Gotham FC snatched a 3-2 victory from our Seattle Reign FC yesterday, a gut-wrenching loss that stings deep, even with all the World Cup madness swirling around. Our squad fought hard at home, in a match that even had extra hydration breaks due to the conditions, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win. You just hate to see it when the Emerald City faithful show up and the result doesn’t go our way.
Reign’s Battle for Every Inch
That 3-2 loss to Gotham FC is a tough pill to swallow. Our Reign gave it their all, playing with those extra hydration breaks, but it wasn’t enough to hold off Gotham. Over in other NWSL action, we saw Denver Summit FC beat Portland Thorns FC 2-1 and Bay FC absolutely dominate North Carolina Courage with a 3-0 shutout. While the NWSL is bringing some incredible games, this one felt personal for us. We need to lock it down and bring that Seattle grit back on defense.
World Cup Heats Up as Messi and Mbappé Chase History
Shifting gears to the global stage, the FIFA World Cup is winding down, but man, is it intense. France took on England for third place in Miami Gardens, with England taking it 4-2. Oof. And get this: Mbappé just equaled Messi’s World Cup goal record. The grand final between Argentina and Spain is set for Sunday, and you know everyone’s gonna be glued to that. Even Messi and Brady were caught in KD’s all-star selfie, which is just wild. It’s the penultimate day, and the stakes are so high.
The football world is buzzing, but honestly, our focus is still on the Reign. They’ve got another chance coming up, and we’ll be there cheering them on, no matter what. Time to bounce back!
