WEBVTT - Reign Fall in Washington 2-1: Full Match Broadcast 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:04.680 The following is an exclusive presentation of Seattle Rainsucker on 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.040 Sports Radio nine fifty kJ. 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.920 Welcome back to Rain on the Radio. 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:15.200 We got Seattle Rain FC today against Washington Spirit. This 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.680 is the eighth place team in Seattle and NWSL facing 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.040 off against the fourth place Washington Spirit team. For NWSL 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.639 right now, we're looking at Utah and Portland at the 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.720 top of the table with twenty three points. Seattle is 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.800 at fourteen, and Washington right now working just underneath those 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.680 league leaders here in this thirty game season. Used to 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.760 be twenty six games, but with the new inclusion of 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.600 both Denver and Boston, we're up to thirty games here 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:47.400 in the NWSL season. Washington, by the way, they are 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.480 coming off of a twenty twenty five year where they 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.160 lost the championship game one to nothing. So this is 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.920 a very, very excellent team here in the Washington Spirit. 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:57.520 Let's get to the. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.360 Starting lineup for Laura Harvey's Seattle rain squad. She's got 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.040 Claudia Dickey, of course in goal, who was just called 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.520 up to the United States national team for this upcoming break. 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.640 Madison Curry at your left back spot, Jordan Bug one 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.959 of your center backs, alongside Phebe mclernan. Sophia Houerta of 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.560 course is your right back. She of course now with 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.920 two hundred NWSL regular season starts, fifth player ever to 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.760 get that yet. Has James Turner in the holding midfield 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.640 alongside Ainsley McCammon. You're attacking midfielders Maddie Dollen, Sally Menti 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.600 in the middle, Holly Ward, who was just called up 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.960 to Canada for the World Cup break ahead. She is 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.279 on the right wing with Maddie Mercado up top and Stephanie. 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.080 I do believe that's the exact same lineup as last 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:45.200 week in Boston. 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.240 The exact same lineup, and I love what Laura Harvey 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.000 had to say about it. Actually, she said, you know, 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.200 this might not be our best eleven on paper, but 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.240 it's our best eleven in form right now. They're in 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.320 the proper form and I think that just shows she 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.560 has a lot of confidence. They did exactly what she 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.320 wanted in Boston, so give them a chance to do 0:01:59.320 --> 0:01:59.560 it again. 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.520 Yeah, eas as she was saying there is kind of 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.920 couldn't come up with any way to justify changing the 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.480 starting lineup after that win, So Rainer sticking from there, Meanwhile, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.119 for the Washington Spirit, we just saw them three weeks ago. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.720 They beat Seattle, won nothing at Luminfield in a game 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:19.800 that we talked about. Seattle dominated Washington. So the changes 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.720 for Washington are very limited. They are pretty much staying 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.799 the exact same in the midfield and forward. Sofia Cantore 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.119 is up top at the forward. They have what we're 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.919 gonna call it a four to two three one. They 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.399 listed it as a four to three three. I don't 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.720 think that's right. Cantoria will be up top. Coassi will 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.240 be on one wing. Trinity Rodman will be on another wing. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.960 She's an outstanding player, somebody who committed to Washington State University, 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.919 never actually played, went to the league and has been 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.840 extremely good since. Lacy Santos in the middle of them. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.280 Their holding midfielders will be Hal Hirschfeldt, who was just 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.120 celebrated by the way for fifty games. 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.720 Yeah, appearance fifty for Spirit. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.440 It's an interesting decision to celebrate somebody for hearing in 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.760 fifty games. But okay, Rebecca Bernal is their other holding midfielder. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.200 Then their back four is where they made the changes 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.799 from three weeks ago. Lucia di diguelmo is going to 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.480 be their right back, Gabrielle carl is their left back. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.480 Elizabeth Say and Tara Rudd are their center backs with 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.480 Sandy mc ivor in goal. So Stephanie's we look at 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.919 their team pretty much, outside of only two defensive changes, 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.679 the same team that they brought to Seattle three weeks ago. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.240 Yeah, and I think it's kind of the same thing 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.600 with Laura Harvey' sa. You know, why change it if 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.079 it's working, and they have an incredibly strong front six. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.200 I would say that they really rely on for their 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.600 speed of play, for their aggressiveness, for getting goals, and 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.000 that's not going to change the back line, you know, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.720 I'd say a few changes, probably just because of tired 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.480 legs again two games last week. That's really different and 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:53.440 new for them compared to you know NWSL opponents, including 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:53.760 the Rain. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.119 Well, we're just about to get this game kicked off 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:01.000 at Audy Field in Washington, d C. Washington Spirit hosting 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.720 the Seattle Rain. Also, as we're talking about the Spirit, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.120 by the way, important to note that they have Claudia 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.640 Martinez off the bench. She's the one who scored an 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.440 eighty third minute goal against Seattle and the benches on 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.440 this team, Stephanie. As we're just moments away from getting kickoff, 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.400 Seattle is loaded on the bench. Washington's also very good 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.799 on the bench as well. This will be an interesting 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.560 first half as we look forward to a should be 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.400 packed substitute second half. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.640 Absolutely, I think we're looking at a chess match in 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.120 the first half, to see how each team builds, how 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.080 you know, how are they going to adjust to each other, 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.800 what are they going to give each other? And then 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.120 you and I both were talking about sixty minutes on. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.280 I think it's a new game because of how many 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:40.160 people can go into this. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.159 Well, we are kicked off here at Audi Field in Washington, 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.400 as we are at a long ball up the left 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.719 side from Claudia Dicky and that will go out for 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.720 a throw in for the spirit our referee today Alexandra 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.640 bill Etter on var we have Danielle Chesky as we 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.359 are underway here at Audi Field and Seattle Rain controlling 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.520 in their own end and Claudia Dicky with the ball 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.800 at her feet. And this game right now is as 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.760 a chance, I think, Stephanie, for Seattle Rain to take 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.080 this road trip where they started the road trip with 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.280 a win last week against Boston, a chance to build 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.400 on that and get another w here today to kind 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.400 of say that that five game stress without a goal, 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.919 that is so far in the rearview mirror. 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.240 We are far past. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.640 That, yeah, definitely, especially you know, we didn't talk about 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.320 it earlier, but they're staying out on the East Coast, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.280 so's it's really different for a team to you know, 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.920 not be traveling, especially when they're obviously so far away 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.720 on the East Coast, but instead they're getting used to 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.920 the climate out there. They're getting us to the time zone, 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.239 but they also are away from home, so it's gonna 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.880 take them a bit to kind of get into the game. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.600 And we already have a very very quick injury here 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.240 in just the second minute of this game, and it's 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:56.280 the right back for Washington, Lucia di Gaguelmo, the Italian 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.480 right back who is coming off of a bunch of 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:05.080 trophies with Roma down there in Italy. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:05.920 She's back up. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.479 But for the Seattle Rain that is going to be 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.560 Holly Ward and a bunch of other players. Sophia Aware too, 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.640 who just went in hard there against Gigielmo. That was 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.320 almost like a football esque tackle there from Sophia Aguerta. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.960 Yeah, it looks like her knee ended up going someone 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.200 around her stomach, which not comfortable. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.360 And right now Washington's backlane wasn't comfortable there pressure from 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.080 Maddy Mercado. It has to go back to their goalkeeper 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.560 and their goalkeeper Sandy mckiver, who's played every single minute 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.640 of their ten games so far this year. It's a 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.920 Washington team that right now is going to get pressure 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.919 from a high press here of Seattle. And it's that press, 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.560 I think Stephanie in that Boston game that stood out 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.000 from Seattle. They really made that Boston Legacy team uncomfortable. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.279 As we'll get to that here in a minute. Here 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.200 comes Washington down the right side. Here's Kuwassi trying to 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.279 find Santos in the middle, but done well. There is 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.960 Madison Curry to shuffle that out. It will be a 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.760 goal kick. But it's that press, right saw us work 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.080 so well against Boston. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.679 Absolutely, And you know Laura Harvey loves a good press, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.000 and I think she said it multiple times. She said 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.520 to her team that if she needs to sub early, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.720 she'll sub early, but she wants to see the pace 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.640 and the tone to be set from that front line, 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.760 and she, you know, she talked about how it really 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.760 sets the you know everything for the midfielders and the 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.600 defenders behind those forwards to see them putting pressure on 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.080 that back line, and especially against a team like the 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.000 Washington Spirit, just don't let Rodman Cantorre. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.360 Those players up the field have the ball. How you 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.680 do that? You win it in their end. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.360 The interesting thing too, is a rain get the ball 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:34.760 out of the back of the net. Playing with a 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.640 lot of now press from Washingtons and Laura Harvey was 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.640 talking about how how good Claudia Dickey, who again she's 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.400 the number one goalkeeper for the United States national team. 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.720 She was called up for their upcoming games here during 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.200 the World Cup break. She said that she's phenomenal off 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.680 of crosses, but also she's so good with the ball 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.360 at her feet. She said, she's actually at her best 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.360 when she's facing pressers. So you could almost see the 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.320 strategy right there. As a ball goes out for a 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.280 rain thrown on the far side, you'd almost see that 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:06.840 the rain. The way they were playing out of the 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.680 back stuff, and he almost just was asking, please please 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.640 press Claudia because she's going to be better under the press. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.240 Than if you just give her that time. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.880 Absolutely, Laura, have you said that specifically, she's better with pressure, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.320 So they are. They actually are enticing the spirit to 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:21.920 come and press out. And you know, part of the 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.000 reason why teams do that is because it creates more 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.160 space behind Laura Harvey, doesn't you know, essentially want tons 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.760 of spirit players in the box around Claudia Dicki. But 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.000 what it allows is those players to be composed on 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.520 the ball. As more Washington players get pulled up out 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.960 of position, there's gaps, there's channels behind them, and then 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.040 they can dump it up to Mercado to Dollen and 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.120 they can move out from there. 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:45.079 Seattle rain. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.360 Right now, a long pass down the far end of 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.560 the field is taken away from Washington. 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.920 Now they have the ball in their own half right now. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.680 Just a couple changes from three weeks ago when Washington 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:57.480 came to Seattle. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.079 We're heavily outplayed but still won the game one. 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.080 Nothing there late, and they are just dealing with a 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.200 couple of those small changes. But here's a chance for 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.559 Matti Dolleen trying to win a ball brought down foul 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.000 called Mattie Dolleen an excellent job to come in take 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.920 a loose pass away from Elizabeth Say. That is one 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.720 of those changes that Washington has made, and it costs 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.520 him right there is it's a free kick for Seattle 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:21.839 in a dangerous spot. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.600 Yeah, and Matti Dolleen is the wide forward coming all 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.240 the way across the field to really challenge that central 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.480 center back. You don't always expect that pressure because normally 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.800 the nine would be pressing there. So Say just doesn't 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.800 expect it, and she's able to really get on the ball. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.880 And like Laura Harvey said, Mattie Dollen's the most. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.080 Competitive player I think she said, one of the most 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.480 competitive that she has ever coached. 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.480 You can see it there. She gets the ball, gets 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:43.959 it away from her and then brings in the foul 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:44.880 in a dangerous spot. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.600 A bit of an issue there that I have is 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.360 that for Elizabeth Say, she I was going to say, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.480 the issue is not getting a yellow card because at 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.120 that point she's last person back and you know she 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.960 has no choice, Elizabeth Say does but to drag down 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.000 Mattie Dolleen, who would have been one on one with 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.680 the keeper, and to say, does get the yellow card 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.800 here in the sixth minute. So in early yellow for 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.720 one of their center backs. That is something certainly to monitor. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.840 But here comes the free kick. It will of course 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.680 be Sophia Hoer. It's a standing over it about ten 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.079 yards outside of the Washington box. We will see how 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.280 Sophia where itsa sets this one up. It's gonna be 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.080 swinging towards, but it can't get over that first line 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.120 as Washington's able to clear that away. But Rain will 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.800 hold right near the halfway point. Long ball here, it's 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.960 howeer Itza trying to slip a ball in to that 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.160 far post, but it's cleared away out for a Rain 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.080 throwing here as the clock strike six minutes zero zero 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.679 so far Seattle RAINFC, Washington Spirit. On Sports Radio nine 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.800 to fifty Kjim Jackson, Feltz, Stephanie Verdoya bringing you the 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:50.880 game here on this Saturday afternoon. It's a long throw 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.400 and coming into Mercado. Mercado working with it in the 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.040 corner to Don Lee and that took a touch out 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.280 and it will stay with a Rain throwing here from 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.040 that far in the left. It'll be Madison Curry from 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.640 this throw in throwing about five yards from. 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:06.200 The end line. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.160 It will be a long throw and trying to reach 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.679 Maddie Donaleen. Once again Washington trying to clear it. They can't. