r/SanDiegoWaveFC

I swear she is just a traffic cone out there. There are so many times where she hesitates and then is caught in between with her pants down. She was terrible in LA. She’s been a liability in San Diego. I would much rather see Freeman in goal because at least she has potential. We know what Didi is, and she’s not it.

anyone have the clip of Mimi getting a yellow in tonight’s match

San Diego Wave escaped Houston with a point after a chaotic second half that included a Dudinha wonder goal, a controversial overturned red card, multiple late goals, and nonstop pressure from both teams in a 2-2 draw.

Can the Wave flip the script this time?

1. Congrats to Byars! First start, first goal. Long time coming, definitely worthy of celebration. I would have liked her to take the shot before passing to Ascanio. She also needs to learn to change her pace. Now she’s mostly jogging the whole time.

2. Congrats to Ascanio. She’s showing tremendous growth from last season. A bonehead by the goalie but we’ll take it.

3. It was the second clean header goal from a corner this season. We are not tall but please stop wasting corners on shorts. Kick it in and see what happens. Put more players in the box (now only 5). So many goals happen from a mess in front of the goal.

4. Excellent game by McNabb. One bad mistake in the second half but overall she’s having an excellent season.

5. Love Moroni going up against Rodman. Shutting her down. She’s great except the last 15 minutes when she gets tired and sloppy and reckless in almost every game. There was a close call for a potential penalty.

6. MVZ continues to shine. What a season for her. She should have taken the shot in the second half though!!

7. What a luxury to replace three attackers at half and continue to be equally dangerous. We are stacked. Use subs and keep them fresh.

8. Godfrey is really good. Especially in transition offense.

9. I wonder what Ludmila needs to shine. She’s working hard but not living up to her promises.

10. I love the energy Wynalda brings in. I want to see more of her.

11. #9 is wide open in this team. When is Leon coming back? Little talked about is her clean first touch and ability to be an anchor up high in the offense. That would be invaluable in this team and we haven’t had that yet this season.

12. Still early but Haracic seems to be the level of a starter of a winning team.

13. We had a few good opportunities in transition from a very low and risky buildup from our goal line. But we can skip that altogether. Too risky.

14. Washington was playing dirty. Especially the first half. Every contest involved a little push and shove that often go under the radar. The ref did a decent job calling a few of them to keep it in check. Stay classy Wave.

15. It was one of the highest level matches I’ve seen in this league. Could have gone either way. Well earned 3. Provisional #1!!

I am officially the president of the Morroni fan club. She locked down Rodman all game, made her switch sides. Played like a dawg

Trying to decide if I should splurge for tickets near the away side/player tunnel for the Orlando vs SD game or if my usual supporter section tickets will be good enough, in the hopes of getting Marta's autograph?

Does anyone have experience trying to get Marta's autograph at any games or specifically at san diego stadium?

I'm anticipating her potentially retiring soon and I grew up watching her, found my childhood poster of her, would really love for her to sign it or get a photo with her but funds are tight so thought I'd ask here before deciding to splurge or not!
