Interesting to see Fox on the left and Battle on the right. I thought it woul dbe the reverse. Baum on the right, too. Intriguing. Mariona playing further forward. Exciting.
I've recently started watching more NWSL and honestly I think the quality of WSL is a bit higher....you don't get this pace or skill level with the NWSL.
LCL I didn't think was playing even all that well from the half I watched of them....they basically are a completely different squad and I think it will take them a moment to gel
"scored some hugely important goals for arsenal" yeah I suppose you could say that a UWCL winning goal in the final against Barcelona is a bit important

Oh god this ref

NOT a yellow

Nice to see Wälti again
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
imagine telling someone 5 years ago that fran kirby and lia walti would play on the same team
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2d
We need to score a second. They're knocking on our door a bit too much for my comfort.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2d
Job's done...need to do better though
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2d
WHAT A DEBUT GOAL
Aesecakes@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 2d
Nice!

Where’s the ice cream truck?
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2d
van domselaar not back yet. Misa starts, and we're gonna get to see the Little-Stanway midfield. Should be fun!

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Very exciting. I wonder why Mariona and not Maanum with Little and Stanway behind her tbh, but obviously Mariona's very capable of playing there.
Aesecakes@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 2d
Seems to have been a red herring, Fox on the right and Baum on the left.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
makes sense. Bit funny though. Granted, I'm pretty sure they can all play either side.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
also a bit funny that quite a few of our new lasses aren't even on the bench lol
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
(Cerci, Reuteler, de Almeida, and Damm)

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
I mean, the WSL has certainly improved a lot these past few years. Two Euros wins and good attendances have been doing a real number.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Renée really said no more slow starts we are getting all the heavy artillery out now
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
I reckon the Chelsea and United results hyped us up a bit. Mad that they've already dropped points. Obviously LCL is good, but still.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
LCL I didn't think was playing even all that well from the half I watched of them....they basically are a completely different squad and I think it will take them a moment to gel
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
alright, well, good on paper at least. I admit I didn't watch that game.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
DvD definitely still balling out though. I have her as my pick who can challenge Bunny for the golden boot
Aesecakes@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2d
I just saw the DvD goal. A beauty.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
I don't think Bunny's getting challenged lol, but I certainly wouldn't mind DvD doing it!
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Third kit today by the way!
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Ooo, real chance for Russo there but some very good goalkeeping that.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Nnadozie is legit good
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Robbed of a corner there. We need more VAR lol. Pretty sure nowadays in the PL / mens WC that's now given to us right?
Aesecakes@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2d
The timezone is good for me for this one. I will be watching it live.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Same here, watching from an Albanian VPN lol
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Whewwww. That second half was a bit dull from us and a bit nervy on the other end. Both teams could've scored more for sure.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3d
We've got a real opportunity here with both Chelsea and United dropping points already.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Smithy is a bit jumpy today
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Lessi should've done better there
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Ngl, bit worried for Batlle. Not got the pace to match up with Seike, it seems.
Aesecakes@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2d
Team announcement via arsenal.com
via Cannon Stats (edit - he's not labelled Baum 19 starting on the right wing and Misa in goal):
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Good stop from Misa there.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Not a bad attempt from that corner there.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Brighton are quite decent.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Good effort by Kimmy
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Omg Lisa really is what we've been missing
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Imma be so real that could already be the goal of the season in my books, the angle's so tight, no idea how she's got that in.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
I also don't know how... it hit the crossbar as well
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
I don't think anyone else on either of our teams could score that angle ngl
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Bukayo maybe
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Oh, true. He'd scored a few like that a few years ago. He's never getting allowed that space nowadays though.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Just gonna watch the Baum goal on repeat over halftime I think. What a goal. I'm still amazed by it.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Oh god can that portion of fans get rid of that chant? It's crappy and childish.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
which one?
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
The goal kick one
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
can't say I know that one ngl
Aesecakes@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 2d
It’s not great
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
here come stinaaaaaaaaaaa
Aesecakes@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 2d
One nil to The Arsenal. Phew.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Shit we were lucky that didn't go in
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
"scored some hugely important goals for arsenal" yeah I suppose you could say that a UWCL winning goal in the final against Barcelona is a bit important
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d
Oughta been a better shot. We'll allow it though given her goal.
