Today is one of those days were I feel like I turn into a cartoon character and shake my face from side to side and make some sort of weird noise to sorta make sense of the flurry of emotions I’m feeling. And of course, it doesn’t work at all but I do it anyway.
Pride is what stands out. Absolute pride. To travel to Germany, with an extremely depleted squad, against a massive club, who has 2 of my favorite players EVER (both Dutch and former Arsenal players), to go down early… to give away a cheap goal… the doubt… tension.. BUT… enter the grit… the determination… the fight.
McCabe was INMENSE… Captaining the team and fighting as always. Noelle was all over… LIA WALTI YOU QUEEN… I mean, I could go on and on.
In a sport where people are obsessed with trophies and winning I have to tell you that yesterday felt seismic. And to me, we already won. This is insanity and it doesn’t make sense but yesterday feels like it shouldn’t have happened but it did.
There’s progress and success and then there is defying the odds in an unthinkable way. It’s hard enough without Kim Little FFS… add 4 more. But just the way the whole thing transpired feels surreal, but its not! It happened. It’s real and it feels fucking great.
Nobody seems to be able to assimilate it. Absolute scenes.
To be fair I don’t think Wolfsburg played all that well. I think they were shocked at what was happening too.
Anyway… hope you have a great start to your week.
New pod up right around when I wake up.
Zzzzz
