Very very annoying. I get that ads are important to keep the lights on, but getting jump scared with an ad loads and starts playing music is not fun. Happening to me relatively frequently on chrome for android no matter how often I report them.

How are we feeling? My take:

Pros:

• we signed a new striker with an exciting player profile
• we solved our self inflicted 4 goalkeeper conundrum

Cons:

• we, still, for some reason, didn't sign an attacking mid where we most need an upgrade
• the striker we signed is unproven
• we still didn't sign any competition at left wing
• we have not signed a ceiling raising player in years
• Mercado remains on an option that expires soon...
• the Huitema money is wasting away and will soon be unusable
• we haven't moved on from players clearly out of Harvey's plans (hashtag free Adames)

Make it make sense. While every team (excluding Chicago, at least we aren't Chicago, sorry Chicago) is making big moves, we sit here doing nothing. What is the front office even doing....

Edit: We extended Mercado, huzzah! Closing in on the bare minimum haha.

Are you tired of how things are being run at this club? Are you ready to make your voice heard? Well, now is the time. 

After years of mediocrity on and off the pitch the fans need to start calling for change. Throughout the ages there has been one constant form of protest in leagues throughout the world:

Booing.

We must boo mediocrity at the fulltime whistle.

If we get humiliated again by Portland the fans must make the ownership group hear us. What amounts to potentially the objective worst loss in top flight soccer last time in Providence Park aside, some lowlights this year include:

• no first team signings in 548 days
• 1 win in our last 8
• 2nd worst attendance
• 2nd fewest goals scored
• 3rd lowest xG
• 3rd fewest scoring attempts
• bottom 5 in undeperforming xG
• bottom half in goals conceded
• bottom half in xG conceded

These are just a few areas that we can see us, again, falling short as a club. None of this is new; this has been happening for 3 straight seasons. 

This is a call for more investment, more ambition, more tactical acumen, and more end product. **The Seattle Reign should not be a team comfortable at the bottom of the table**. This is fans saying enough is enough.

Note: please do not boo during the match. This is not a protest of the players; save it for after the match (or half time too if we're really getting stomped out there).

I hope we don't need this. I hope we show up against Portland. But, when we don't, we should be ready.