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.679 Here's Donleen crossed to the far post is Holly Ward. 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.400 There she is, and this will stay with the rain 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.080 ward working on this right. She cuts it over to 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:23.920 Huerta looking for a cross and excellent defending there by Guguilmo. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.960 That you left back for Washington to get in the 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.240 way of that one, and that will go for a 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.040 washing thrown here from the near side the left as 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.400 they defended that build up by the rain very very well. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.120 Yeah, and we've talked about it a lot in previous games. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.560 The rain love this half space on the width, so 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.520 Huerta and Curry players like that. They love to get 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.080 up and beyond their attackers, so they're actually like the 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.680 highest player on the field. And sometimes that looks odd 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.840 to folks who maybe don't watch a ton of soccer, 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.200 but you really want your outside backs and this type 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.440 of formation to release and create that we call it, 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.720 you know, overload numbers up situation. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.480 Here's an errant pass that Seattle takes away and now 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.959 here they're working up on this left side. Here comes Madison. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:09.880 Curry has Dollen to help. She also has has James 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.680 Turner in the middle, ball up to Mercado, now out wide, 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.080 did Dolleen, Oh, Dleen trying to get to that near post. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:15.680 Run she does. 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.959 She crosses it in and that shot takes not the 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.960 best touch there, but it is Hollywood getting the ball 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.640 there right in front of goal and could just redirect 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.720 it onto the goalkeeper Sandy mckiver. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.960 But not a overly dangerous chance. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.440 But it's once again it's the chances creating, and that 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.400 was a chance created there from Maddie Dolleen on the 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:36.959 left side. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:37.240 Yeah. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.640 Again her competitiveness, you see, she just wants to get 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.720 around her defender. When she's on the ball. She drives 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.560 to the end line and is able to send a 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.520 nice kind of half chipped ball that just holds enough 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.760 for Hollywood to get around it, and unfortunately she didn't 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:49.440 get enough power. 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.400 It ends up going right to. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.840 McIver Washington has right now they're kicking it along the 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.480 back line. It's also interesting, Stephanie, because we were hearing 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.800 from Laura Harvey how something that she really wants out 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.880 of the crossing of this team is you get into 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.000 that prime assist zone, you get into that end line 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.040 crosses and you put it near post. And as we 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.040 have Washington now working up this left side, a great 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.600 job there by Phebe mclernan to kick that out. But 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.480 we've seen now two times in the last about three 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.480 minutes that run towards the end line and cross coming 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.800 towards roughly that near post. Seattle, I think, is going 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.480 to try to go for that. From head coach Laura 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:24.359 Harvey today. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.760 Yeah, I agree, she wants to see it a lot more, 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.880 especially from players like Mercado and Doline and Fischel if 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:29.280 she comes in. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:30.160 She talked about how. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.160 Important it is for them to continue that run because 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.440 if they don't get it, it creates the space behind 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:35.480 them for other players. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.400 And if we are going to focus on scoring. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.360 By crossing and finishing, then what we really need are 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.119 different types of crosses to put good players in those positions. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.240 The other thing, too, is Washington will send a long 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.600 ball up here and Seattle Rain will take this back 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.240 at square, who moves the ball up the field to McCammon. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.480 McCammon still working through the middle here now trying to 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.800 get the ball toward on the right, but it's cut 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.760 away from Washington. They will now bring it out here 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.920 in control Seattle. Here, we're ten minutes into this game, 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.720 and the Rain right now have looked certainly more dangerous 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.880 going forward, just as they did three weeks ago. But 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.800 it also is the Washington Spirit are controlling this along 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.240 they're along their back line. Laura Harvey talked about wanting 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.600 to be more unpredictable, wanting to be more fluid with 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.480 her team. She said that they believe that they saw 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.760 the most fluidity in that game against Washington and in 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.600 the game against Boston. So it's about being unpredictable, finding 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.400 that fluidity that could lead to the offensive success they're 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:30.840 looking for. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.560 Yeah, absolutely, and specifically in her billd out and so 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.560 what she's saying there is she wants when they're in 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.880 their defensive half, when the Rain have the ball coming 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.600 out from Dickey and their back line, can we get 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.480 different midfielders on the ball, different attackers. Can they move 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.320 in different spaces so it's not so predictable because of 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.440 the team Mike Washington Spirit. You do not want Rodman 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.320 picking off a pass at the top of the eighteen. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.280 So how can you make it that they're constantly guessing 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:54.360 what they're going to do next? 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.200 And some air and passes from Washington have the ball 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.240 back at the Rain feed. It's Stephen mclernan, one of 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.000 our lead center backs alongside Jordan Bug who is returned 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.320 to the field. She got her first start against Boston 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.720 last week. I don't think it's any coincidence that she 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.720 gets her first start in the Rain get their first 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:13.880 win in five games. 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:15.600 She's such an important player. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.320 A clearance will not go far enough and it will 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.520 still be washing here on this right side. But a 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.880 great play by Madison Curry to get in the way 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.600 of that pass and send it out for a throw 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.760 in here in the eleventh minute where zero zero is 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.240 so far rain and spirit. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:31.640 Yeah, and they want to be careful there. So the 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.840 rain the pass got picked off. Whereta was trying to 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.520 play kind of a horizontal pass across the field. We 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.880 call them a flat ball, so then it's pretty easy 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.080 to pick up if you're an opposing player coming through, 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:42.840 and that's what happened. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:43.760 It's super dangerous. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.960 So they want to keep aware that they can play 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.000 vertically when they can higher up the field. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.320 Washington could not throw it in advance. They had to 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.400 play negative, and now the ball is once again at 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.080 their back it's Goguelmo on their left back spot trying 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.240 to find a ball forward. Here is Rodman working on 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:06.840 Cuerta and working on mcclernan. Mcclernan hits that out for 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.720 another Washington thrown. You mentioned the name Rodman. I did 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.480 there as well. Trinity Rodman one of the star players 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.960 in this entire league. She became the youngest player about 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.120 a month ago in NWSL history to have thirty goals 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.880 and twenty assists. But since that game against Orlando, which 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.400 was a four to two win, where she had a 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.320 goal and two assists in that game, she has been 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.800 off the score. She she kind of got a minor 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.440 injury in that game against Seattle, and Trindy Rodman has 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.160 not been the same players since that Orlando game. It 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.400 was really in that Seattle game, Stephanie, where Trinity Rodman 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.800 was a little bit erased and the rain did a 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.160 tremendous job to shut down the star talent for Washington. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.760 Yeah, they definitely did. You could see her getting frustrated 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.720 throughout the game. She was kind of throwing her hands up, 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.280 she wasn't getting on the ball. At one point we 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.000 saw her across the field, changed. 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.960 Positions, come all the way back to get. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.200 The ball at her feet. I mean, she was just 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.000 demanding it. She was so frustrated. You know, you kind 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.760 of win when you get a player like that that 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.000 frustrated because it changes their game. She's gonna actually dribble differently, 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:10.200 She's gonna take different chances because she's frustrated. It's something 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.360 she you know, as her development works on show, she'll 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.080 figure out. She's also a really passionate player, very fun 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.119 to watch. But it's great when you can kind of 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:17.720 stifle that. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.040 Yeah, when you have a forward who has to retreat 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.480 to the back line just to get involved and get touches, 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.399 that's a good thing that you're doing there on the 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.280 defensive end. But here is Washington now working up this 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.760 left wing because Rodman has slipped back. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.040 A little bit towards kind of more of a midfield position. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.040 You can already see her working back in that formation 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.159 just to get touches, to get more comfortable to. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:39.800 Get on the ball. 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:44.960 A Trindy Rodman one of the ten international call ups 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:49.920 that the Spirit have during this World Cup break. As 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.399 they now attack off the right, a referee slips and 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.760 falls and the play is advancing now to the left side. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.240 Here is Rodman working on two defenders and great job 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:00.919 of howertz again in the way of that one and 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.560 stop any would be attack for the Spirit and then 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.840 tries to clear a ball and clear right off of 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.240 Trindy Rodman's shoulder neck area. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.200 That's quite a big hit off of Trinity Rodman. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.800 But I think mclernan won't feel bad about that at all. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.600 Now, it's a great play by Howard to actually she 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.760 comes back kind of a backslide tackle to just keep 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.760 that ball from going through the back line. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.720 Almost looked like it went off Trindy Rodmins head there. Yeah, 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.560 that was quite a clearance by mclernan. But Washington will 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.440 take it from there. On end of the field. Sandy 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.400 McIvor their goalkeeper, ball at her foot and they will 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:40.160 now begin this press here with Maddie Dolleen pressing hard 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.560 their goalkeeper and McIver just has to send this long 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.280 ball forward. It's where where it's sending the ball forward, 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.919 trying to reach Holly Ward, but Washington will cut that 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.600 out and the Spirit will take it away trying to 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.359 attack again. But it's this Seattle press right now that 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.520 is getting in the way of any would be Spirit attack. 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:57.160 Yeah. 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.680 The Spirit actually don't look comfortable all swinging the ball 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.120 along their back line right now. 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:06.119 And Sofia Huerta earns a foul she was going up against. 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.760 I believe that was Lacy Santos. Santos brings her down 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.000 on a ball that was popped over the top and 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.479 it will be a free kick for Seattle in their 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:15.399 own end of the field. 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:17.960 And talk more about that, Stephanie. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.040 I think this is one interesting part of this game 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.919 is just watching the uncomfortability of Washington, a team that 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.080 was playing a very similar way three weeks ago when 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.639 they were handily outplayed by Seattle despite winning one nothing. 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:37.560 I expected a fair bit more adjustments, and I haven't 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.040 seen it yet. Seattle is playing a little bit similar 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.719 to the way that they played three weeks ago, and 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.439 now you just want to see that finish that you 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:45.480 didn't get three weeks ago. 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:45.920 Yeah. 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.399 Absolutely, And again I'm not super surprised that there's not 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:50.400 many adjustments from the Spirit. I mean, they're still sitting 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.960 at number four. They still have some very strong players 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.040 who feel really good and comfortable in what they do, 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.040 and they already have been a fluid team. 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.120 Here's you Almo, chance to cross it in. 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:03.160 Not able to even get it past mcclernan, easily taken 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:07.000 away by Seattle, and Huerta jukes out, a defender or 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.880 an attacker sends the ball forward. 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.080 Should be a foul. No foul called on Mercado. 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:13.919 Washington still have it now in the middle of the 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.040 park and they will kind of reset go ahead. 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.200 Yeah, I know, I just and because of that, because 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.640 you know, both teams are fluid in or what they're 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:23.240 working on to be is to be fluid in this 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.439 game and to set something. That's kind of why we 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.680 said the sixty minutes, those last thirty minutes are really 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:28.320 going to tell a lot. 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.159 Ball slipped through here, here's a chance for Cantore in 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.320 the box. Now to Rodman, chance to cut in. Lots 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:39.520 of defending happening. Foul called on Trinity Rodman right outside 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.760 the box. Yellow card given to Holly Ward. This will 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.040 be a free kick for Washington. And what about one 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:50.120 yard outside the penalty box and a dangerous free kick 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.840 coming for the Spirit after that hard tackle on Trindy Rodman. 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.080 What do you think I'm not sure that's a yellow card. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.280 I think it's probably a foul. Rodman does a great 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.640 job to separate from her defender. She takes a big 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.560 touch across her body and then Ward kind of steps 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:03.480 in and collides with her. 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.240 I think it's actually a pretty soft fowl. 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.280 I think it's definitely not a yellow, but unfortunately it 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.080 is in a very dangerous spot. 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.520 And a collision right the collisions worse than the actual 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.840 foul was, where Ward just tries to step in and 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.280 get in the middle of the ball and the player, 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:22.080 and that forced just the overwhelming speed of Trinity Rodman 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.959 there quickly working off of that corner of the box. 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:30.360 And here comes Lacey Santos, the thirty year old Columbian 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:34.400 with a chance. Now there's a two person wall right 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:38.920 in front of Claudia Dicky. Here's Santos over it, and 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.000 she will go for goal and she will put it 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.080 in the back of the net. Lacey Santos with a 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:48.560 free kick from just outside the penalty box. After that foul, 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.320 the yellow card foul by Holly Ward, Santos puts it 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.800 past Claudia Dicky, right in between the wall and the 0:21:55.840 --> 0:22:00.560 group of players, and it's now Washington Spirit one Seattle, 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:02.080 nothing in the eighteenth minute. 