Yesterday’s pre season match in DC was pretty interesting, to say the least. I didn’t particularly find it very interesting or thoroughly informative for that matter but there were a few things that stood out to me that are worth talking about with the biggest and most important of all being the debut of the third kit.
I can’t explain to you how hideous I find the current away kit. Obviously it’s all a matter of opinion and there are no right on wrong ones, but that second kit is just about the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and it sucks that we’re gonna have to see it so often. It’s truly awful to me and the more I see the girls use the kit they wore yesterday, the better. The Stella kit was one I also found ugly as hell until I saw one in person and I changed my mind and there was also the added value and aura of it being a bespoke kit for the women’s squad and I truly wish something like that was done again.
There are not many things I enjoy more in life than watching Leah, Kim, Katie and Beth play football on the same pitch together. So for that fact alone yesterday was good? But like I said before, I wasn’t enthralled and didn’t see anything exciting other than Kuhl’s vision and strength, and she also seems a foot taller… and Kafaji was really, really good.
Of course its a friendly and not everything is going to be perfect and not every player is gonna be fully fit and ready to go but with a few matches coming up very soon, the sooner we know, as fans, what to expect on the pitch the better for our anxiety and for our expectations and assumptions.
I haven’t heard any updates on Manu and hope she’s ok and without trying to sound ungrateful or rude, I’m excited to see Daphne because she’s my favorite keeper in the world and I can’t get over the fact that she plays for us and of course she has to play in order to play for us haha.
What I saw yesterday was basically a continuation of the predictable and pragmatic way the current manager has decided this team’s identity is. With that said, let’s see what happens next match against Chelsea and I’m also curious to know how they line up and how active their new players are, etc.
But going back… imagine if we had a better manager, someone actually good who would energize and unite the fanbase and players. It’s not much to ask for because it’s what we deserve and I’m here to tell you that if you feel the current manager is what we deserve, you are wrong and you deserve better.
Can’t wait to this damn season to start.
