A thread on the KC Current/Gotham VAR decisions from yesterday. #KCBaby #GothamFC #NWSL

The #LAFC availability report isn't nearly as bad as #SportingKC's. David Martínez - International Duty (Out) Nathan Ordaz - International Duty (Out) Jude Terry - International Duty (Out) Cengiz Ünder - Leg (Out)

Thommy is a new addition on the list. Jake Davis is completely off the report. Have to imagine it's between him and Memo to start in the midfield (assuming Manu and Bartlett stay, there are literally no other healthy mids). #SportingKC

Hutton on the weather: "We were swimming." Cooper: "Honestly, it's fun.... we didn't only weather the storm of Gotham, we weathered the literal storm." #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Hutton: "We give the ref a lot of props for controlling the game." #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Hutton thinks about 200 kids from her former youth clubs were in attendance today! Not to mention all her friends and family (she's from New York). #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Vlatko: "It's so good to have Michelle [Cooper] back." #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Vlatko: "It's hard to replace Lo [LaBonta]." "I'm glad she's doing better and recovering well... Hopefully we'll see her soon." #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Vlatko on the Esther goal being taken away: "Obviously it was offside." "I want to take this opportunity to give props to the referees.... I want to praise them for not just the accuracy... but for the bravery." #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Zorhan Bassong in the starting lineup. #SportingKC

Own goal from DiBernardo but it's full time nearly right after. Clean sheet vanishes, but KC Current win 2-1 on the road. Gotham have a bad record, but they are better than their record. This is a big win. #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Geyse FINALLY in the book for persistent infringement. So many petty fouls. #KCBaby #GFCvKC

I low-key think the NWSL sort likes (non-serious) injuries. They can sell ads... #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Wheeler needs to cross that early to Cooper and it's 3-0 instead of waiting too long then shooting straight at the keeper. #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Esther looked to have pulled one back but after a long confusing delay, the goal is taken away. Lots of questions: - Wheeler played the ball (but was it "intentional") - And had play already restarted before the review? #KCBaby #GFCvKC #GothamFC

No PK given. It's a tough angle. Sharples is clearly in the act of tucking her arm behind her back. #KCBaby #GFCvKC #GothamFC

Lindsay: "You have to continue to push for these moments." Oatley: "So to speak." #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Stats at the half: Fouls: 5-3 Gotham Shots: 8-3 Gotham SOG: 2-3 KC Score: 2-0 KC Current #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Another dangerous moment from Chawinga but she's offside. #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Sonnet in the book. The broadcast seems to think it's a bad call but she has no chance for the ball and sticks her body in there. Yellow all day. #KCBaby #GFCvKC

Ella Stevens subs out with an injury in the first half. That's a big blow for Gotham. #KCBaby #GFCvKC

While KC are up 2-0, it seems like Gotham is going to find the back of the net. They have to keep their foot on the accelerator and look for more goals. #KCBaby

Great team goal!! Cooper with the assist to Chawinga in the end. 2-0!! #KCBaby

WHAT A START!! High pressure forces the turnover, Chawinga to Cooper and it's 1-0 early!! #KCBaby

Rocky replaces Lo. Wheeler returns to the starting lineup over Izzy. #KCBaby

Do you love #SportingKC or the KC Current #KCBaby Do you have a significant other you watch it with? Or wish your significant other would watch soccer with you? Listen to the only Kansas City husband and wife podcast team, For the Glory KC!

Boston Legacy FC's second attempt at a crest and the lessons they learned from their terrible initial rollout. #NWSL www.nytimes.com/athletic/640...

Manu! #SportingKC

These two are a delight. #SportingKC

Sheena has hair takes. Get your shot glasses ready! #SportingKC

KC Current are building a 2,000 seat stadium at their training facility. I can't read the rest behind the paywall if anyone has a KCBJ sub. www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/n...

That is unfortunate news for Lo and Nichelle. Both injured during international duty. Lo went down very late against Jamaica. #KCBaby

KC Current II lost their opener at #TST7v7 youtu.be/rekxaLJfR4k?...

Bassong will be returning to #SportingKC after this weekend, he's not on the Gold Cup roster.

Revenue went from $3 million in 2021 to $36m last year. Very interesting read on the Longs and the KC Current. #KCBaby #NWSL www.forbes.com/sites/justin...
