I’ve wanted Kössler to start more post WC break but her runs tonight are a bit off from where her teammates are and where the space is, it’s confusing me
Very sparse night at Centennial stadium. They sold at least 9k but most folks like me did not have success in reselling their spares tonight
Lots of tickets going around for the Summit game tonight. The Summit app does not let you list tickets below face value and the club adds a 20% fee on season ticket resales. Context for when people complain about empty seats during a “sell out” game.
Been waiting to hear where PPM was headed since she clearly hadn’t returned to the US since May and Crystal Palace was not on my bingo card!
I’ve been wondering how the club and Kurtz will handle her iron woman streak likely ending, with no shade to her but these 3 game weeks feel unnecessary to force every minute every week. Curious if there’s something ceremonial tonight vs NC to have it end with a late sub, we’ll see
Happy to make it to one of Tobin’s official retirement games, although opposite coast from where I played against her in high school 😅

One tidbit from a convo with the Summit ticketing team last night is that they’re claiming the 10% increase is actually a 3% increase plus a to be announced friendly added to the schedule… not sure that friendly warrants the same pricing as league matches but here we are 🥲
I like Jenna as a person and I think she’s a decent player, something didn’t quite work out in London but she still has a UWCL winners medal 🤷♀️
BREAKING: Bay FC has agreed to a transfer for American fullback Jenna Nighswonger from Arsenal. Fee believed to be in the $200K vicinity. Nighswonger won a 2024 Olympic gold medal w/ #USWNT and #NWSL Championship w/ Gotham. ESPN story w/ @emilyskeogh.bsky.social 👇
Another game where Summit didn’t put away their chances & gave up a very clear chance the other way 🤷♀️ In other news, Cushing kids were behind me & the daughter’s favorite English player is Chloe Kelly & Summit player is Janine (she couldn’t think of a favorite men’s player and tbh I respect that)
We may have a penalty but we’ve often thought this before only for VAR to overrule it
Thomas and flint about to come in
Thomas and Flint move to the bench. Kössler and Means start
The scene is hot… even at almost 6pm 🥲
Setting the scene at Centennial Stadium 💪
It has been brought to my attention that I may be the only Summit fan to have attended her final Liverpool game in person and her first Summit game in person 😅 (but @eric-bens.bsky.social makes it 2 ppl)
Some more on Gemma Bonner signing with Denver Summit FC, including what she provides on and off the field for this team: rockymountainsoccerjournal.com/summit-fc-si...
It is a bold move from the Summit to initiate season ticket renewals when they haven’t remedied all of the obstructed view seating at the temp stadium they didn’t advertise when people bought tickets… I get that there’s a long waitlist but a little risky to not give it some more time to get better

Surely the Crawley pitch won’t be frozen in September 🤞🙏 Arsenal women open the season away to Brighton before playing Palace at home
I haven’t seen the chart lately of xG vs goals scored but denver have to have one of the worst differentials there which hopefully means they eventually regress to the mean by over performing at some point but also just some attackers that need to be more clinical
Lmao I hadn’t even gotten to second half stoppage time how did Denver not get a point out of this