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.160 Yeah, and you know it's a well placed ball. 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.159 I think Seattle definitely will want this one back to 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:08.440 try and defend it. 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:09.960 You know, a Dickie and and it. 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.280 Actually just sneaks over the head I think of as 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.679 James Turner there, and so you know, she kind of 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:18.040 curls it around. It's not high, it bounces right in 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.240 front of Dickie. I think Dicky was blocked, couldn't see. 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.439 She dives late, and it sneaks into that back post, 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:26.720 not with a ton of power, but with a lot 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.240 of precision, and she's able to get it through multiple 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:31.960 defenders in that eighteen yard box. 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:33.960 I think it's the height on that ball right above 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.600 has right because I think that Claudia Dicky's watching that 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.879 saying it's going to be headed away, and it's just 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:43.240 it's the height on that that Dicky doesn't see, doesn't 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:45.920 get hit away, and by the time she can react, 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:47.160 it's just a little bit too late. 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:47.480 Yeah. 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:48.840 Again, And I don't want to be that person that 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.080 says anything about the keeper after a goals scored, because 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.159 it's you know, they got the ball down there, that 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.400 it was a good kick by Santos. But I do 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.720 think Dicky that might have been a little too casual. 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.200 Only talked about this with her play before where she 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:01.720 needs to dive there like. 0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:03.280 It's coming through. It's hard. 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.640 There could have been a deflection, but you can't assume 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.000 your player, your defender is going to head that out. 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:08.920 You need to go with the ball. 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:12.160 Oh, Seattle Rain right now down one nothing to Washington 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:15.640 here in the first twenty minutes of this game. And 0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.800 for the Seattle Rain and they went five games a goal. 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:22.919 They scored two at Boston in Rhode Island last week, 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:25.560 and now they will need to score another two if 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:28.119 they want a full three points today. So here we 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:31.240 go with this Rain team and they will have to 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:33.240 put numbers four, They will have to press, They will 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.359 have to pull all the levers and push all the 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:36.440 buttons to. 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:37.640 Get the win here today. 0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.639 But they can do it, especially now that they've kind of, 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.760 as Madison Curry talked about, have this new system under 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.280 head coach Laura Harvey that they're getting more comfortable with. 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:50.119 They took time to adjust, they're back in the system 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.879 right now and you think you can see that it 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:55.320 sort of is again a very goal that was very 0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.000 against the run and play This has been all the 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.720 Rains game for the first eighteen minutes. That goal will 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.640 certainly change some dynamics, but the Rain have been good 0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:05.080 creating chances in the first twenty they have. 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:06.920 And what's hard is it really shifts the momentum. I 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:08.520 think if you're watching the game, you think this is 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.040 the Rains game. You know, the Spirit get this one chance, 0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:12.679 and now all of a sudden it looks like a 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.960 one zero game where you need the energy that Laura 0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:18.359 Harvey talked about. You need the press, you need the 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.120 you know, the organization, the communication to be a team 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:21.760 like the Spirit. 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.480 So the Rain need to play like their tide zero zero. 0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:28.120 There's a ball towards that far post, Maddy Dollen on it. 0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.480 It's just clipped away there from Gabriellecarl and this will 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:33.840 go out if I believe for a corner kick here. 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:35.439 The Rain will have a corner kick here as the 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:38.720 clock strikes twenty and it will go to Sophia Hoyerta, 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:43.200 who will be over this corner. We see Washington head 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:46.400 coach Adrian Gonzalez, the Coach of the Month in April 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:49.199 for this Washington Spirit team that was dominant in the 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.440 month of April. They went into conca caff Action recently 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:55.520 played two games last week, got to win over Pajuca 0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:58.280 and then lost the concor CAF final. The Club America 0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.800 Washington Spirit, one of the best teams in NWSL. Here 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:03.720 comes the corner, goes to the near post for Dolleen, 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:05.879 bounces around still with the rain. Now back out to 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.760 the left. Here swhere to still over it has some help. 0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:12.080 She will cross it again in headed away from Washington. 0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:15.480 Now cleared, but only cleared a little bit. Is still 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:19.000 with Seattle. Here's mcclern or, here's bug on it, bug 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:22.240 clipping a ball in. It's do lean in the penalty box, 0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:25.240 working against the defender, hand raised and will be a 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:29.840 handball there in the box on Seattle. It will go 0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:33.320 now for a Washington free kick from inside their own 0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:34.720 penalty box. 0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:40.680 The referees just holding up play. 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.199 Is a lot of crosses in there, and that's one 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.600 of something that Laura Harvey talked a lot about Stephanie 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.600 is the types of crosses that she wants to see 0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:49.240 from this team. 0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:50.080 And it was. 0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:54.360 Across actually both crosses that led to goals for Seattle 0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:57.280 in Boston. Won a long cross into the box that 0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:00.200 creates a handball, the other one, of course being Curry 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:04.080 to Doleen. But it's those types of crosses that certainly 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:05.479 Laura Harvey wants to see. 0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:07.399 It is, she said, the crosses from the half space. 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:09.440 We talked about that, that's where Queerta likes to live 0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:11.840 a lot and kind you're kind of in that internal 0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.240 channel and you ping it in and hope that folks 0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:15.920 are running in. She said she likes to have four 0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.960 players in the box generally. I think they've been inconsistent 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:20.720 with that at times and getting the numbers in the 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.560 box that they want to. It's definitely where they're looking 0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:25.639 to score most of their goals. And she talked a 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.679 lot about production, production, production in this call, and she 0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:30.520 wants more from her attacking players. 0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.960 Here's the Rain trying to work in the washing penalty box. 0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.440 They're asking for a handball and no call given. Here 0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:38.520 is the Spirit on the counter. Here's Kuassie Kulassie working 0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:40.880 with a couple players. Now here's Rodman all the way 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:42.760 on the left. She is fast and she has space 0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:46.160 into the penalty box. Shot great stop there by Fami 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:49.159 mclernan to get in the way of that Trinity Rodman shot. 0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:52.480 Outstanding recovery there by mclernan to get in the way 0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:55.200 of that one for a fast player in Rodman, and 0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:57.399 what a great service by Guassie as well. 0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:00.439 Absolutely, Cowassi and Robin are some of the fastest players 0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:02.240 on the ball in the league. And then when they're 0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:07.040 matchup together, I mean they covered thirty forty yards so quickly, 0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:09.480 and mclarnan does a great diving save there to block 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:10.600 anything going towards a goal. 0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:14.280 Really good defensive play by mclernan on that counter attack 0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:17.879 by Washington. When Trinity Robin has that much space and 0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.639 the ball at her feet, usually good things happen. And 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.320 that is a testament to the great defensive play that 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:26.720 mclernan just made. But it will stay with Washington here 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:30.119 leading one nothing goal about five minutes ago from Lacy 0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:33.080 Santos on the free kick from about nineteen yards out. 0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.760 Seattle Rain will have to fight back from one nothing 0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:41.040 down in the final sixty plus minutes of this game. 0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.000 Stays with Washington here on this end. Lots of good 0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:47.240 defensive pressure from Seattle, they will earn a foul free 0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.440 kick for the Rain and that counterattack for as much 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:53.719 promise as that had for one minute, will not get 0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.320 anything for the Spirit. Those are the kind of stops 0:27:56.480 --> 0:28:00.000 Seattle Rain absolutely need down one nothing because you cannot 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:03.320 afford to go down too to this Spirit team that 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:06.600 again was just in a Coca CAF final week ago. 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:08.840 And you know what surprised me so far with how 0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:12.160 the Spirit are playing is I mean shouldn't because this 0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:14.400 is who they are, but they are playing very aggressively. 0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:15.680 I mean, I want to say, that's like the fourth 0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:18.760 or fifth foul that we've seen already, and they're going 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.480 into every fifty to fifty and Brain players are kind 0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:22.720 of falling left and right, and that. 0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:25.160 Should have been a sixth foul. Sophia Horitze was brought down. 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:28.120 The attack maintained here on the right side for Washington 0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:30.280 chance for them to cross it and takes a deflection 0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.000 off of Madison Curry and that will be out for 0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:38.440 a Washington Spirit corner kick. And yeah, you can already 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.520 feel that goal has certainly changed the makeup of this game. 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.680 The first eighteen minutes we're all Seattle and now we're 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:47.560 already kind of seeing the dynamic changing and if it's 0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.160 going to be a lot of counter attacks for the Spirit. 0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:52.600 You're really gonna need Bug and mcclernan and Huerta and 0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:57.120 Curry to recover on that defensive end as Seattle will 0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:59.320 push numbers forward. But here comes a corner kick for 0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:02.600 the Washington with Lacy Santos here in the twenty fifth minute, 0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.440 the goal scorer for the Spirit today. There'll be an 0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:09.800 outswinger from the far side the right. She will go short, 0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:13.080 another chance to cross it in back to Santos on 0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:15.880 her left foot, crossing it forward, takes it aflection now 0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:18.760 going to the back stick, still with Washington has good 0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:22.440 pressure there Mercado, but chance to cross for Rodman cuts 0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.840 in now crossing and headed away, good headed from mcclernan. 0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.760 Follow up shot still with Rodman still at the far 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.520 post into the assist zone, crossing it back post, headed 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:34.640 away again from Huerta and now cleared away from Maddie Dollen. 0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.880 A rush of pressure there from Washington. With a few chances. 0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:40.720 Seattle did well with it, but it stays with the 0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:43.160 Spirit now here on this right side. Lit'tle flip over 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.880 into the box asking for handballs, asking for fouls, still 0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:50.720 with Washington back out on this right side once again 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:54.480 looking for some space to cross going up against has 0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:57.560 James Turner Cross comes in, takes it aflection and we 0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:01.120 will see where we get to here as Seattle right 0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:04.080 now will have to deal maybe with another goalkick. 0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.680 Yeah, and that last little bit with Washington Spirit, you 0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.800 can tell the type of team that they are. I 0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:12.200 don't want to call it chaotic, because they are very fluid. 0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:16.000 They're very good at moving together in different spaces. And 0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:18.040 we talked about this the last game. I mean, trittyde 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:22.080 Rodbin crossed the field multiple times, played different positions just 0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.520 trying to find the ball. They have multiple players that 0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:27.240 do that, Cantore Martinez when she comes in, and so 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:30.320 one of the issues is there are so many players 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.120 around the box for the Spirit that feel like they 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.680 could score at any moment, and that is very, very dangerous, 0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:39.040 especially when the rain are trying to get back into 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.880 this game. It's a one zero game. They really need 0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.320 to find that momentum to be able to keep pushing. 0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.080 And when you have, you know, it feels like eight 0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:50.640 to nine players around that eighteen yard box at any moment. 0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:52.960 It is so hard to feel comfortable. 0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:56.200 And they have twenty minutes until this halftime they need 0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:58.520 to find that comfort so they can have confidence for 0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.520 themselves to go forward and create their own chances. 0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:05.360 So here we go, we'll get the updated situation for 0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.240 just a moment. It's a Washington Spirit team right now 0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:13.440 that have not won an NWSL game since since the 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:18.440 Seattle win about three weeks ago. And it's a Washington 0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.920 Spirit team that is coming off of a Conca Caff 0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:26.120 performance where they fell in the final by a score 0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:29.280 of five to three. High scoring game there, but a 0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:32.400 game that a little bit exposed how their defense can 0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:33.520 sometimes be exposed. 0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:34.800 And they made changes the back. 0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:38.360 You still have one of their best players, center back, 0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:40.440 Tara Rudd is their right center back, but their left 0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:43.680 center back now they made a change there. So obviously 0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:46.920 not happy their head coach, Adrian Gonzalez, not happy with 0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:51.600 the defensive performances that they had in that Conca Caff final. 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.920 There's a cross coming in here, Trindy Rodman at the 0:31:57.960 --> 0:31:59.680 back post, and she will not be able to handle 0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:01.760 that one and it will be out for a goalkick 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:03.840 here in the twenty eighth minute. 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.120 Oh and Trinity Rodman at the back post. It's just 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.600 the last thing you want to hear when you're on 0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:11.120 the field and they're doing again a great job. Kuwassi 0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.840 cannot be stated enough how dangerous of a player she is. 0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.400 And again, when you have Rodman and Quassi on both sides, 0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:20.680 they're really coming down both. They don't prioritize one. Actually, 0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:22.880 they're dangerous on both sides. And the way that the 0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:26.400 Rains sometimes like to prioritize square to attacking or Dalline 0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:27.960 attacking on the left, there's. 0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:29.560 Some balance to both of these teams. 0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:32.240 And so again I mean these last you know, now 0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:36.040 less than twenty minutes before this half, we really need 0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:37.840 to see a momentum shift for the Rain to go 0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:39.040 into half only one zero. 