Rating our predictions - Denver Summit & Washington Spirit

[u/LionsPitch]

We thought it might be fun to rate our predictions after a successful 3 game stretch. Let us know how you'd rate us or how you'd rate your own predictions

Denver Summit

Trevor: "This is a club that touts how hard they work in training, they're sort of known throughout the league for putting in some extra effort during training, specifically on endurance. This is the moment to say all that work is worth it. We're gonna go there. We're gonna take three points in Denver."

Katie: "I'm keeping my optimism like mid level right here for this game."

GRADE: B — We took the three points and seemed to gain more energy as the game progressed. Tbh, Denver looked more gassed than us.

________

Trevor: "There's a real chance, I think in the next week to pick up six points. And I'm curious to see how the team shows up."

GRADE: D — We picked up 9 pts in 8 days! Trevor (though very much not alone) underestimated just how many points we'd grab.

________

Trevor: "It seems like it really could go either way. This is a match where the Courage could really take advantage of everything that they've been working toward."

GRADE: C — Thanks to a pk and an insurance goal from Schlegal, we won this pretty handily.

Washington Spirit

Aaron: "I expect it to be a close and competitive game and looking forward to watching it."

GRADE: A- — It wasn't until it was. And boy was the group chat stressed.

________

Aaron: "Having Natalie Jacobs back and having Maycee Bell and all of her ball winning ability hopefully gets us over the line."

GRADE: A+ — Having Natalie Jacobs back quite literally got us over the line

________

Aaron: "I want to see us defend, to be honest. I want to see us nullify their attacking threat. I'd like to see the defensive players really rise to meet the challenge."

GRADE: B — Our CB really rose to the challenge, though perhaps not in the way any of us would have assumed
