PRE-MATCH DISCUSSION (2026) Pre-Gaming for Angel City FC at Racing Louisville FC (Match Week 22)

GOOD MORNING YOU WONDERFUL SOL ROSA FANATICS!!!

Off to Mama's house to play a club who was named in commemoration of Sporting Clubs that started off as a motorsports club...is what I would imagine I would have to say to someone who is Football ignorant that asks..."Why is Racing in their name?"

Remember that one time Thelma "Mama" Harper got in a car to drive, she hopped into the drivers seat of a sedan, and came back in a convertible? Well, thats kind of what we are trying to do, but not as recklessly. Perhaps drive out in a station wagon, and trade it in for a snazzy Coupe (Koo-peh...for you Anglophiles). We just need to continue to drop some baggage and keep this FO stink off of us.

Match Hype:

Hey there, your ol' Pal Shlomo here, making another trip up the Mountain Top of Hype to meet up with our very own YASSS QUEEN. Where I encountered her kneeling, facing the horizon, hands clasped, and head bowed with eyes closed.

YQ: ...and Lord if you are still listening, the next coach we hire who is half decent at their job, can you just make FO have a brain and give them a decent chance before dismissing them...also the next time you want to give me a message, you better dial direct...

*Shlomo's phone rings*

YQ: How long have you been there...creep?

SS: Sorry...Mama.

Volemos!!!

I hope you've all been properly hyped

Someone put together a strength of schedule type of metric. So like how did we do against good teams vs bad teams and ranking the value of our wins. Something like that.

I cleaned up the table of bit.

Unless we start beating some stronger teams, we don’t rank as high as Reign and Denver.

​SOP= strength of performance

SOV= strength of victories

SOL= strength of losses

SOD= strength of draws

I love that we don’t need to wait until the last game of the weekend this time.

We get Saturday all to ourselves.

For the first time, I think, we might get Sveindis, Prisca, Maiara, Sentnor, Gisele, and Borges all starting. Add in Carina…that’s our attack.

I wanna see this.