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.640 Now right now we're into the twenty ninth minute of 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.840 this game, Washington leading one nothing. They have the ball 0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:49.920 along their back line now with Bug and mcclernan, and 0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:53.520 you're just waiting for Seattle Rain to break through here 0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:57.640 and hopefully not get a counterattack against them. They will 0:32:57.680 --> 0:33:00.240 earn a foul from just inside their own half the field, 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.400 and Seattle, already trying to work fast, referee will hold 0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:07.040 her up for just a moment. You can already feel 0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.840 the quickness of this Rain team. They want to kind 0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:13.480 of work back very fast and try to get things going. 0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:13.920 Yeah. 0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.280 I like that. I actually like that little body language. Right, 0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:17.880 the ball goes down, they don't want to mess around, 0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:18.760 they don't want to send it long. 0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:20.960 Put the ball on the ground, move it and let's 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:22.280 get everyone on the same page. 0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:23.520 And the ball higher up the field. 0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:25.880 There's Ward on this right side trying to win that 0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:29.080 ball back. But it's good Galmo who takes it away 0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:33.480 still with Seattle, though it's going into a lot of tackles. 0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:37.080 There is McCammon, but it is another takeaway here and 0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:39.880 Washington have a chance to break here potentially quickly, but 0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:41.880 not a good enough ball to their right side of 0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:43.360 the field. They will have to hold it up and 0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:46.760 quickly the Rain gets set back up on their defensive 0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:49.640 end and Washington will have to work just a little 0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:52.280 bit slower. And now another physical play in the middle 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.320 of the park, Rain asking for a foul there is 0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:58.280 I believe that was Mercato at the top getting dragged down. 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.480 But it's that physicality you talked about a few minutes ago, 0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:06.280 Washington playing. You know, I talked about the adjustments from 0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.760 three weeks ago, the adjustment that I'm seeing the most. 0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:09.920 Is that physicality. 0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:11.400 Yeah, it's definitely physicality. 0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.960 I would also say they're a little bit more patient 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:15.759 in their buildout than they were when we first saw 0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:17.560 them a few weeks ago. They're willing to swing it, 0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:19.400 They're willing to go out the other side. They're a 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:22.080 very good team, but I sense from them a confidence 0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:23.839 in that that they're able to slow the game down, 0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.640 just at least not when they're in their deep defensive ends. 0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:29.759 There's Kawassie chance to cross it in blocked immediately and 0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.759 good job there by has James Turner to take that 0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:36.640 one away back to ward laying it off and Seattle 0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:38.440 working with a little bit of pressure but passing the 0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:39.040 ball around. 0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:39.400 Well. 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.040 It was kind of interesting, you know, in those first 0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:45.480 few scoreless games that we had, especially that Utah game 0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:49.319 about a month ago, the issue for Seattle was the 0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:54.200 defensive giveaways. That issue has changed to offensive scoring in 0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:57.560 the finishing balls, but the defensive giveaways, at least since 0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:01.200 that little stretch highlighted around the Utah game, been much better. 0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:02.680 And you look at that series right there where the 0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:05.960 pressure from Washington was on Seattle doing very very well 0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.120 to pass under pressure. 0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.440 Yeah, absolutely not only their back line and Bug and 0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:14.080 Curry and Huerta, who are very composed and under pressure. 0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:16.200 We saw that even last week against Boston. Boston had 0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:18.239 a pretty high press as well, and so they do 0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:21.600 that comfortably. They also really rely on their holding mids 0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.080 in this formation and in this structure, and so you 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:26.920 know that's has, that's James Turner coming down and being comfortable, 0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:30.200 it's Ainsley McCammon. Both of those players really really set 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.600 the stage for how the Rain can build out in 0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:34.680 different ways, and Laura Harvey focused on that this week. 0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:36.200 She said those players are going to be huge for 0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:37.239 them in order to build out. 0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:39.920 Seattle passing along their back line of ball head to 0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:42.759 Holly Ward and was immediately fouled by Washington and more 0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.799 physical play there from the Spirit as Seattle has a 0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.439 free kick and they will lay it off and try 0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.040 to play out of the middle of the park. Here 0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:52.960 with Bug over to the left side for Curry. Curry 0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:56.960 trying to find the field for James Turner. She cannot 0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.120 connect with Maddy Dollen and is taken away by the 0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:04.480 Spirit here in the thirty second minute, Washington Spirit leading 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:07.600 one nothing. An eighteenth minute goal by Lacy Santos off 0:36:07.640 --> 0:36:12.000 of a free kick is how they got their lead. 0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:14.160 And they will now try to build out of the 0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:17.600 back with some high press by the Seattle rain now 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:21.640 ball on to the right side for them using their 0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.440 full backs to try to get something going out of 0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.640 the back. Here's Kossie going up against that left side 0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:29.960 and his physical play there. But a great play there, 0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:32.239 I believe from James Turner to give in the way 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:35.520 of that and stop any would be attacked there from Kawassie. 0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:39.120 Ball up all the way towards McCammon. But that's out 0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:41.160 and it will stay with Seattle here with a throwing 0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:42.359 on this near side. 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:43.640 The right throwing comes quickly. 0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:46.719 It's that pace, it's that attempted quick build up, but 0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:49.279 it's Washington taking it away. Now they have the chance 0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:52.160 to counter Santos calling out a play sending a long 0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:54.360 ball four but cut out well by Madison Curry to 0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:56.040 get in the way of that one and send it 0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:58.840 all the way back to Washington's goalkeeper, Sandy McIver. 0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:01.160 Yeah, and it's really pink ponging back around in this 0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:04.160 midfield right now. Neither team is established establishing a good 0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:06.960 rhythm or you know, overt possession, and so it's kind 0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:08.760 of going back and forth, and we're seeing the physical 0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:11.280 play and it feels like really really fifty to fifty 0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:11.719 right now. 0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:14.160 It certainly does a foul called there on the spirit 0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:18.279 just inside of their own half. Gabrielle Karl with a 0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:24.920 rather large collision there taking just a moment here to 0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:28.959 breathe after what was some furious back and forth play 0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:30.480 in the middle of the park there for the last 0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:36.320 couple of minutes of this game, and for Seattle, Sally 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:39.960 Menti taking an extra minute there, the Roosevelt High School alum, 0:37:41.080 --> 0:37:44.640 just making sure she is okay. It was an interesting 0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:47.879 change that head coach Laurel Harvey made for that Boston match, 0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:50.680 putting Sallymenti in that number ten spot. Obviously, with the 0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:54.080 injury to Jeff Fishlock, the big question is can the 0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:56.880 Seattle rain find in number ten? Can they find a 0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.560 central attacking midfielder who can make up for the loss 0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:03.319 of Jess Fishlock and Sally Menti, who has a lot 0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:05.480 of promising talent. The young twenty four year old from 0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:12.080 Roosevelt High School and Santa Clara University, she is up 0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:14.120 for it, as she was started in that Boston game 0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:17.839 and getting another start here today, her third of the year. 0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:21.759 But a free kick coming for Seattle. A long time 0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:25.759 for this free kick setup, probably about forty yards out 0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:30.280 from goal is will be Sophia Auerta over it raises 0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:33.760 her left hand, sending the long ball towards the far post, 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:36.680 and nearly had Maddy Mercato at that far post. Takes 0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:38.960 a couple of bounces around and we'll go into the 0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:42.360 arms easily of Sandy mckiv or in goal for Washing. 0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.200 But you had that far post there from Mercado. She 0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:46.920 was set up and that ball was headed there from 0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:47.680 Sophia Aguerta. 0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:49.560 Yeah, and it's a good ball from Werta. 0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:52.360 And again, I think when we're talking about again, the 0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:57.480 word that Laura Harvey used was production. Production means, you know, 0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:00.280 good shots on frame. It doesn't just mean goals, means 0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:03.799 good third entry passes, you know, it's it's assists. It's 0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:06.759 anything that creates a really hard chance that they have 0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:09.760 to defend, either by shot blocking or a good saved 0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:11.439 by the keeper. And I think one thing we're seeing 0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:14.080 right now is the rain are still creating chances. They're 0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:17.600 still in this game. There is a need for that 0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:20.440 final piece, a better production at the end. It needs 0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:22.279 to be a better shot on frame, a better header. 0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:24.399 They need to challenge mcguiber moore. 0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:27.440 Here's Lacy Santos playing right through the middle of Seattle 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:31.240 and here's Kassi now on this right side. Kawassi getting 0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:33.480 right to that end line, chance across cross comes in 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:37.400 shot right to the right of the post. A very 0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:40.279 good quick build up from the Washington Spirit and there's 0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:42.880 I believe Cantory at the end of that one, putting 0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:47.400 it just wide. A dangerous moment there as Washington Spirit 0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:51.640 with some really pinpoint passing in the final third to 0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:53.359 nearly create a goal, and the rain. 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.120 We're out of shape here, so they were a little 0:39:55.239 --> 0:39:58.240 unorganized and you know, just kind of in that emergency defending. 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:00.879 We've talked about that flee Pebe mcclernan so good at 0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:04.120 what she's not exceptionally great at is one B one 0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:06.560 defending out wide because that's not her role as a 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:08.759 center back. But we saw Kawassi get the ball wide 0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:12.879 there and charge at mcclernant and she easily surpassed her. 0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:15.000 And you know, Kawassi is one of those players that 0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:18.000 recognizes when it's not a great matchup. She drives towards 0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:19.719 that end line, and she is someone they have to 0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:20.919 watch the whole game. 0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.040 As long as she is in mclaran trying to send 0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:26.839 a fall bar forward to Mercado, it's cut out more 0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:31.239 physical play, a hard foul there, and it's going to 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.719 be Rebecca Bernald down for Washington's Mercado getting a talking to. 0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.759 No card given, though, but it's that physical play going 0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.080 back and forth. I think Seattle in the first thirty 0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:43.279 minutes of this game saw the physicality from Washington. Now 0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:45.880 they're matching it. Foul called there. I wonder, you know, 0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:48.480 at a certain point from a reugh reaspect, imagine you 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.839 as a player kind of experienced that where all right, 0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:52.680 you've set the tone that physical play is going to 0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:53.200 be allowed. 0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:55.200 Then you've got to make sure it goes both ways. 0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.640 Yeah, I mean that's what everyone always says, right, It's 0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:58.640 got to go both ways. 0:40:58.680 --> 0:40:59.840 It's got to be consistent. 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.359 And so you know, the first the yellow card early on, 0:41:02.440 --> 0:41:03.759 I think we say, like we said, it was a 0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:05.760 professional foul that had to be done. 0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:06.960 But we haven't seen. 0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:09.600 A card since, and you know, there's there's definitely they're 0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:12.000 pushing the line right now. I think we're edging towards 0:41:12.000 --> 0:41:13.480 some yellow cards. 0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:16.480 Potentially exactly with as much physical play as there was 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:19.200 as Maddie Mercado with that foul. Washington picked it up 0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:21.480 and they've gone all the way very quickly to their 0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:24.200 own end after a long ball. But it will be 0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:28.120 out for a goalkick for Claudia Dickie. We can talk 0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:30.240 about Claudia Dickey for a moment in this game, because 0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.399 it's it's worth talking about her call to the United 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:35.920 States national team. And right now is you look ahead 0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:38.880 to not only the games coming up for the United States, 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:42.080 but also you look ahead to the major international tournaments 0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.680 coming up in the coming you know, even you know, 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:48.479 three four five years. Claudia Dickie right now, twenty six 0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:51.560 years old, she has a chance to really become the 0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:55.919 long term starting goalkeeper of the United States national team 0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:57.480 for quite a long time right. 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.960 Now, Yeah, which is so impressive with her young game, 0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:02.359 I mean the confidence that she plays with, you know, 0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:05.480 playing well at her feet and coming out on crosses. 0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:07.040 Those are two areas of the game that can be 0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:09.800 hard for a young keeper to really, you know, really 0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:12.160 do well at especially when you're playing against you know, 0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:15.080 well experienced players and everything. So her game is incredible. 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:18.000 It's pretty obvious by the opportunity she's being given. And 0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:21.520 the best part about you know, keeper opportunities is the 0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.000 ability to stay in there consistently. 0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.479 A bit of an interesting play there is the throw 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.000 and led to a quick back and forth with Lacey Santuz, 0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:30.520 who tried it a shot from about thirty five yards 0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:32.680 out that went to a good ten yards wide of 0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:36.719 goal sorry to interrupted issues. Lazy Sandals was quickly trying 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:38.840 to catch Claudia Dickie out a goal, but it was 0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:39.600 nowhere near on. 0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:40.200 Frame go ahead. 0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:42.279 Basically, I think she heard us talking about how good 0:42:42.320 --> 0:42:44.080 she was and she was like, let's just test her out, 0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:46.520 you know, but definitely not the shot she wanted there. 0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.440 And yeah, like we said, Claudia Dickie, I think the 0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:53.120 unique thing about a goalkeeper position is the every coach 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:56.160 really really wants consistency and that position. They don't want 0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:57.520 to be switching it back and forth. You're not going 0:42:57.560 --> 0:42:59.680 to see two keepers come into a game, and so 0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:03.520 Audia Dicky can earn that number one spot. I mean 0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:05.239 I would expect to see her there for like you 0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:06.000 said years to come. 0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:08.359 I mean they had those three games against Japan there 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:10.680 what was that in April and one of the games 0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:14.560 was against Lumen at lumen Field, and unfortunately Dicky did 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:16.719 not get the start of the Lumenfield game. She got 0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:19.279 the two starts of the three games, the two that 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:22.279 weren't a Luminfield, which was a little bit frustrating, but 0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:25.319 nonetheless it was we mean what we in our first 0:43:25.360 --> 0:43:28.120 broadcast had a United States National team head coach Ema 0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:31.560 Hayes on and she loves Dicky's game. The only question 0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.799 is can Dicky do the work and continue to work 0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:38.400 hard and get better in those moments of less pressure 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:41.759 like that free kick that Lacy Santos scored in the 0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:44.879 eighteenth minute to establish she will be the long term 0:43:45.000 --> 0:43:50.160 starting goalkeeper for the national team. And certainly Ema Hayes 0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:52.839 will watch that game and she will watch that free 0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:58.000 kick and have guidance for her top keeper. But in 0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:00.600 this game, it is one nothing washing and they are 0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:02.920 sending a long bellfoward as Dickie's able to grab that 0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:05.720 one right in front of Trinity Rodman. Long ball ahead. 