She's always thinking worst case scenario so that she is there to either hit somebody or pick the ball up and regain possession. And I think you're seeing that with the spirit. It's not that they're worse off or that they don't have good enough players. You're just seeing the organization break down where I think Andy was the linchpin for it to be so successful.

And we're seeing teams break through the middle of the pitch a lot easier, get to go at their back line much easier. And Spirit just have to then respond on the front line. They still have a ton of talent, especially having every rookie on your team score a goal in a single calendar season is not an easy feat.

They have a great coach who's come from Barcelona and won everything you possibly could have. But it's going to be a tactical game of shutting down Gotham's attack and then outscoring Gotham.

I was like, dang, what did I say? I love it. Standing on business. Yes. I say so many things. I have no idea. Yeah, I think going up against Gotham plays in such a fun way that's Tactically, really interesting to watch. They play with a really high back line. Everybody's in front of the half, almost. You look at the last time they played Spirit.

Trinity Rodman had a couple breakaways over the top. You had Ulay Sar, who sadly is out. But Ashley Hatch is just as fast. Britton Ratcliffe is just as fast, who can take advantage of the way Gotham plays. But then when they do have the ball, it's such a beautiful, poetic... They move it quickly. They're constantly switching positions. They have these crazy shots on goal.

Estera doesn't know how to just score one goal. She scores a brace every time she's on the pitch. Like they have such a talented team and no starting lineup is the same. But I think that that can also hurt them, not just against the spirit, but against the potential Kansas City with a Shawinga or Orlando with Barbara Banda.

well given their star power and the talent that they have what i guess like what will be gotham's achilles heel then their high back line i think uh any team if i'm looking at a scouting report and i'm one of the players that's thinking especially as a forward thinking about going against them i'm thinking as soon as we win it send a ball over the top and let's run

Most teams haven't had, Gotham hasn't had to necessarily respect them so much in the front line that they play against. And I think Spirit with Trinity Rodman, Ashley Hatch, Brittany Ratcliffe is a team that they will have to respect. And maybe, actually, you know, I know Juan Carlos.

He's not going to adjust at all, but they're going to have to try to close down those passes that can go long from a Casey Krueger.

I mean, start one of their stars. I mean, you have Esther, who's brilliant at top. Ella Stephens had a great breakout season. I think Lynn Williams, you have Crystal Dunn, who could potentially play like Yasmeen Ryan. They have so many players that I think individually can cause chaos for Spirit's backline.
