Eventually, #NWSLAfterDark comes for us all [Spirits v. Angel City Review]
Annie, Ella & André review the wild seven (7!) goal thriller at Audi. Unfortunately, the #NWSLAfterDark didn't fall in the Spirit's favor as they lost to a last minute goal.We discuss defensive struggles, feeling the pain of player absences, and why the Spirit's new formation is feeding into the hands of NWSL teams who go vroom.Despite the result, it was a wild night with a lot of positives to discuss as well. We get into Esme Morgan doing it for Biscuit, Rose Kouassi being a terror who will upgrade to full menace as soon as she starts scoring, and the gift that is Gift Monday's football IQ.Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review.