0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:10.080 But that was a good moment from the Seattle rain goalkeeper. 0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:12.080 Yeah, great moment. She comes out with such confidence. That's 0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:14.440 what Laura Harvey said. She almost never comes out specifically 0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:17.120 on crosses and misses it, so she either comes out 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:18.799 and grabs it or she knows that she won't get 0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:20.960 there in time. But I will say, in these last 0:44:21.000 --> 0:44:24.320 five minutes, we have seen the Spirit break the Seattle rains, 0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:28.320 press the defensive press multiple times. So I wouldn't be 0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:32.000 surprised if aft halftime Laura Harvey really wants some changes there. 0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:34.920 Well, it's one nothing right now five minutes before the half, Stephanie, 0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:37.319 and I'm wondering what your keys to this final five 0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:38.600 minutes are for Seattle. 0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:41.640 Unfortunately, with the way the momentum is going, I would 0:44:41.680 --> 0:44:45.920 say almost just kind of get back, get organized, lock in, 0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:47.440 do not let them score. 0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:49.839 I wouldn't push super hard for a goal here. 0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:53.720 The Spirit have a lot of momentum and multiple strong players, 0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:55.759 and you know Rodman and Quassi are kind of going 0:44:55.800 --> 0:44:58.000 at them, So I would say, stay organized, don't do 0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:00.839 anything crazy, you know, keep your midfie others on the ball, 0:45:00.960 --> 0:45:04.360 find your forward stretching the line if possible, and if not, 0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:07.240 just really really be organized in the back because. 0:45:07.040 --> 0:45:09.160 You have a good bench right now with a Damis 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:11.520 and with Radcliffe, who scored a couple of goals this year. 0:45:11.719 --> 0:45:15.600 The talented me official Sammes is also available off the bench. 0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:18.160 It is a strong bench for Seattle Rain. You just 0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:21.120 want to make sure this game stays one. Nothing here 0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:23.640 or you can find a goal against the run of play, 0:45:23.760 --> 0:45:26.600 just like Washington did. But here is another counter. Here 0:45:26.680 --> 0:45:29.000 is the Spirit working through the middle. Here's Santos once 0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:34.960 again tearing right through Seattle's middle. Now here's Carl to Kuwassie. 0:45:34.480 --> 0:45:34.920 In the box. 0:45:34.920 --> 0:45:38.399 But a great job by mcclernan to cut that one 0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:40.400 out and clear it all the way back to the 0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:43.279 middle of the park. It's gonna take I think a 0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:46.520 lot of moments like that where Washington wanted to work 0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:51.600 quickly in transition and emergency defending from Seattle's talented back line. 0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:52.399 This is a Rain team. 0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:55.120 I mean, Stephan, we haven't talked about the defensive prowess 0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:58.680 of this team yet, but really this season, defense has 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.160 been the hallmark and what they've been able to rely 0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:02.920 on for a lot of points. 0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:03.600 Yeah, it has. 0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:05.759 We've talked about how consistently this back line, you know, 0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:08.120 with the exception of Jordan Bug has been together even 0:46:08.239 --> 0:46:09.839 to the end of last year and end of this year, 0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:12.480 and that consistency is super helpful and something they need 0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:14.640 to rely on in these games. But you can see 0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:17.360 even right now the mclernan and Curry at times have 0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:20.440 switched positions and they need to That consistency is what 0:46:20.480 --> 0:46:22.880 allows them to do that, to do that emergency defending 0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:24.480 when they're in transition, trying. 0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:27.720 To get back and catch players like Kawassi, Cantore and Rodman. 0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:29.759 I mean, those players are hard to catch up with 0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:30.800 and then hard to defend. 0:46:31.320 --> 0:46:32.640 Seattle's press is on. 0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:35.200 As the ball is at the foot of Washington's goalkeeper, 0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:38.440 MacIver will send it long, reaches the head all the 0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:41.120 way to Kawassie and she will not be able to 0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:43.840 gather that. When a go all the way to mclernan 0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:46.960 and then to Claudia Dicky in goal who works out 0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:48.360 of the back here and now works out of the 0:46:48.440 --> 0:46:51.799 back quickly. Chance for Seattle maybe transition here on this 0:46:51.960 --> 0:46:55.799 right side where it's a going too fast, Washington has 0:46:55.800 --> 0:46:58.720 the chance to kind of get set up long ball forward, 0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:02.439 nobody home. Washington's back line will take that one out. 0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:05.280 We're into the forty third minute here at Audy Field 0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:08.640 in Washington, d C. Spirit leading the Rain by a 0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:11.560 score of one nothing. You know, what could be a 0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:15.480 back and forth last fifty eight minutes of this game 0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:18.759 is Rodman Rodman trying to football into the box here 0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:21.600 to Ken Torre and the Santos a couple of players there. 0:47:21.640 --> 0:47:24.440 But an excellent job by Jordan Bugg this time to 0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:26.080 take that one away and clear it back out. 0:47:27.480 --> 0:47:29.080 You know, I was just about to say that I 0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.239 wouldn't be surprised if we saw Cocoa Mandas here in 0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:34.160 here early Holly Ward hasn't done an amazing job getting 0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:36.680 up with the ball and creating that that chances on 0:47:36.719 --> 0:47:38.080 the on the side. And I just saw co go 0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:39.480 standing up, So I'm not going to say that I 0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:41.399 was right. Maybe she'll come in aute half, or maybe 0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:43.840 Laura Harvey was just pointing out, you know something to 0:47:43.920 --> 0:47:45.960 her there. But I expect to see her, if not 0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:47.799 at halftime early on into the second half. 0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:49.520 That would make a lot of sense. And you think 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:51.680 about the offensive players and this team could make a 0:47:51.680 --> 0:47:54.520 big impact. The one for one of Mandas here for 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:56.640 Ward makes a lot of sense. If you aren't getting 0:47:56.719 --> 0:47:58.960 enough out of Murcaala. You can get a me official on. 0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:01.839 You know, Rack Cliff is a winger if you need 0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:05.000 that swapped. Maddie Dolleen had a few very very good 0:48:05.040 --> 0:48:07.040 minutes in the first eighteen minutes of this game. She's 0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:09.399 been a little bit silent from there. But there are 0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:12.640 a lot of options for head coach Laura Harvey, who's 0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:15.200 the most decorated coach in this league's history. If anybody's 0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:17.880 gonna make the changes to get Seattle back in this 0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:21.560 game and get back points in Washington, it is the 0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:24.919 legend Laura Harvey. Now here's a ball to Mercado working 0:48:24.960 --> 0:48:27.520 against two defenders. Ball pops up and it's into the 0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:29.960 back of the net. Is it going to be a 0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:32.120 goal for Mercado? Is it going to be an own goal? 0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:35.880 It's a ball that kind of came out of nowhere. 0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:38.640 Cross came in. 0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:41.600 We'll see if they credit Mrcado, who is in between 0:48:41.640 --> 0:48:45.479 two defenders, and we'll get a replay and see how 0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:50.120 exactly this ball went over the jumping Sanny McIver, the 0:48:50.160 --> 0:48:54.440 goalkeeper for Washington, who came out of her goal and 0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:56.479 was clearly off track. Here. 0:48:56.800 --> 0:48:58.520 As we watch the replay. 0:48:58.480 --> 0:49:02.440 That does take a tip off of Mercado who sticks 0:49:02.480 --> 0:49:07.600 out her foot and it bounces perfectly off of that 0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:11.360 left foot. Ooh, was that other a defend need a 0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:12.520 closer look there. 0:49:13.960 --> 0:49:15.279 That is going to be an own goal. 0:49:15.480 --> 0:49:17.080 It is going to be an onn goal there on 0:49:17.160 --> 0:49:20.880 Googilmo and who puts it into her own back of 0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:23.720 the net as she gets her right foot on it, 0:49:23.719 --> 0:49:28.080 it goes over her goalkeeper Sandy mckiver a long ball 0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:29.600 over the top to Mercado. 0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:34.680 Stephanie, that wow, what a goal? That wow is right? 0:49:34.840 --> 0:49:37.319 You know, I hate an own goal when there's a 0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:40.719 player there that's causing the pressure and is so obviously 0:49:40.800 --> 0:49:42.960 creating that play. You know, of course it is an 0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:46.000 own goal where Guiermo did not have the clearance that 0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:49.600 she wanted there, but an amazing pass from Curry to 0:49:49.719 --> 0:49:51.560 just drop that over the end with a runner like 0:49:51.600 --> 0:49:54.160 Mercado stretching the line and is able to again put 0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:57.040 that defender under pressure and just kind of chipped mcguyver. 0:49:57.160 --> 0:49:58.400 I mean it kind of like you said, it came 0:49:58.400 --> 0:49:59.840 out of nowheer. But a very good build up. 0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:03.359 There's a cross coming in and great job there by 0:50:03.480 --> 0:50:06.640 Dicky to grab that one out of that kick, we 0:50:06.760 --> 0:50:09.080 got plus three added minutes here at the end of 0:50:09.080 --> 0:50:12.759 this first half. I'm gonna talk again about Madison Curry 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.480 because she had the assist in that Boston game from 0:50:15.560 --> 0:50:20.120 the wide long ball that reaches the back post to 0:50:20.160 --> 0:50:23.520 Maddie Doleen, and she has, as you mentioned, that long 0:50:23.640 --> 0:50:27.839 kick there in the box that Gougelmo misjudges on her 0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:31.279 right foot, puts it over her goalkeeper, and the Rain 0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:35.719 have the equalizer right before halftime, one to one. And 0:50:35.840 --> 0:50:38.560 now the big question going into the second half, Stephanie, 0:50:38.640 --> 0:50:41.760 is how will the dynamic change the first eighteen minutes 0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:45.400 We're all Seattle. Since the eighteenth minute, this game has 0:50:45.440 --> 0:50:48.359 been back forth, transition, transitions, Seattle trying to build up 0:50:48.680 --> 0:50:55.200 Washington transitions, emergency defending. How does that change if, I mean, 0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:57.040 there's still a minute and a half left in this half. 0:50:57.400 --> 0:50:59.160 But you wonder how the second half. 0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:01.680 Begins in this one to one game if it resumes 0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:03.359 the dynamic from the start of this game. 0:51:03.640 --> 0:51:05.640 Yeah, I was about to say, now the scorer line 0:51:05.680 --> 0:51:08.160 actually just tracks what the game is. So it is 0:51:08.160 --> 0:51:10.280 a fifty to fifty game. It's very back and forth. 0:51:10.400 --> 0:51:13.400 Neither team again has very good, you know, rhythm or 0:51:13.440 --> 0:51:16.759 tone or kind of setting the stage. It's going back 0:51:16.800 --> 0:51:19.800 and forth. There's lots of challenges and so to your point, 0:51:20.200 --> 0:51:21.640 I don't I actually don't know if we see a 0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:25.000 ton of changes, except again, Washington played two games last 0:51:25.000 --> 0:51:28.360 week and the Rain. They have lots of good talent 0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:30.480 on the bench. They have a very deep bench with 0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:32.320 people that can come in and add to that press, 0:51:32.360 --> 0:51:34.920 which we have seen drop off a little bit, the Rains. 0:51:34.680 --> 0:51:36.239 Defensive press that has dropped off. 0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:39.920 And so you know, I still expect both coaches to 0:51:40.040 --> 0:51:43.280 stick to their game plan, but maybe with some new players, 0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:43.960 with some new legs. 0:51:44.080 --> 0:51:46.040 In that first fifteen minutes, long. 0:51:45.920 --> 0:51:47.880 Ball from Makaiver will go all the way to Dicky, 0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:49.960 right through the middle of the park. As we're into 0:51:49.960 --> 0:51:54.680 the final forty five seconds of the added three, Seattle 0:51:54.800 --> 0:51:58.719 finding the equalizer a forty fourth minute own goal by 0:51:58.719 --> 0:52:05.000 the Washington Life's back Lucia di Gaguilllmo, and that gets 0:52:05.000 --> 0:52:06.839 this right back in. And it's interesting because we were 0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:09.480 talking about Mond Decier at halftime. We're talking about all 0:52:09.520 --> 0:52:13.200 the potential changes to get offensive weapons in. Plans may 0:52:13.239 --> 0:52:17.279 have just changed with that wild own goal. There but 0:52:17.400 --> 0:52:20.080 here is still the final few seconds of this first half. 0:52:20.120 --> 0:52:24.280 Here's Kuwassi working on the right side, getting by two midfielders. 0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:27.799 Now a chance to cross it in. Great tackle from 0:52:27.840 --> 0:52:32.040 Madison Curry there. Curry's been excellent today and she will 0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:35.040 create that tackle right there at the edge of the box. 0:52:35.640 --> 0:52:35.839 Yeah. 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:38.399 I mean, if we have a player of the first half, 0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:40.640 it's for sure Madison courna only as she made some 0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:44.120 amazing defensive stops, but again her service has just been incredible. 0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:48.840 We'll see our referee today, Alexandra bill Etter. She will 0:52:48.840 --> 0:52:51.720 call halftime there. That will be the full three minutes 0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:54.440 and that will be the first half. It was a 0:52:54.920 --> 0:52:59.080 dominant first eighteen minutes for Seattle to get them in 0:52:59.160 --> 0:53:01.239 position to look for an opening goal. But it was 0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:03.840 a free kick by Lacy Santos that give Washing No. 0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:06.680 One nothing lead, and then an own goal by Lucia 0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:10.799 Diguelmo in the forty fourth minutes give Seattle their goal. 0:53:11.120 --> 0:53:13.919 It's one to one going into the half. We'll get 0:53:14.080 --> 0:53:15.880 a break and we'll get to the halftime show and 0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:18.480 talk about a back and forth first half that will 0:53:18.480 --> 0:53:22.160 come up next here on Sports Radio nine fifty KJR AM. 0:53:22.719 --> 0:53:25.200 It started as a puddle in the shower. 0:53:25.400 --> 0:53:28.560 Uh oh. Then the kitchen scene started bagging up.

Again 0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:45.200 the score line really represents what's happening out. There it's 0:57:45.240 --> 0:57:48.440 back and. Forth like you, said The spirit are very transition. 0:57:48.440 --> 0:57:50.959 Oriented we talk talked about this the last time we played. 0:57:50.960 --> 0:57:53.080 Them they like to get out of their back and 0:57:53.240 --> 0:57:56.160 fly at you with. Numbers they do that With, cantore With, 0:57:56.280 --> 0:57:59.280 rodman With, couassi and we're seeing that they look dangerous 0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:02.600 whenever there and The rains defensive half and then on 0:58:02.640 --> 0:58:05.680 the flip, side The rain have been fairly composed on the, 0:58:05.680 --> 0:58:08.800 ball have created a few chances nowhere near look as 0:58:08.880 --> 0:58:11.480 dangerous you, know on the attack at times as The, 0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:14.760 spirit but actually generally have MORE i would, say you, 0:58:14.800 --> 0:58:17.720 know composure throughout throughout the.

Now 1:02:13.280 --> 1:02:16.320 eighteenth minute free kick for The spirit By Lacy, santos 1:02:16.520 --> 1:02:20.160 forty fourth minute own goal by the left back for The, 1:02:20.160 --> 1:02:22.560 spirit and that game right now is at one point. 1:02:22.600 --> 1:02:25.160 One and here on the halftime, show let's just bring 1:02:25.160 --> 1:02:27.400 the conversation we were just having off the air onto the. 1:02:27.400 --> 1:02:30.440 Air and that's the big, Question, stephanie about the styles 1:02:30.480 --> 1:02:33.120 of these teams and the way that they wanted to. 1:02:33.120 --> 1:02:36.080 Play the first eighteen minutes was All seattle until that 1:02:36.120 --> 1:02:40.000 free kick. Goal i'm wondering stylistically how the second half 1:02:40.080 --> 1:02:41.120 opens up in a one to one. 1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:43.280 Game, yeah we were just talking about it in terms 1:02:43.280 --> 1:02:46.360 of the aggressiveness that we're, seeing not only physically and 1:02:46.440 --> 1:02:48.640 kind of obviously from The, spirit but also in terms 1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:50.880 of how they. Play they fly numbers, forward they like 1:02:50.960 --> 1:02:53.880 to really go at, you very, vertical very direct style 1:02:53.920 --> 1:02:56.280 of play at, times and so you're going to see 1:02:56.280 --> 1:02:58.520 some tired legs that's just the nature of that type of. 1:02:58.560 --> 1:03:01.000 Play you have players Like rod men In kuwassie who 1:03:01.080 --> 1:03:03.120 just again just kind of go at, you and they 1:03:03.120 --> 1:03:05.720 played two games last. Week so HOW i see some 1:03:05.800 --> 1:03:08.800 of this Transpiring as a Hopeful rain, FAN i will 1:03:08.840 --> 1:03:11.800 say is THAT i do sense that The Washington spirit 1:03:11.840 --> 1:03:14.320 will need to make changes or their style of play 1:03:14.320 --> 1:03:16.400 will will kind of drop off in a sense in 1:03:16.640 --> 1:03:19.440 terms of being a little weaker in comparison To seattle's, 1:03:19.480 --> 1:03:21.320 composure which we just talked about in a team that 1:03:21.320 --> 1:03:24.720 feels very comfortable together at this. Time that being, said 1:03:25.400 --> 1:03:27.880 The rain also have a deep, Bench SO i, think you, 1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.080 know if we're going to see how The rain hope 1:03:30.120 --> 1:03:32.560 to play in this second, half it would be adding 1:03:32.680 --> 1:03:35.040 some fire to that front. Line they got that, goal 1:03:35.120 --> 1:03:37.640 BUT i, think as you said To, jackson, rightly it 1:03:37.680 --> 1:03:38.800 felt like it came out of. 1:03:38.840 --> 1:03:40.680 Nowhere they don't want that to be the case in 1:03:40.720 --> 1:03:41.040 the second. 1:03:41.120 --> 1:03:43.080 Half they want to be able to, say, well of 1:03:43.080 --> 1:03:45.400 course we, scored we created the best, chances we had 1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:47.400 the most.

Half we expected her to come 1:08:13.920 --> 1:08:16.479 on For Holly. Ward ward didn't have as much production 1:08:16.680 --> 1:08:18.680 as we expected her to on that right.

Times 1:08:25.000 --> 1:08:27.840 But mondessyr is going to add that extra, energy that 1:08:27.920 --> 1:08:29.519 kind of driving ability with the. 1:08:29.600 --> 1:08:30.720 Ball she's really. 1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:32.960 Dangerous she'll drag some players over to her and actually 1:08:33.000 --> 1:08:35.880 Give mercado and others some. Space and then the other 1:08:36.040 --> 1:08:39.120 switch is Sam, mezza who has been out with a 1:08:39.160 --> 1:08:41.120 little bit of an injury and she one is just 1:08:41.160 --> 1:08:43.479 a fantastic player to have on the. Field but we 1:08:43.479 --> 1:08:46.880 were talking about her defensive capabilities and her ability to 1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:50.240 rotate in that midfield allows the players above her to 1:08:50.280 --> 1:08:52.639 have more, freedom and that is what The rain needs 1:08:52.720 --> 1:08:53.240 to win this. 1:08:53.320 --> 1:08:54.920 Game so we see the two changes. 1:08:54.960 --> 1:08:58.200 There it's a right wing straight swap mandas here For 1:08:58.240 --> 1:09:01.559 ward and then it's also a holding midfield Swap mesa 1:09:01.680 --> 1:09:04.479 For ainsley.

