upset and frightened
that she got a whistle blown in her ear.
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: That's
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
NWSL was NWSL ing this weekend.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Look,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I wish you guys could see his face.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
geez, okay.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, but back to Carson, back to Taylor.
Racing is fantastic.
This isn't even going into
how deep their roster is.
They're a great team this season.
They're holding steady.
It's gonna be a hell of a matchup.
That's for sure.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I'm, I don't know how we're
going to match up with them.
I'm curious.
Very curious.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: this
is our first meeting against Racing,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
this season.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
and they will be the midpoint,
basically We, they will be the end of
the first half of the season for us,
and then we get into The second half
starting with bay A, FC, which would
be the second time we play bay A FC.
just to recap real quick, Carson,
Pickett will be number 16 as a
defender, and Taylor Flint will
be number 26 as a midfielder.
Although I still go back to the idea
that M had about the nuptials kit.
that's, that should be a thing.
okay.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I agree.
for Bay FC, we have, I'm gonna
start with Caprice Didasco.
She was on my fantasy team last
year and got us a bazillion points.
But, She is a prolific defender.
She started in the league in
Oh, I just blanked on
how to, read my notes.
In 2015.
So she's coming into her 10th season.
She's already eclipsed 100 caps.
She's eclipsed 10, 000 minutes.
In 2021, she was part of the best 11
with Midge Purse and Caelan Sheridan.
she's no slouch.
She's one of the best
defenders in the league.
And she flies under the radar.
Because she's just
She's consistently good.
And the way Sarah Gorden flies
under the radar, she really doesn't.
But, the way it's easy to overlook
defenders, that's what happens to Caprice.
Because, oh, they just do their job.
But, There's so much
that goes into that job.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
tracking people, you're tracking the
ball, you're tracking each other.
There's just so much.
Caprice is fantastic.
She had been in the USA football
programs, but left after an injury
and just focused on the NWSL.
But, like I said, no slouch on defense,
absolutely fantastic, and a stalwart
for her team, for the league, all that.
And then, Rachel Kundanonji.
Big heavy sigh, because
she's not on my team.
she was a transfer from Madrid
to the NWSL, and she plays
international soccer for Zambia.
She's the first, I believe she's
the first Zambian player to score.
I don't remember.
If not the first, the second in the NWSL.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
She's,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
but yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
seeing her and Asasat on the pitch
at the same time is infuriating.
Because again, they're not on my team.
I have nothing bad to say.
about these players, because
my only frustration is that
we have to play against them.
They're just fantastic, and Zambia
is another, federation that is
causing some shit for their team,
their women's team, specifically.
there's so much
unnecessary garbage.
That female soccer
players have to deal with.
We talked about this last
year during the World Cup.
I talked about it like every episode.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, unfortunately, it's something that
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
Yeah.
But these women deserve so much
more than they're given by their
federations, the US included, and
we are the ones leading the pack.
We give so much to the men's
team here in the States.
And when's the last time they won?
Anything?
I'll talk shit.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
no, even, I will say that even with
the results that the men's friendlies
where they lost one, which was like,
embarrassing, and then they held
their own on the second one, it was
still like, That, too little too late,
everybody's calling at this point, and
I was listening to the Kooligans and
even they were just like, look, when was
the last major thing the men have won?
It's yes, we've beat up on Mexico
the last couple of tournaments
and we've won trophies, but they
are the only team we have beat,
we're only good against our own,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Right.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: league.
so right now or, with them going to.
Copa America, right now with the U.
S.
men's team playing down there, it's
a test of what do you guys got?
Cause guys default into the next world,
World Cup, like you don't have to qualify.
You're just
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: So,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
We'll see.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
us your, yeah.
I will proudly wear The Women's
National Team badge with the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
He's my crest has four stars.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
The real crest has four stars.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Truly, though.
Alright, for Bay FC on Saturday, make
sure to watch out for Rachel Kundanjanji.
She is number 904 word.
Her hair changes colors, so I
don't know what color it's going
to be, otherwise I would tell you.
And then Caprice Didasco,
number three on defense.
And here we go, Angel City.
I got my life together and I didn't,
I made sure I wasn't going to
like wallow like I did last week.
I just, I'm sad and I'm frustrated
and I want the best for this team.
I feel like the best friend right
now that's girl, what are you doing?
We need to have a heart to heart,
a come to Jesus moment, something
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: think
everybody's at that point right now.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
of we're going to sit down
and have this conversation.
I have to say some really hard things.
But it's like what Christian said
of that, where's the accountability?
And I'm like, here, I carry the torch.
I'm the accountability if you will.
Here we go.
I feel like The majority of our team is
injured right now in some way or another.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Hansar
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
that's a problem.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
think I'm just gonna trademark
it of like triage lineup.
that should be like the starting
11 or the triage starting 11.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah, honestly, all right.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: that's
what Cedars Sinai should be sponsoring.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
We've got corner kicks and then
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: And the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
like the trainers are sponsored.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: All
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
break sponsored by triage
nurses from Cedars Sinai.
But, that's how we're livin
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
we got two players back.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yes.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
We've been waiting
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
And they are two of our
family favorites over here.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
the first is THE Sarah Gorden.
Number 11, centerback
to lead all centerbacks.
She was a dual collegiate athlete,
and it shows in the way she runs,
if you have followed track at all.
Any point in her life, DePaul
was smart to allow her to do
that, it's only made her better.
