The White House Correspondents dinner that was not for the president but just the White House itself? 🤣

The vision for ACFC seems to finally be taking shape. The structure from the last two matches plays to the team’s strengths. Hina and Nealy help greatly to make it all work. Jun is amazing. Glad to see some positive signs as the season comes to a close.

I really like overloading one side with this formation, it allows the 1-2 touch passing that it requires to be successful but it plays to Giselle's strengths. Open space for her to bomb forward with and w/o the ball. #acfc #volemos #woso #nwsl

ACFC came into this afternoon’s match needing a win. They put in a good shift and took all three points. Keeping this late season momentum alive will be the key to keeping any hope of the 2025 playoffs alive.

Jun Endo with the cheeky touch and Maiara Niehues with a breakaway finish to seal it for Angel City! 💨

Wendy and Eddie were the last two I’d expected for something like this!!!

Maybe Straus can feel semi-okay about himself? 🤣 Granted this is just one comp but hey! It’s not all sunshine and rainbows for Bayern!

tbf I think they have started having those conversations; they’ve already gutted the midfield and they’re rebuilding the plane as it’s flying. Gotta keep up the strong signings in the offseason though; drive competition so players are fighting for their starting spots come next spring.

My reaction to Eldest Daughter was “THIS is a track 5???” disturbing to say the least

That Chelsea performance did not spark joy, but Catarina Macario played a great game!

Some flowers for MA Vignola. One of my favorite ACFC players. A look ahead for Hina Sugita. One of my favorite Thorns.

Definitely a bit concerning for a player that has had touch and go durability

Vignola is one of the players that I fell in love with the quickest at Angel City, and I’ll miss her. However, I think this is the exact kind of midfield pickup ACFC needs to achieve their desired style of play.

A true legend of the sport is hanging up her boots at the end of the 2025 season. Safe to say she will go down not just as an #AngelCityFC club legend, but as a legend of women’s soccer as a whole.

I do my best to wax poetic about her illustrious career.

Angel City defender, pillar of New Zealand’s national team & TWG friend Ali Riley has announced her retirement. From WPS rookie of the year to captaining her national team to their first ever World Cup match win, she has witnessed the historic rise of women’s soccer firsthand 🫶

Angel City came up short in their must-win game against Racing Louisville to avoid making the rest of their season must-win games. Tough schedule ahead with a bit of a skeleton crew right now. Hopeful for continued small gains along the way.

Shout out to @sammymewy.bsky.social & @beckysauerbrunn.bsky.social for taking some time on Good Vibes FC to call out the fact that Angel City owner Bob Iger is also head of Disney/brief Kimmel pre-empter Bob Iger.

Easy thing to dodge, glad they tackled it.

These Euro bodies have always been wack. Not any less disappointing, but they’ve always had it twisted.
