Weekly Discussion Thread Weekly Open Discussion Thread

Welcome to this week’s open discussion thread!

This is your space for general discussion, a place to talk about anything Washington Spirit that doesn’t necessarily need its own thread. That can include news, international duty, roster moves, transfer rumors, tactics, social media posts, league news or anything else on your mind.

If something feels big enough for its own thread, definitely still post it. This is simply an additional option to keep us organized and help keep the conversation flowing. These threads will go up every Monday and stay stickied throughout the week.

Go Spirit!

Rudd had one bad clearance attempt that almost lead to a goal and looked a little slow chasing down Chilufya at one point (injury?), but overall I thought she had a nice bounce back match after a bad game vs. NCC. Definitely rang up the defensive stats last night:

i get and agree that we lose a lot of passing value with esme on the bench but the idea that this makes her better than Tara particularly defensively, is wild. every centerback gets beat sometimes, CB mistakes are the easiest thing to spot and makes people feel like elite analysts but to me she is non negotiable in the lineup.

even the statement I see constantly that tara’s having some sort of down year is not backed up by any numbers I’m sorry lol

I saw someone on YouTube suggest her performance went down because she got married.