She built her name in the league
while in Chicago, built herself up
from almost a walk on kind of role.
Garbage minutes, not much playing time,
just starting, to becoming a captain,
to being one of the women in the league.
To be the face of the league.
To put some of this on her back
and just say, this is ours now.
That kind of thing.
she had her son while in college.
I could talk for hours on Sarah Gordon.
I'll just cry.
I'm already tearing up
because it's just a lot.
we love Sarah Gordon and I'm so glad she's
back because I'm The team needs her, our
fan base needs her, Pride Month needs
her, I don't know, everything needs her.
Sarah Gorden will be the
best defender in your face.
We know she, if she gets tackled at all.
Or falls on the ground or gets
a call against her and she gets
mad and she flips her hair.
Good luck to you.
That's one of those, on the field pitch,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: The
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
or, yeah, on the pitch tics that
she's ugh, and just locks in.
Okay, and second up is our girl, M.
A.
Vignola.
She's back.
She's questionably back.
Who knows?
She's getting on the pitch at some
point, which is exactly what we need.
she wears number 16, another defender.
She hails from Cincinnati.
She went to the University of
Tennessee and was there playing
alongside the Bunny Shaw from Jamaica.
No big deal.
And that's not even like the most
famous player she played with.
Like M.
A.
Vignola.
M.
A.
is just great and I'm so
glad she's on our team.
She's incredibly fast.
She's incredibly knowledgeable and to
have her and Maddie Curry on the wings
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
is just, oh
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
the speed and the attack that
they have, a reason why M.
A.
has
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
gotten close or has scored.
Wait,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
We were calling her M.
A.
Vignola for a reason.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah, that was last year.
Last year she was scoring, this
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
She was the turning point.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: but
she was the, she, yeah, she was one
of the turning points last year on the
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
pace, on the goals.
yeah, we are so happy she's back.
We're so happy that both of them are back.
both Sarah and Ma were big
losses to, our line cur.
It gave Curry a chance though.
And she did not disappoint.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: So
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
And she just stepped right into it.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
with Sarah down, it gave Curry a good
chance come in, and did not disappoint.
So now, as we were saying, the backline is
not our biggest issue, is not our problem,
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
and to a certain extent, some of our
other positions are not the issue.
That's weird connectingness of it all.
Okay, let's not get negative again.
Okay, we were saying, yes, Sarah, M.
A.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yes.
Yeah, and I'm excited to see
how the backline re emerges.
Because I feel like this
is Angel City backline 4.
0.
We've got Sarah, we've got M.
A., we've got Maddie, we've
got Megan, Jasmyne, like we
have so many good defenders.
So we're in good hands.
And like I'm so excited
for this team's potential.
I just hope they still are too.
that's like the last I'm
going to say on that.
Between these teams, so we
have played racing four times.
We've won one.
Tied twice, we've lost once,
so we're relatively even.
We're just split, so I really feel
like Wednesday could go either way.
I'm really hoping we pull out the
win and every other team loses
so that we get some points back.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: racing
has been doing a bit better than us.
okay, racing is our
playoff line at the moment.
Racing is in eighth place, but they've
been doing, they've been doing okay.
They haven't necessarily been Their goal
differential is actually plus three.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Wow,
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: they,
like it hasn't been, it hasn't been bad.
They've, if I'm looking at FOPMOP
right now and I'm looking at
their last five, they've got,
two wins, two losses and a draw.
So they, they've been pretty consistent.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
yeah.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
they're splitting, but
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
against Bay, You've only played them once.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551:
than Bay.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bay FC, we matched up on
opening day and we lost.
So here's hoping we can go up to San
Jose and even out that scoreline, or
not even out the scoreline, even out
the record between the two teams.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: Yeah.
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
I would like to win by
a large differential.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: yes.
I will say that right now, if we
were to win these next two, we'd most
likely jump up into the playoff spot.
one, if we
angela--chicken-nugget-_1_06-17-2024_212551:
Please.
mr-boombastic_1_06-17-2024_212551: we tie,
racing for that playoff spot, although
they still have us on goal differential.
They have a plus three,
we have a negative six.
there's that, but Bay FC is,
tied with us on points right now.
We're both at 12.
They're behind us in the standings,
really this is, can be a potentially
huge weekend for us, and Bay hasn't
been the best, As it is, the last
five are three losses and two wins,
but overall they're four and nine.
Weirdly, they have not
drawn any match whatsoever.
they've won four, no
draws, and nine losses.
So That's wild, they're actually the
only team that have not drawn a game,
Kansas and Orlando still have not lost
a game, ah, with that being said, we're
at the end of our episode, and just
a quick reminder of where to watch,
we've got a double header coming up.
Wednesday June 19th, we'll be at home at
BMO, Angel City versus Racing Louisville.
It's going to be at 7pm, it's
a Wednesday match, remember
there's going to be traffic.
Although it is Juneteenth, so there
are going to be a lot of people off
of work that day, so if you are off
of work, maybe you can head over.
I believe the team is going to be doing
the street party, so not the full on,
game FanFest type thing, but there's
going to be like, there's still going
to be a couple of, tattoo stations
and food trucks and things like that
before the game, if you have the day
off, cool, and maybe you can make it
to the stadium a little bit earlier.
broadcast, it will be on CBS
Sports Network and Bally Sports,
I don't know exactly where those
channels are, but I think we have
them on our Instagram, either way.
