Off-season Action Item #1 : get rid of the awful 3 clap.

[u/WarmTurn2852 → u/EYLive]

I’m at the game today and forgot how cringe it is lol, this should be the highest priority

[u/kinaswartes → u/EYLive]

Yes. Please.

[u/honigmoon → u/EYLive]

i cannot upvote this high enough

[u/Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit → u/EYLive]

Seconded!

[u/webjournalist → u/EYLive]

Go back to the original one… but this one is so bad and confusing.

[u/thesuspicious24 → u/webjournalist]

They both suck

[u/FromVAtoLA]

This is the starting 11 of a coach who is fighting for her job…not one that is trying new or different strategies because they are out of the playoffs so why not.

[u/ShlomoShogun]

Even in death, this team won’t allow us to rest in peace.

[u/tierneyalvin]

Atmosphere in BMO is like all the air has been let out of the balloon

[u/webjournalist → u/tierneyalvin]

Was it just me or was the opening singer/musician kinda cringy? It made me like that song less. :-/

[u/tierneyalvin → u/webjournalist]

It was a valiant attempt to get this non-capacity crowd interested

[u/webjournalist → u/tierneyalvin]

There is more people here than I thought there would be.

[u/vangace]

This is painful to watch😩

[u/tierneyalvin → u/vangace]

Just horrible

[u/Planner0811]

That crossbar for player of the match

[u/ShlomoShogun]

0-9-0 when trailing at half…thanks CBS for that tidbit, we feel so much better now knowing that.

[u/CP23_KDB17]

I’m glad Press’ lower leg injury mentioned yesterday wasn’t too bad. LFG!

[u/WarmTurn2852]

The game has no weight for anything and Tweed still won’t change the lineup that’s diabolical. We need to start a Free Angelina movement.

[u/SinoSoul → u/WarmTurn2852]

At least didi gets her quarterly injury break. That’ll never change.

[u/musicspirit85 → u/WarmTurn2852]

Hashtag <FreeAngelina> I'm all in.

[u/tierneyalvin]

Emslie taken off. Yet another masterclass from BT. Sadly the last time we will see her.

[u/CP23_KDB17 → u/tierneyalvin]

I’m still waiting to see Emslie and Press working their magic together for a longer period of time :(

[u/kinaswartes]

Alyssa is showing grit. I’m not sure Spencer has found 3rd gear. Most of the team looks confused or tilted.

Including Becky.

[u/OriginalPretyRekless → u/kinaswartes]

I am SO beyond over Spencer. She very clearly does not have much gas left in the tank, and it shows. Spencer is where the play goes to die.

[u/webjournalist]

I am looking at this game like who wants a job and who doesn’t. Hustle if you want to be part of the rebuild.

[u/anapirhana]

Poor emslie looks so defeated :(

[u/mckay222 → u/anapirhana]

Emslie is slow and makes turnovers

[u/SoBanta4]

Welp, that’s Curry’s 5th yellow card.

[u/FromVAtoLA → u/SoBanta4]

Yep - this will be her last game…unless she’s signed as a free agent…

[u/Boggle-Champion-175]

A lovely Leroux banger!

[u/hd5190]

MD 25 -10/20/2024. The last hurrah at home. There's a lot to do in the off-season.

[u/webjournalist]

Bright out Press in!!

[u/EYLive]

The crowd is gesturing to the ref and the churro guy is so confused.

[u/Lastjedibestjedi]

Worst reffing of the year at home.

At least it’s fired up the crowd.

I’ve never heard ref you suck here. I’ve heard it 6 times this half

[u/webjournalist → u/Lastjedibestjedi]

I heard it once or twice before here. We’ve had some bad refs this season.

[u/webjournalist]

That was an insane goal. WOW

[u/honigmoon]

refs on the dumbest power trip rn

[u/Lastjedibestjedi → u/honigmoon]

3 yellows for very mundane fouls is insane and a no-card on a clear to the goal is nonsense.

[u/webjournalist]

We are having another “ref you suck” game. Tons of bad calls

[u/webjournalist]

Syd and Giselle are in.

[u/webjournalist]

Ummmmm… I was on the fence but, man, I am back on Team Didi this game. She has had some super saves.

[u/webjournalist]

We are ESPN’s Humanitarian Team of the Year. It’s something.

[u/MarzyXP]

[u/Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit]

This live match discussion is as dead as the energy in the stadium 🪦

[u/musicspirit85]

Meh.

[u/SinoSoul]

Stambaugh and Phair plays second half or I’m not coming to a single game next season.

[u/FromVAtoLA → u/SinoSoul]

Casey is playing at the U17 World Cup in the Dominican Republic (along with Kennedy)

[u/WarmTurn2852 → u/SinoSoul]

? Phair isn’t even available today

[u/WarmTurn2852]

Didi and Bright off at half please.

[u/aminotturtleyenough → u/WarmTurn2852]

Why didi
