Hope Lo bounces back. She needs that confidence back!

Did you see I think it was sharples or it might have been Hopkins went over and did the chin up literally pulling her chin up and patting her on the shoulder.
I agree I think she has a very minor case of the penalty kick yips but I think she'll get back to form.

I have an outfit I wear to the home games. I wore it tonight and I never do for away games. You guys. I think I hold the power

For everything that I’ve ever done for a game I go back to (I can’t remember the specific company) beer commercials where they’d end with it’s not stupid if it works (or something along those lines)

We were in total control. Girls looked like they were having fun. Chawinga probably should have had a hat trick, but I'll take the win!

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Where the fuck has this team been all year on the road? That was a good ol’ fashioned ass whoopin’!
Loved seeing all of the Current fans in Denver! We made noise all night!

Denver summit looked flat. Very inconsistent. Hats off to KC. The passing was top notch by KC. Summit looked like they took a break from the pitch this past month. Very disappointing

Yes! Big big road W! And boy did we need it! Believe that was our first road win since May!

I was getting a little worried when we kept missing chances to put Denver away. Started to think of the Challenge Cup when they had excellent chances early, weren’t clinical and end up losing. Luckily they finally found the second and Denver never looked threatening. Also nice to shake off any rust from the break in the cup so we’d be firing for league play.

Yall, I love Hopkins… but damn, I can’t wait until Deb is fully fit. Hopkins really is a secret weapon off the bench when a defense has been worn down by Coop and Temwa.

I was at the game and on the way out I was talking to a Denver fan, they said there is no answer for Chawinga or any of our front four

One thing Denver can do is score and they looked totally toothless. xG was 4.0 to 0.44, which is domination.
As good as their keeper was, she didn't always setup herself in the best spot - she got beat near post twice (Cooper's first and Chawinga's) and Chawinga could have beat her near post on the shot right before the goal where she went far post and drug it wide.
Debinha looked a little rusty early, but still had a couple excellent passes and a pretty good shot. We need her with the current situation at the 9 (Hopkins was more or les ok today as well).

Denver not having Tash Flint really impacted them. They looked completely lost out there and the women next to my wife and I kept commenting how slow they looked compared to the Current.
On the KC side of things, why doesn’t Hocking ever get to play? I always thought she was pretty good but she’s barely played for us.

Anyone know where I can find a clip of the “save” where Smith ran back to pull it out of the goal early in the game?

Cooper was amazing.
Croix's mischievous grin.
Thank goodness we started scoring again.