There in a moment of, Transition kuwassie is 1:16:46.800 --> 1:16:51.760 down long ball forward is cut out By, gelmo but 1:16:51.920 --> 1:16:56.719 only two mcclernin, again as looks Like kawassi is still. 1:16:56.800 --> 1:17:00.720 Down montasy here trying to slip the ball Into, mercado 1:17:01.160 --> 1:17:02.519 but that is cut out well By. 1:17:02.640 --> 1:17:04.120 Washington they will clear it all the way. 1:17:04.160 --> 1:17:06.639 Back now we're kind of seeing in the last two 1:17:06.720 --> 1:17:10.519 three minutes that this battle of tempo is going to 1:17:10.520 --> 1:17:13.200 the side Of seattle as they are getting a bit 1:17:13.280 --> 1:17:18.160 more forward here on the front foot only for a few. 1:17:18.200 --> 1:17:21.160 Minutes we know that this tempo and this game. 1:17:21.120 --> 1:17:25.080 Flow can change very very quickly with the speed of 1:17:25.160 --> 1:17:25.799 The washington. 1:17:25.800 --> 1:17:28.240 Spirit, yeah and we said it at the beginning of the, 1:17:28.240 --> 1:17:30.320 game but it feels even more true now we said 1:17:30.360 --> 1:17:32.840 sixty minutes on is really going to be you know 1:17:32.880 --> 1:17:35.160 what determines this, game which sounds like an obvious thing 1:17:35.200 --> 1:17:36.960 when you're talking about just the end of the, game 1:17:37.600 --> 1:17:39.880 the end of the, game but it is true today 1:17:40.080 --> 1:17:41.200 partially because of what we. 1:17:41.200 --> 1:17:42.360 Said well both the. 1:17:42.400 --> 1:17:45.760 Arsenal that both coaches have to change the game with 1:17:46.000 --> 1:17:49.040 personnel specifically and who to put in and how to you, 1:17:49.120 --> 1:17:51.680 know address what the other coach is. Doing, again you, 1:17:51.680 --> 1:17:54.439 know they already Put Cocoa manda The rain already Put 1:17:54.439 --> 1:17:56.720 cocoa mandas here And mesa. In but on the same, 1:17:56.760 --> 1:18:00.320 Side Washington spirit has some dangerous subs with gutierres others 1:18:00.320 --> 1:18:00.720 that we've talked. 1:18:00.760 --> 1:18:01.280 About, yeah. 1:18:01.320 --> 1:18:04.639 Exactly Claudia martinez is they're one of the outstanding wingers 1:18:04.640 --> 1:18:07.360 who scored in the eighty thirth, minute eighty third minute 1:18:08.160 --> 1:18:11.920 Against Seattle reign in that game three weeks ago In 1:18:11.960 --> 1:18:14.880 seattle Where Washington spirit came up. Here they were, outplayed 1:18:15.120 --> 1:18:17.400 but they got a goal against the run of play 1:18:17.439 --> 1:18:20.480 in the eighty third minute by their speedy Winger, martinez 1:18:20.920 --> 1:18:24.439 and that gave them a one nothing. Win and then 1:18:24.439 --> 1:18:26.479 as a talented player that they can bring off their, 1:18:26.520 --> 1:18:29.360 bench think About Claudia. MARTINEZ i have this stat. Here 1:18:29.760 --> 1:18:32.640 she made Her paraguayan national team debut a couple of 1:18:32.760 --> 1:18:36.080 years ago at sixteen years. Old she's now had seven 1:18:36.120 --> 1:18:39.320 games with The paraguayan national team and she scored six 1:18:39.400 --> 1:18:42.880 goals in those seven games For. Paraguay and she is 1:18:42.920 --> 1:18:47.320 an international who can do, many many good things for 1:18:47.479 --> 1:18:51.120 This washington team off the. Bench so when you say 1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:53.759 this is a game that'll go down the last thirty, minutes, 1:18:53.920 --> 1:18:56.240 well it's one to one here in the fifty fifth, minute. 1:18:56.000 --> 1:18:56.640 Thirty five to. 1:18:56.680 --> 1:18:59.639 Go that is exactly what we are looking at as 1:18:59.680 --> 1:19:02.719 the ball is it the foot Of aavan. Mclernan no real, 1:19:02.760 --> 1:19:05.800 pressure no real press From. Washington here is a chance 1:19:05.840 --> 1:19:08.920 to breathe For. Seattle and the tempo of this game 1:19:08.960 --> 1:19:11.040 has slowed here in the last few. 1:19:11.080 --> 1:19:14.320 Moments and again it kind of feels like both. 1:19:14.160 --> 1:19:17.280 Big collision middle of the. Field one big collision middle 1:19:17.280 --> 1:19:19.960 of the. Field kuwassi going right up Against. Salimenti both 1:19:19.960 --> 1:19:21.960 players are. Up that did not look good in the. 1:19:21.960 --> 1:19:25.840 Moment both players shoulder to, shoulder maybe head to, head big. 1:19:25.880 --> 1:19:28.080 Collision sorry to cut you off, there. 1:19:28.000 --> 1:19:29.840 Go, ahead Stew we were, SAYING i mean just as 1:19:29.840 --> 1:19:31.479 you were, saying the tempo seems to have dropped, off 1:19:31.479 --> 1:19:33.360 BUT i you, know definitely not the physical. PLAY i, 1:19:33.400 --> 1:19:35.599 mean both teams really are still going into those fifty 1:19:35.640 --> 1:19:37.680 to fifties with a lot of. 1:19:37.720 --> 1:19:40.880 Grit but, yeah it just seems like the tempo's dropped 1:19:40.880 --> 1:19:41.320 off a little. 1:19:41.320 --> 1:19:43.920 Bit, again both coaches seen who's going to blink, first 1:19:43.920 --> 1:19:47.599 and neither stepping Out they have a, press but neither 1:19:47.680 --> 1:19:51.200 stepping out too, high so the keepers aren't getting pressed right. 1:19:51.240 --> 1:19:54.000 Now they're both kind of having a lower line of, 1:19:54.080 --> 1:19:56.479 confrontation so they kind of drop off their. Lines and 1:19:56.479 --> 1:19:59.400 then that's interesting for both. Sides it seems like it's 1:19:59.439 --> 1:20:01.679 a a little bit of kind of you, know rest 1:20:01.720 --> 1:20:04.240 the legs charge when you can be on the same page, 1:20:04.240 --> 1:20:06.120 together but both sides are doing. 1:20:06.040 --> 1:20:08.599 It kind of is it feels very very cagey and 1:20:08.720 --> 1:20:11.439 right now in the fifty seventh, minute and now some 1:20:11.479 --> 1:20:14.559 press here coming From Mattie, doleen she is pressing high 1:20:14.600 --> 1:20:18.280 here trying to create a. Turnover but other than That 1:20:18.320 --> 1:20:20.360 maddy press right, there it has fell a bit, cagey 1:20:21.120 --> 1:20:23.920 sort of the exact thing that you, said who's gonna blink? 1:20:23.960 --> 1:20:27.240 First nobody wants to be that team that gives up 1:20:27.240 --> 1:20:29.240 the big moment of transition that turns into a two 1:20:29.280 --> 1:20:31.920 to one. Deficit balls at the foot Of Jordan bug 1:20:33.720 --> 1:20:37.240 using As James turner now Using curry on this left, 1:20:37.240 --> 1:20:40.400 side going, up It's. Kuwassi quassie wins that one throwing 1:20:40.479 --> 1:20:42.320 coming For seattle on this near side. 1:20:42.160 --> 1:20:44.280 The left. 1:20:45.120 --> 1:20:46.200 And again the back line For. 1:20:46.600 --> 1:20:50.479 SEATTLE i will say they look very again composed and, 1:20:50.560 --> 1:20:52.360 confident and that is what you want to see in 1:20:52.400 --> 1:20:54.799 a game like this against such a strong attacking. 1:20:54.840 --> 1:20:57.040 Front here Is menty moving into the. 1:20:57.080 --> 1:20:59.719 BOX a chance to cross it over To monasor, quickly 1:21:00.640 --> 1:21:03.559 but stays with the rain On maddie Do leen stays 1:21:03.560 --> 1:21:05.799 with the. Rain potential foul in the, box no, Call, 1:21:05.920 --> 1:21:08.080 curry chance to cross it in towards the, middle clear 1:21:08.080 --> 1:21:08.400 it away. 1:21:08.439 --> 1:21:11.240 Again we have believe. 1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:13.559 That's menty down in the middle of the bus and 1:21:13.600 --> 1:21:16.479 there is no foul. Given we'll see IF vr looks 1:21:16.520 --> 1:21:19.200 at that. One But kuwassie now going right up Against 1:21:19.280 --> 1:21:22.120 Jordan Bug bug wins that. Battle ball bounces around to the, 1:21:22.160 --> 1:21:25.240 middle bounces around now to the far. Post Here's Trinity. 1:21:25.320 --> 1:21:28.880 Rodman she has space working Against Wuertza rodman a one on. 1:21:28.880 --> 1:21:31.439 One Here's kokomandas here to, help And rodman will have 1:21:31.520 --> 1:21:31.880 to play it. 1:21:31.920 --> 1:21:37.200 Negatively that's a great slowdown from The rains defense there 1:21:37.240 --> 1:21:38.800 because they were charging two. 1:21:38.880 --> 1:21:41.879 Goal great moment of transition there for The rain defense 1:21:41.920 --> 1:21:45.760 after they worked Into washington's. Goal potential foul in the. 1:21:45.800 --> 1:21:50.439 Box i'm sure a var Official Danielle cheski will look 1:21:50.479 --> 1:21:52.280 at that one in a. Moment but a foul now 1:21:52.280 --> 1:21:55.120 in the middle of the. Park there's a collision there 1:21:56.320 --> 1:22:01.200 Between kuwassi And Sally menti Or Elizabeth, SAY i should, 1:22:01.240 --> 1:22:03.720 say And menti now getting a yellow card here in 1:22:03.760 --> 1:22:06.919 the fifty ninth minute for that collision With Elizabeth. 1:22:07.000 --> 1:22:09.920 Say AND i will Say menti has been involved in it. 1:22:09.960 --> 1:22:12.800 In quite a few of these just, scuffles and she 1:22:12.800 --> 1:22:14.519 did get a yellow card, there and THEN i forgot 1:22:14.560 --> 1:22:16.680 Earlier Holly woard got a yellow CARD i believe. Too 1:22:16.720 --> 1:22:18.160 so actually now we're at three yellow cards in the, 1:22:18.160 --> 1:22:20.880 game which again kind of tracks the physicality that we 1:22:20.920 --> 1:22:23.240 are seeing from both. Sides and there's a little, bit 1:22:23.280 --> 1:22:25.679 like we, said maybe of desperation almost this last game 1:22:25.680 --> 1:22:29.639 before this. BREAK i, mean they're not saving themselves for next. 1:22:29.680 --> 1:22:32.080 Week let's just say, so it does feel like everything's 1:22:32.160 --> 1:22:32.920 kind of all out on the. 1:22:32.920 --> 1:22:35.880 Field, Well stephanie's we now see the referee is holding a. 1:22:35.960 --> 1:22:38.479 PLAY i talked about that collision in the box that 1:22:38.520 --> 1:22:40.280 could have led to a var look and could have 1:22:40.320 --> 1:22:42.720 led to a penalty For, seattle and it is THE 1:22:43.320 --> 1:22:46.800 vr Official Danielle chessky looking at that one talking to the, 1:22:46.800 --> 1:22:50.120 Referee alexander Billet, ter talking to see about if that 1:22:50.360 --> 1:22:54.240 is a penalty For seattle a moment. Ago we'll see 1:22:54.240 --> 1:22:56.479 if we can get another look at that play just 1:22:56.520 --> 1:22:58.400 a couple of minutes. Ago but that is clearly the 1:22:58.439 --> 1:23:01.000 whole up that is happening to see if a penalty 1:23:01.080 --> 1:23:06.080 kick could come For Seattle Rain, nope play, on no penalty. 1:23:06.120 --> 1:23:08.360 Given probably the right call probably would have been a 1:23:08.439 --> 1:23:10.200 little bit light to wore a penalty off of, that 1:23:10.360 --> 1:23:13.760 but nonetheless a moment to remember from this game that 1:23:13.760 --> 1:23:17.080 could have. Been Here's kowassie crossing it in cut. Out well, 1:23:17.120 --> 1:23:19.280 There Jordan bug clearing that one away up To Maddie 1:23:19.320 --> 1:23:23.840 doleen not too far though The spirit will hit it 1:23:23.880 --> 1:23:26.160 back into their own. End ball is bouncing back and 1:23:26.200 --> 1:23:29.160 forth right now In seattle's. End four headers in a, 1:23:29.240 --> 1:23:32.519 Row five headers in a row comes down Two Lacy 1:23:32.560 --> 1:23:35.760 santos For washington working into the final. Third cowassie now 1:23:35.800 --> 1:23:38.000 on the right chance to cross it in working against 1:23:38.000 --> 1:23:40.960 bug crossing it, middle and there's Sam mezza to get 1:23:40.960 --> 1:23:42.200 it right there at the top of the box and 1:23:42.200 --> 1:23:43.960 get in the way of that, one and we'll dish 1:23:44.000 --> 1:23:46.040 it out To Maddie dolleen who will clear that one 1:23:46.080 --> 1:23:49.400 all the way back Into washington's. End another big moment, 1:23:49.400 --> 1:23:52.600 there and Here's Maddy mercatta with some pressure trying to 1:23:52.600 --> 1:23:53.320 get in the way of that. 1:23:53.320 --> 1:23:55.200 One washington dealing well with that. 1:23:55.320 --> 1:24:00.519 Pressure but one of those moments as a long pass 1:24:00.600 --> 1:24:04.360 is cut out well there again By James. Turner when 1:24:04.400 --> 1:24:07.240 this is a back and forth game right now with 1:24:07.400 --> 1:24:09.120 chances coming at both, Ends. 1:24:09.040 --> 1:24:09.719 Yeah it really. 1:24:09.760 --> 1:24:12.479 Is and it feels like there's these big moments where 1:24:12.880 --> 1:24:15.000 all they're trying to do both sides is slow the 1:24:15.040 --> 1:24:17.040 other team. Down there's a lot of, momentum and so 1:24:17.160 --> 1:24:18.840 like we just saw With menti, there she cut out 1:24:18.880 --> 1:24:21.479 a pass that if The Washington spirit broke that, line 1:24:21.520 --> 1:24:22.080 they were kind. 1:24:21.960 --> 1:24:25.160 Of off to the.

