Ferry looking to test free agency soon?? Team seems like they should be better than what the record indicates

[Sonny]

There is good balance to the squad, nobody is standing out as the main player but players keep stepping up with good performances.

13-5-2 is looking good when you were 9-4-1 not that long ago.

Yeah I have no idea why they're so low on the standings because their roster is stacked. They've got a handful of players with higher overalls than mine at the same position but

I can't see if Ferry is in the final year of her contract unless I send out a scouting report on her. Would be nice to just see that though without having to sim a few days to get information.

Facts. We started the season a lil shaky but that 5-game win streak really pushed us ahead. We're falling back down to earth though maybe at the wrong time since the playoffs are around the corner. Still holding down #1 though

NWSL, Matchday 21: September 19, 2031 - Lynn Family Stadium, Louisville, KY

1 vs. 1


Alisha Lehmann picked up her second red card this season on a questionable call from the official.

LOUISVILLE — Racing Louisville was in full control of today's match against Angel City until a red card left them without a player on the pitch.

Shortly after, Angel City's Maddi Torre evened the score with a header from Ami Mori.

As a result of the red, Alisha Lehmann will be suspended in their next match against Seattle Reign FC at Lumen Field.

"Alisha plays with a lot of heart & intensity.." Racing's coach, Filipa Patão, said when asked about the red card. "We'll miss her intensity in the next match but it is what it is for now."

A goal from Ella Palis early in the match pushed her season total to 11, positioning her 4th among NWSL' scorers this season.

While fans didn't get the result they expected today, Racing still stands strong atop the table with 45 points. Gotham FC trails in second place with 38 points as three regular season games remain before the NWSL Playoffs.

I wasn't too happy with that red. I thought it was a good tackle
