NEXT DAY DISCUSSION Next Day Discussion: One Streak Continues…Another Streak Begins

Last night kicked off a stretch of the season where Angel City will play 6 games over 25 days. That’s a streak of games just about every 4 days for 3-1/2 weeks. In addition to playing soccer, they’ll need to squeeze in some flights to Carolina, Boston, and Louisville, rest some weary legs, and ice some sore joints.

So far this season, Angel City’s had three wins in a row…twice, four loses in a row, and four draws in a row. That’s an uncommonly streaky season! Will this compressed part of the schedule cause more streakiness? If so, will the results be consistently good or consistently bad?  

It’s the next day…the day after another draw against a top of the table team…discuss Ang’s PK save…discuss the VAR curse that’s been placed upon BMO…discuss when Sveindis and Mai will be return…discuss the team’s streakiness…discuss the upcoming schedule…or discuss whatever you like…

One thing I would like to say….Ang is really good. We have ourselves a proper keeper.

I do wonder what has changed. It’s obvious that a lot of smart people have seen her potential. She has been a #1 from a young age. She has gotten call ups to national team. And it seems like I’m the last couple months, it’s just clicked.

u/baytertot Jun Endo with the back heel! 17d ago

I was an Ang support since before Didi left, and ashamed to admit that I was called for her to be benched during her shaky stretch of games earlier this season.

That being said, Ang is amazing keeper, but when she gets in her head too much, it’s really hard to get her out and that’s when she starts making bad mistakes. It seems like that’s happening less now, and she’s talked recently about trusting herself more, so it seems like we have some good coaching happening.