Go but now Me offischal 1:28:02.479 --> 1:28:04.840 has come in For Sally minty ahead of this corner 1:28:04.960 --> 1:28:07.760 kick here in the sixty fifth minute With Seattle rain 1:28:07.840 --> 1:28:10.880 with a chance right now to put it in the. 1:28:10.920 --> 1:28:15.479 Box and here Is Coco mandaser putting it in towards 1:28:15.520 --> 1:28:18.479 the near post and is cleared away very quickly By. 1:28:18.760 --> 1:28:21.920 Washington another head up physical collision there top of the. 1:28:21.920 --> 1:28:24.519 Box no foul Called washington this time will clear it 1:28:24.560 --> 1:28:28.040 back out and it looks like we will get the 1:28:28.120 --> 1:28:30.960 first couple changes also For washington here as that ball 1:28:31.040 --> 1:28:34.360 is cleared out of. Bounds it will be two players 1:28:34.479 --> 1:28:39.360 now in For washington As May morgan And Andy. Sullivan 1:28:40.000 --> 1:28:43.080 morgan's a player that head Coach Laura harvey talked about 1:28:43.080 --> 1:28:46.160 extensively in the first match up a center back who is, 1:28:46.400 --> 1:28:48.280 very very key To washington's. 1:28:48.320 --> 1:28:50.760 Buildout, yeah she's a great. 1:28:50.760 --> 1:28:53.080 Player she's really good on the, ball and like you, 1:28:53.080 --> 1:28:55.160 Said Laura harvey's picture out as kind of the person 1:28:55.200 --> 1:28:57.680 that triggers the attack for The. Spirit she's able to 1:28:57.720 --> 1:29:00.439 really avert pressure very, well takes the all up the 1:29:00.479 --> 1:29:02.960 field comfortable on her, foot and so you know we're 1:29:02.960 --> 1:29:05.760 going to SEE i think some shift in their strategy 1:29:05.800 --> 1:29:07.680 here with The. Spirit you, know they're still going to 1:29:08.080 --> 1:29:11.160 find they're really you, know talented players up, top but 1:29:11.200 --> 1:29:13.960 by Putting morgan in, there that gives them some additional 1:29:14.040 --> 1:29:16.960 kind of power and sending those more direct balls THAT 1:29:17.200 --> 1:29:19.360 i might. Expect and she's taken out say who did 1:29:19.360 --> 1:29:21.280 a good, job but as we already, mentioned was a sub. 1:29:21.640 --> 1:29:23.800 Exactly and you Have Andy sullivan coming in there as 1:29:23.800 --> 1:29:27.040 well For Rebecca. Bernal that's kind of a more offensive 1:29:27.040 --> 1:29:29.880 midfielder move for more of a Defensive Rebecca bernal as. 1:29:29.920 --> 1:29:31.960 Well so those are the couple changes coming in the 1:29:32.000 --> 1:29:34.760 sixty sixth minute For washington in a one to one 1:29:34.840 --> 1:29:37.960 game right, Now so the head coaches have made their 1:29:38.240 --> 1:29:40.280 kind of first. Moves we see the three changes there 1:29:40.479 --> 1:29:44.240 For seattle coming in the form Of mandas here and 1:29:44.280 --> 1:29:47.439 Sam mesa at half and NOW Me. Official Now i'm, Wondering, 1:29:47.439 --> 1:29:49.840 stephanie if you think That mercatta will kind of drop 1:29:49.880 --> 1:29:51.600 back to that number ten role and you'll SEE Me 1:29:51.680 --> 1:29:54.120 official at the top of the. Formation that's kind of 1:29:54.200 --> 1:29:57.160 What i'm wondering If Laura harvey wants to see, Here, 1:29:57.400 --> 1:29:57.840 yeah that. 1:29:57.880 --> 1:29:59.599 Is WHAT i would, expect because you, know she talked 1:29:59.640 --> 1:30:03.080 about how how GOOD me officials hold up players, specifically 1:30:03.120 --> 1:30:04.960 and so when a player is that good at playing 1:30:05.000 --> 1:30:07.080 with her back to the, goal you want her as 1:30:07.120 --> 1:30:08.880 that high. Point you want her up, there and Then 1:30:08.920 --> 1:30:12.519 mercado can kind of pick up what she drops beneath, 1:30:12.560 --> 1:30:15.439 her and So official she's you, know expecting that from 1:30:15.560 --> 1:30:17.920 ficial up. Top and Then mercado has done a great 1:30:18.040 --> 1:30:20.880 job kind of lingering in that. Space and LIKE i, 1:30:20.920 --> 1:30:23.479 SAID i, think you, know Me menti's had good moments, 1:30:23.520 --> 1:30:27.240 today BUT i think this combination With fishal And mercado 1:30:27.320 --> 1:30:27.800 is much more. 1:30:27.880 --> 1:30:30.720 Dangerous here Is washington now trying to work up this right, 1:30:30.800 --> 1:30:33.560 side working against a couple Of seattle, players and that 1:30:33.640 --> 1:30:36.160 will be out now for a throw in here on 1:30:36.200 --> 1:30:39.599 the far side the right For washington as they try 1:30:39.640 --> 1:30:44.480 to Attack. Seattle here we're twenty four minutes and stoppags 1:30:44.560 --> 1:30:47.200 left to go in this game here At Audi, field 1:30:47.840 --> 1:30:50.640 As seattle has played a little bit less of a 1:30:50.680 --> 1:30:54.200 dominating performance than three weeks. Ago but you'd certainly right 1:30:54.200 --> 1:30:56.679 now at anytime in soccer that you want to win 1:30:56.680 --> 1:30:58.400 at home and you want to draw on the. Road 1:30:58.840 --> 1:31:02.360 And seattle got they win At, boston and right now 1:31:02.920 --> 1:31:05.320 they are in a position to get a point on 1:31:05.400 --> 1:31:07.960 the road here with twenty three minutes to. 1:31:07.960 --> 1:31:10.680 Go, yeah and it would be huge For. SEATTLE i 1:31:10.680 --> 1:31:12.479 mean not only a, win but even to get a 1:31:12.520 --> 1:31:14.559 draw against a really good as we've, said you, know 1:31:14.680 --> 1:31:17.120 number Four Washington spirit. Team they're they're high up in the, 1:31:17.160 --> 1:31:19.519 standings and so to be able to compete with these 1:31:19.560 --> 1:31:21.680 teams that are clearly on kind of good runs of 1:31:21.680 --> 1:31:25.880 play is really. IMPORTANT i, again we're not seeing enough 1:31:26.439 --> 1:31:29.920 kind of consistent offensive. MOVEMENT i think in this second, 1:31:29.960 --> 1:31:32.240 HALF i Think Laurel harvey will, say you, know she 1:31:32.320 --> 1:31:34.479 wants more chances out of this team based on the 1:31:34.560 --> 1:31:37.519 last you, know ten to fifteen minutes in this run 1:31:37.600 --> 1:31:38.280 of play ball. 1:31:38.200 --> 1:31:40.960 At the foot Of sandy, McIvor the goalkeeper For, washington 1:31:41.640 --> 1:31:45.200 not as much press right, Now Maddie dolleen hanging out 1:31:45.240 --> 1:31:48.639 on that left. Wing she's been the big player Pressing 1:31:49.280 --> 1:31:52.519 sandy McIvor in her, moments but definitely want to take 1:31:52.720 --> 1:31:56.000 a few moments that she can to breathe before perhaps pressing, 1:31:56.040 --> 1:31:58.120 again because in the final few minutes of this, game 1:31:58.600 --> 1:32:01.960 that is where the pressing could get very very important 1:32:01.960 --> 1:32:05.600 to force a. Mistake and it was you got to 1:32:05.640 --> 1:32:08.519 think For washington that eighty third minute goal that they 1:32:08.640 --> 1:32:12.439 scored In seattle a few weeks. Ago so a goal 1:32:12.479 --> 1:32:14.760 could come very very late for either one of these, 1:32:14.800 --> 1:32:17.840 teams especially after a mistake has already been made towards 1:32:17.880 --> 1:32:22.200 an own goal For washington that scored For seattle earlier 1:32:22.320 --> 1:32:25.240 today ball the way back To Claudia dicky hearing. Goal 1:32:26.160 --> 1:32:30.000 Also washington not Pressing seattle too awfully hard here in 1:32:30.040 --> 1:32:31.720 the sixty ninth minute. 1:32:31.880 --> 1:32:33.679 And BUG i just have to call It Jordan. 1:32:33.760 --> 1:32:37.400 Bugg multiple times, recently she's made such good plays defensively 1:32:37.439 --> 1:32:39.679 to pick off, passes you, know whether it's From rodman 1:32:39.760 --> 1:32:43.200 To kuwassie or or trying to Find kawassie through To. 1:32:43.240 --> 1:32:45.920 Cantore she's doing a great job of kind of holding 1:32:45.920 --> 1:32:48.519 that space and then winning it back and keeping the, 1:32:48.520 --> 1:32:50.800 ball so not only you, know breaking up that, play 1:32:50.840 --> 1:32:51.880 but then keeping it for The. 1:32:51.960 --> 1:32:54.280 Rain dolleene's trying to cross a ball in from that left, 1:32:54.280 --> 1:32:58.920 wing but it will not clear their defensive midfield as 1:32:59.160 --> 1:33:01.240 It's hirshfelt in the ball away and she'll try to 1:33:01.240 --> 1:33:02.679 get it all the way up to. Field The rodman 1:33:02.760 --> 1:33:05.040 now on the right wing that's out for a throw 1:33:05.080 --> 1:33:08.080 in As Trinity rodbin trying to get involved. Here AND 1:33:08.160 --> 1:33:09.760 i THINK i mentioned a few minutes, ago we can 1:33:09.800 --> 1:33:12.479 kind of go back to. It, Stephanie Trindy, rodbin such 1:33:12.479 --> 1:33:14.479 an amazing, talent one of the top players in this, 1:33:14.600 --> 1:33:18.759 league maybe the top young player in this entire. League 1:33:20.560 --> 1:33:23.320 and for the second straight, game The rain have pretty 1:33:23.360 --> 1:33:26.680 much shut her down and limited her ability to get 1:33:26.720 --> 1:33:28.839 the ball moving forward and we have a meaningful. 1:33:28.880 --> 1:33:31.240 Impact, YEAH i think she's, had you, know maybe one 1:33:31.320 --> 1:33:34.080 or two really good moments or chances on the, ball 1:33:34.120 --> 1:33:36.200 and besides, that she's been searching for it and so, 1:33:36.280 --> 1:33:39.360 again you, Know Laura harvey focuses on. It she says 1:33:39.360 --> 1:33:42.280 their best offense comes from their. DEFENSE i mean it's, defense, 1:33:42.320 --> 1:33:44.960 defense defense as a focus For. Harvey and you, know 1:33:45.040 --> 1:33:46.559 maybe some would say that's why they had a hard 1:33:46.600 --> 1:33:48.320 time score and some goals in the past couple of. 1:33:48.320 --> 1:33:51.080 Games but what that does is really make it tough 1:33:51.120 --> 1:33:54.680 for teams Like Washington spirit who have very effectively scored you, 1:33:54.680 --> 1:33:58.040 know multi goal games almost almost all of. THEM i, 1:33:58.040 --> 1:34:00.280 mean they're they're hard to keep off the, ball and 1:34:00.400 --> 1:34:02.439 so when you're able to do, that it's such a 1:34:02.479 --> 1:34:04.000 boost of confidence as a. 1:34:04.040 --> 1:34:08.559 Team Here's seattle this throwing now coming right at the midway. 1:34:08.600 --> 1:34:11.200 Point you have me official up top With, maddie With, 1:34:11.280 --> 1:34:13.000 mondaser With mercado right under. 1:34:13.040 --> 1:34:14.520 Him that four. 1:34:16.040 --> 1:34:19.240 Players pushing For seattle to get a winner here in 1:34:19.240 --> 1:34:23.000 the final twenty minutes here In.

Games during This World cup break and 1:34:49.840 --> 1:34:52.559 this would be a good result to have going into 1:34:52.600 --> 1:34:56.559 the break For. Seattle right, now here's The spirit now 1:34:56.600 --> 1:34:59.800 working up their left, side working on heavy pressure from 1:35:00.040 --> 1:35:01.960 on to see her and where to trying to win 1:35:02.000 --> 1:35:05.040 that ball, Back but it Is washington coming away with 1:35:05.080 --> 1:35:05.840 it on that left. 1:35:05.880 --> 1:35:12.080 Wing where to gin with mcclernan some good. 1:35:12.080 --> 1:35:15.040 Defending mclernan wins the ball back if he takes it 1:35:15.080 --> 1:35:17.679 back For seattle there right next to that corner.

Feet as a keeper. 1:36:38.439 --> 1:36:40.559 That low on the, ground you have to be so, 1:36:40.600 --> 1:36:43.240 sure so, certain and all of your passes have to 1:36:43.280 --> 1:36:43.679 have enough. 1:36:43.720 --> 1:36:46.640 Weight and she really really didn't give enough to that. 1:36:46.680 --> 1:36:47.320 One and that. 1:36:47.240 --> 1:36:50.320 Would have been devastating if they went to down or you, 1:36:50.320 --> 1:36:52.400 know down to one at this point in the game 1:36:52.439 --> 1:36:54.280 because of a giveaway like, that after all. 1:36:54.160 --> 1:36:55.559 Of the effort they've put in this. 1:36:55.640 --> 1:36:58.080 Game it sort of reminds you of those games earlier 1:36:58.080 --> 1:37:00.560 in the year Against, utah those giveaways that led to 1:37:00.640 --> 1:37:04.479 goals that led to.

Rodman rodman working 1:56:36.880 --> 1:56:42.080 through a couple. Defenders Here's Martinez, martinez and it's a 1:56:42.080 --> 1:56:45.040 great job By. Ah but there is the final. Whistle, 1:56:45.280 --> 1:56:48.320 rain we're trying to take something away there at the last, 1:56:48.360 --> 1:56:52.640 second as The Washington spirit we're working towards the. Box 1:56:52.680 --> 1:56:54.640 you thought there might have been one more chance to 1:56:54.640 --> 1:56:56.920 get up the field from their deepen on their own 1:56:57.000 --> 1:57:01.080 end with the referee will blow the fire whistle and 1:57:01.120 --> 1:57:04.200 this one goes. Final it's a two to one loss 1:57:04.240 --> 1:57:07.240 for The Seattle. Rain The Washington spirit get the win at. 1:57:07.240 --> 1:57:10.080 Home, yeah and this is this is a tough one 1:57:10.160 --> 1:57:10.400 for The. 1:57:10.480 --> 1:57:12.000 RAIN i, mean it really, is like we, said it 1:57:12.000 --> 1:57:13.920 felt like there was a law on the line, here 1:57:14.000 --> 1:57:16.000 even though it's a team that they recently, played even 1:57:16.040 --> 1:57:17.840 though they're going into a big. Break but that's part 1:57:17.880 --> 1:57:20.800 of the reason why it's it's setting the, narrative you, 1:57:20.800 --> 1:57:22.960 know of what's happened in this first part of the, 1:57:22.960 --> 1:57:25.600 season and, unfortunately the narrative for Their rerain right now 1:57:26.240 --> 1:57:28.640 is that they are having a very difficult time. Scoring 1:57:28.680 --> 1:57:30.640 and even though that switched a little bit In boston 1:57:30.680 --> 1:57:33.040 and that felt, good and you saw their. Confidence their 1:57:33.080 --> 1:57:35.560 only goal today, again you, know an own, goal and 1:57:35.920 --> 1:57:38.080 they had some, chances but definitely not as many as The. 1:57:38.120 --> 1:57:40.280 Spirit and so this is a tough one to walk 1:57:40.280 --> 1:57:42.680 away from because at, MOMENTS i think the majority of 1:57:42.720 --> 1:57:43.240 this game. 1:57:43.080 --> 1:57:43.560 Was fifty to. 1:57:43.560 --> 1:57:46.160 Fifty it's still only a two to one score, line 1:57:46.200 --> 1:57:48.320 and The Washington spirit's easily one of the best teams 1:57:48.320 --> 1:57:50.640 in the. League The rain is still in the middle 1:57:50.640 --> 1:57:52.720 of the. Pack so you, know don't want to be too. 1:57:52.800 --> 1:57:55.760 Pessimistic there's still plenty of season left to. Play they 1:57:55.760 --> 1:57:58.440 are a good, squad they're finding their, feet but this, 1:57:58.480 --> 1:57:59.240 one this one. 1:57:59.320 --> 1:58:01.520 Hurts, yeah this one certainly. Does it's a two to 1:58:01.560 --> 1:58:04.640 one win For washington with the. Lost Seattle rain now 1:58:04.680 --> 1:58:09.120 at tenth place IN nwsl four five and two with fourteen. 1:58:09.160 --> 1:58:13.520 Points with the, Win washington maintains their fourth place.

Rain we welcome you into the postgame, Show Jackson, 2:02:58.000 --> 2:03:02.320 Feltz Stephanie verdoye here On Sports radio Nine, am And, 2:03:02.360 --> 2:03:05.200 stephanie that is a hard one to, swallow the winning 2:03:05.240 --> 2:03:07.800 goal coming off of one of your own calfs on the. 2:03:07.840 --> 2:03:11.120 Deflection, yeah deflection goals are just, brutal, right because everyone's 2:03:11.200 --> 2:03:12.920 kind of looking around being, like what are you supposed 2:03:12.920 --> 2:03:14.960 to do about? THAT i, mean like you, Said dicky 2:03:15.000 --> 2:03:17.800 had it. Covered the defenders were in good, positioning there 2:03:17.840 --> 2:03:20.280 was good pressure on the. Ball it didn't seem like 2:03:20.280 --> 2:03:21.520 it was a shot that was going to go. In 2:03:21.560 --> 2:03:24.320 and it's almost like because of the defensive pressure on the, 2:03:24.320 --> 2:03:26.760 ball right you're almost. Punished and and you, know we 2:03:26.800 --> 2:03:28.840 said it off, Air we'll say it again on. Air 2:03:28.880 --> 2:03:32.960 this this one hurts mostly because The. Rain we're right 2:03:33.040 --> 2:03:35.960 there with a very Good spirit team and we would 2:03:35.960 --> 2:03:38.640 put you, know these eleven up against anyone in the 2:03:38.720 --> 2:03:41.120 league and feel like The rain are moving in a 2:03:41.160 --> 2:03:43.560 good position and in a good. Way they have a 2:03:43.640 --> 2:03:46.520 rhythm to their movement right, now they've scored some goals. 2:03:46.560 --> 2:03:50.280 Recently they have enough there to compete with. Anyone and 2:03:50.320 --> 2:03:52.160 the problem is is they Are it just feels like 2:03:52.160 --> 2:03:54.920 they're just inches every, time every good, game every good, 2:03:54.920 --> 2:03:55.760 team they're just inches. 2:03:55.800 --> 2:03:58.160 Away if that doesn't Hit jordan bugs. Calf this is 2:03:58.200 --> 2:04:01.240 a one to one final and it's at the home 2:04:01.320 --> 2:04:04.200 Of Washington, spirit a team who just played in THE 2:04:04.280 --> 2:04:08.000 Concacaf Champions League final Against Club, america which was a 2:04:08.040 --> 2:04:10.320 five to three, final and they went toe to toe 2:04:10.320 --> 2:04:14.360 with them all the way and is a deflection goal 2:04:14.720 --> 2:04:17.120 that ends up making this. ONE i think the other thing, 2:04:17.200 --> 2:04:20.080 too Is stephanie that we talked about since we started these. 2:04:20.120 --> 2:04:23.440 Broadcasts in That utah game a month, ago was the. 2:04:23.440 --> 2:04:26.760 Offense and in That utah, game we have the major 2:04:26.800 --> 2:04:30.120 injury To Jefs, fishlock and now we see these last two, 2:04:30.120 --> 2:04:33.480 Games Sally mente starting at the ten in. Place but 2:04:33.680 --> 2:04:36.360 The RAIN i think are really Missing Jes fishlock when 2:04:36.360 --> 2:04:37.800 it comes to scoring more. 2:04:37.840 --> 2:04:40.440 Goals they, ARE i, mean besides the fact That fishlock 2:04:40.520 --> 2:04:43.760 is one of you, know the most the rarest of, players, 2:04:43.840 --> 2:04:46.600 Right she's so, competitive she's so you just feel her 2:04:46.680 --> 2:04:49.000 energy even all the way up in the press. BOX i, 2:04:49.000 --> 2:04:51.120 mean everyone knows what kind of player she is and 2:04:51.200 --> 2:04:53.600 how she can change the, game and on top of 2:04:53.640 --> 2:04:57.520 that being a, leader being a really important part of 2:04:57.560 --> 2:05:01.000 the you, know the spirit of this. TEAM i think 2:05:01.040 --> 2:05:02.880 we're seeing it in the moments where you, know the 2:05:02.920 --> 2:05:05.280 game and maybe in the seventy fifth, minute it's going 2:05:05.360 --> 2:05:07.320 back and, forth it's ping, ponging and they've had some, 2:05:07.480 --> 2:05:10.840 chances but The rain's not putting it on on. Frame 2:05:11.040 --> 2:05:14.880 that's WHERE i See fishlock rallying the, troops getting everyone behind, 2:05:14.880 --> 2:05:16.600 her putting the team on her shoulders a little, bit 2:05:16.640 --> 2:05:19.360 and finding, something you, know for herself and for the. 2:05:19.400 --> 2:05:22.600 Team and so, unfortunately the you, know the good, part 2:05:22.640 --> 2:05:25.960 these young players are so. Skilled me official Sam mesa 2:05:26.000 --> 2:05:29.040 And Maria, DOMAS i Mean mercado ever you, know the 2:05:29.080 --> 2:05:33.680 youth and the potential is, there but they are Missing fishlock's. 2:05:33.680 --> 2:05:37.120 Presence they certainly. Are you, know we don't Do paul's 2:05:37.200 --> 2:05:40.760 Choice player of the matches for. LOSSES i would like 2:05:40.840 --> 2:05:44.000 to talk About Madison, curry Because Madison. Curry we talked 2:05:44.000 --> 2:05:47.080 about her skills and how good she was in The boston, 2:05:47.120 --> 2:05:49.800 game and then this game again she's the one who 2:05:49.840 --> 2:05:51.760 creates the own goal with a long ball over the 2:05:51.760 --> 2:05:55.200 top that gets popped in By washington's left. Back But, 2:05:55.280 --> 2:05:58.240 curry once, again her job On Trinity, rodman her job 2:05:58.440 --> 2:06:01.040 crossing balls in she had. ANOTHER i, mean if this 2:06:01.240 --> 2:06:03.120 was a one to one, game she would have been 2:06:03.120 --> 2:06:03.760 our player of the. 2:06:03.800 --> 2:06:04.400 MATCH i think. 2:06:04.480 --> 2:06:06.800 ABSOLUTELY i, mean you, know talk about in game of, 2:06:06.840 --> 2:06:10.120 inches there were multiple opportunities for The spirit that Without, 2:06:10.240 --> 2:06:12.440 curry you, know this would have been a different score. 2:06:12.480 --> 2:06:14.920 Line and so you, know it's hard to give sometimes 2:06:14.920 --> 2:06:17.440 defenders players of the match when there's been goals. Scored 2:06:17.480 --> 2:06:19.480 but the reality is that she had as much of 2:06:19.520 --> 2:06:21.080 an impact on that field today as anybody. 2:06:21.160 --> 2:06:23.760 Else she certainly. Did But Seattle ray not able to 2:06:23.800 --> 2:06:26.280 get the. Equalizer it's a two to one win For. 2:06:26.480 --> 2:06:28.360 Washington we'll take a break and we'll come back on 2:06:28.400 --> 2:06:30.800 the postgame show and we'll talk about what's next For 2:06:30.840 --> 2:06:34.600 seattle because it is a long.

Portland 2:10:41.000 --> 2:10:44.120 we'll be excited to be there for that, massive Massive 2:10:44.600 --> 2:10:47.560 darby when the break is.

Here three players will head on to international. 2:10:57.680 --> 2:10:58.320 Duty during this. 2:10:58.480 --> 2:11:01.880 Break we'll Have hollywood With, canada Has James, sterner who 2:11:01.920 --> 2:11:04.360 had a great game. Today she's going to be away With, 2:11:04.440 --> 2:11:08.720 wales and Then Claudia dickie away for The United states national. 2:11:08.760 --> 2:11:11.440 Team and you, KNOW i think a conversation should be 2:11:11.560 --> 2:11:15.000 had About Claudia dickie because there was obviously the free 2:11:15.080 --> 2:11:17.440 kick goal in the eighteenth minute that went over the 2:11:17.480 --> 2:11:20.400 head Of has And Claudia dickie we can talk about 2:11:20.640 --> 2:11:23.560 her role in that first. Goal and then also during 2:11:23.600 --> 2:11:26.240 the second half there was a massive giveaway there in 2:11:26.280 --> 2:11:29.600 her own box That Hal hirschfeldt picks up puts over the, 2:11:29.640 --> 2:11:32.800 bar but a massive chance there For. Washington and it's 2:11:32.880 --> 2:11:35.320 these MOMENTS i think for head Coach Emma hayes with 2:11:35.360 --> 2:11:38.320 the national, team you are Watching Claudia dickie in these. 2:11:38.360 --> 2:11:40.920 Moments, Yeah AND i think you, know one thing people 2:11:40.960 --> 2:11:43.040 see With Claudia dickey when they watch her play is 2:11:43.360 --> 2:11:48.960 she's just so obviously incredibly, talented you, know. TALENTED i 2:11:48.960 --> 2:11:51.680 mean the Way Emma hayes describer is just incredibly. Athletic 2:11:51.720 --> 2:11:53.800 the Way Laura harvey talks about her is just like 2:11:54.240 --> 2:11:57.080 the confidence that comes from that type of. Athleticism and 2:11:58.080 --> 2:12:00.440 she's great and she's taken the number one spot for 2:12:00.520 --> 2:12:03.080 the women's national team. Before AND i think the word 2:12:03.120 --> 2:12:04.760 That Laura harvey kept using for her is like this 2:12:04.840 --> 2:12:07.080 potential she has this, potential she can reach. 2:12:07.080 --> 2:12:07.680 It she's done it. 2:12:07.720 --> 2:12:11.960 Before but when you're prepping for international duty and club 2:12:12.040 --> 2:12:14.720 is your time to prove that to you, Know Emma 2:12:14.760 --> 2:12:18.320 hayes and the folks with the women's national, team these moments. 2:12:18.400 --> 2:12:20.600 Matter AND i think two things we saw From dickie 2:12:20.640 --> 2:12:22.840 today is a little bit of a lack of. Focus you, 2:12:22.880 --> 2:12:25.240 know she has the, talent she trusts herself to come 2:12:25.240 --> 2:12:28.120 out on those big, crosses but with her feet she 2:12:28.160 --> 2:12:31.760 needs to be. Perfect and with you, know a shot 2:12:31.800 --> 2:12:34.800 outside the eighteen Like santos had and just kind of 2:12:34.800 --> 2:12:37.240 whipping it around the back post like that was. All 2:12:37.480 --> 2:12:40.480 she is completely capable of shopping that. Ball it's almost 2:12:40.480 --> 2:12:43.160 like the problem with being too, athletic as people are, like, 2:12:43.240 --> 2:12:46.400 no we know you can get, that and so she 2:12:46.520 --> 2:12:48.400 needs to turn it up for this international. 2:12:48.440 --> 2:12:50.640 Duty the idea for the national team right now is 2:12:50.640 --> 2:12:52.840 that nobody has come out and grabbed that number one. 2:12:52.840 --> 2:12:55.360 Spot claudia right now is the number. One they had 2:12:55.400 --> 2:12:59.080 three games Against japan in the last couple. Months in 2:12:59.120 --> 2:13:01.840 those three, games two of the three were started By 2:13:01.840 --> 2:13:04.840 Claudia dicky and she right now is the choice By Emma. 2:13:04.840 --> 2:13:08.280 Hayes emahues joined us actually At luminfield for a broadcast 2:13:08.280 --> 2:13:11.839 about a month, ago and she talked goingly About Claudia dickie's. 2:13:11.840 --> 2:13:14.320 Skills but it is sort of the thing For claudia 2:13:14.320 --> 2:13:16.680 where you just want to make sure she understands the 2:13:16.800 --> 2:13:18.960 number one spot on the national team is there for 2:13:19.000 --> 2:13:21.000 you as a twenty six year. Old that is a 2:13:21.040 --> 2:13:24.000 spot that you could run for a. Decade, claudia you 2:13:24.280 --> 2:13:26.880 just gotta take. It and it's these moments in these 2:13:26.880 --> 2:13:29.560 games where you just, go, Oh, claudia you need to 2:13:29.920 --> 2:13:32.400 do a little bit more and be fully there. 2:13:32.600 --> 2:13:33.440 To grab that. 2:13:33.600 --> 2:13:34.560 Spot it's there for. 2:13:34.600 --> 2:13:34.680 You. 2:13:34.720 --> 2:13:37.840 Claudia, yeah, Absolutely and it's almost hard because you, know 2:13:37.960 --> 2:13:40.160 part of where confidence comes, FROM i think is some 2:13:40.240 --> 2:13:42.840 of this. Casualness you, know she's she's, not you, know 2:13:42.880 --> 2:13:45.840 getting on, herself and she's she does she is so, 2:13:46.000 --> 2:13:47.560 consistent she does what she needs to. 2:13:47.600 --> 2:13:49.960 Do but she is she's. 2:13:49.840 --> 2:13:52.040 Twenty, six so you, know maybe there's a little bit 2:13:52.040 --> 2:13:54.080 there of like turn it, up turn it. Up And 2:13:54.120 --> 2:13:55.920 i'm sure she's hearing that from all. Ends she doesn't 2:13:55.920 --> 2:13:57.280 have to hear it from. Us she knows what she 2:13:57.320 --> 2:14:00.800 needs to. Do today wasn't her best match she, made 2:14:01.200 --> 2:14:03.720 she still made some good saves and she's an incredible. 2:14:03.800 --> 2:14:04.240 Keeper she. 2:14:04.400 --> 2:14:06.680 Is so she's away with The United states, Again James 2:14:06.720 --> 2:14:10.040 turner away With, wales and then Also hollywood With canada 2:14:10.240 --> 2:14:12.440 again the. Rain they had this long break here and 2:14:12.480 --> 2:14:14.800 for the rest of the. TEAM i Think stephanie that 2:14:14.840 --> 2:14:17.120 the last question before we go into this long break 2:14:17.120 --> 2:14:21.360 for our broadcasts is where this team needs to move 2:14:21.520 --> 2:14:23.960 in the next month and a. Half how they need 2:14:24.000 --> 2:14:27.240 to get. Better how is. It maybe it's as simple 2:14:27.520 --> 2:14:29.520 as doing a lot of work on the training pitch 2:14:29.760 --> 2:14:32.480 with head Coach Laurel harvey to get this attack. Moving 2:14:32.800 --> 2:14:35.680 but clearly the question that we're going to start the 2:14:35.720 --> 2:14:39.560 pregame show with for That portland match In july is 2:14:39.560 --> 2:14:41.240 is the attack going to be? 2:14:41.360 --> 2:14:41.600 There? 2:14:42.040 --> 2:14:43.640 Exactly is the attack going to be? 2:14:43.680 --> 2:14:46.000 There that that's the big, Question and SO i think 2:14:46.040 --> 2:14:49.320 the focus here in this break is. Confidence when you 2:14:49.400 --> 2:14:51.520 are the, coach you Know Laura harvey knows what she's. 2:14:51.560 --> 2:14:53.640 Doing when you're the coach of a team that's going 2:14:53.680 --> 2:14:57.440 through some of these kind of inconsistent performances with finishing 2:14:57.480 --> 2:14:59.920 and with getting some goals on the, board what you 2:15:00.120 --> 2:15:02.920 need is the players all individually to one believe in 2:15:02.960 --> 2:15:06.400 themselves and as a unit up, top and so how 2:15:06.440 --> 2:15:08.640 you do. That lots of time, together you, know lots 2:15:08.680 --> 2:15:12.839 of individual work finishing all that good stuff for the technical. 2:15:12.880 --> 2:15:15.640 Elements BUT i think a lot of it is building 2:15:15.720 --> 2:15:18.840 in that trust and that, confidence and she's better at 2:15:18.840 --> 2:15:22.480 it than. Anyone but it will absolutely be the. FOCUS 2:15:22.520 --> 2:15:24.120 i think she knows. THAT i think she knows she 2:15:24.240 --> 2:15:26.480 likes to focus on. Defense but right, now the biggest 2:15:26.520 --> 2:15:29.800 question is who is going to consistently put balls in 2:15:29.840 --> 2:15:31.600 the back of the net for the. Rain and the 2:15:31.640 --> 2:15:33.360 one good thing though THAT i will, say for the 2:15:33.440 --> 2:15:36.600 rain going into this, break sometimes it's a blessing to 2:15:36.640 --> 2:15:39.320 not have too many players going away on international. Duty they, 2:15:39.400 --> 2:15:41.120 have you, know they have a break in, there but 2:15:41.120 --> 2:15:42.600 they also are going to have some time with a 2:15:42.640 --> 2:15:47.120 good core group to, really you, know shift what their 2:15:47.200 --> 2:15:48.920 future looks like for the rest of the season. 2:15:49.080 --> 2:15:51.480 Exactly so we will see what this attack looks. Like 2:15:51.720 --> 2:15:54.920 the season will resume On july fourth In kansas or 2:15:54.960 --> 2:15:57.800 In North.
