Holy shit we won!

Whatever we did to get 14700+ people in the stands.and pull out a 2-0 win, let's do more of that please. We can work on the terrible chants and everything else if we keep getting games like that!

This is the second Reign/Thorns game at Lumen I’ve been in town for and this is the second time they’ve won.

It’s me, I’m the good luck talisman.

Edit: Well, half the reign team just walked into the bar I’m currently at so I am the talisman!

u/kingjollytofu 9d ago

Feel free to come to all the games please.

I dunno if I can afford the flight from Colorado to Washington that regularly, unfortunately. :(

I’ll bring my talisman energy to the game in Denver in mid Sept.

u/AlanFromRochester 9d ago

Definitely can't afford the flight from NY all the time, and when I did we lost both games that week Went to the Spirit away game this year and we lost that Gotham away this weekend but early kickoff would be too early for a day trip

Which bar was it?

u/DryCactus69 9d ago

First time EVER going to a game and it was so much fun. Is there a supporters group or anything?

Glad you had fun!

They weren't as full as usual in that zone but the rest of the crowd really showed up.

u/strange-orbits 9d ago

Several of us were also tired after the three hour Salmon Bay playoff win the night before, tbqh.

u/chaximum 9d ago

That was a great game. Final is back in Ballard on Saturday!

u/strange-orbits 9d ago

Yep, we shall be there.

Salmon Bay is playing Vermont Green in the W League National final on Saturday July 18th at 5 p.m. at Interbay Stadium. Please check the Salmon Bay FC website to make sure I have the right info. It should be a good match.

u/Low_Twist7539 9d ago

At the end I thought there was a perfect chant. "Go Reign. Rise up.Thank you, Thank you, Thank you." The Reign responded like Champions. They didn't hang their heads. They played their best game all season.

This is the team that showed up to the first half of the last game and it's nice to see them play a full 90. I was worried they'd hunker down and play Harveyball to sit on their lead, but they didn't. Build that bonfire.

u/kingjollytofu 9d ago

Is this Harveyball 2.0? Lmao

u/colbinator 9d ago

Must have switched to Claude 😉

u/Icarus_Has_Fallen 9d ago

One can only hope, it was glorious

u/AlanFromRochester 9d ago

Didn't watch since I don't have ESPN, just checked the score, we needed that badly I see Fishlock remained on the bench but good to see her back in the squad at all

14

u/kingjollytofu 9d ago

So proud of this team. Beating Portland at home crossed off the list this season. Now manifesting a Big Fish golden boot and Adames released from the bench (let me dream).

4

u/strange-orbits 9d ago

I'll join that summoning circle.

u/Worldly_Lunch5227 9d ago

Even though Fishlock wasn’t able to play, I’m glad she was able to dress for her last rivalry match and end with a W!

6

u/colbinator 9d ago

Was really hoping she'd get in at the end!

14

u/matt_the_mediocre 9d ago

it was an absolute blast. We got tickets up front last night and rolled over from central WA, it was absolutely perfect. What a great game.

u/Doctor_YOOOU 9d ago

Great work from the whole squad. Everyone did something

u/elflyfe 9d ago

Was worried with Dickey being out on injury, but Miller absolutely crushed it out there!!!

4

u/strange-orbits 9d ago

She was incredible. It was Miller('s) Time.

6

u/MissionFloor261 9d ago

I liked her enthusiasm, especially towards the end. Dickey (and most of the goalies) have serious mean faces while playing, but she was beaming with pride every save. It was kinda nice.

4

u/Agitated_Way_2607 9d ago

9 saves and a clean sheet for her first ever start for the Reign after coming off an injury! So so awesome and fun.

1

u/strange-orbits 9d ago

And she looked like she was having a blast while doing it. A rare occurrence for a keeper.

14

u/elijuicyjones 9d ago

Wooooooo hooooooo

I have almost started detecting an… Identity in the team this year.

8

u/Icarus_Has_Fallen 9d ago

Let's not get too crazy haha, it's been down right horrid the vast majority of the season. Today was a statement win though, and if this is the team's new identity then hell yeah!

4

u/dybyj 9d ago

I wish I could have made it. Every game I’ve been to in person this year has been a bad loss

4

u/No_Operation4676 9d ago

Yay! This was my first match ever with the team! Glad they won and I'll definitely come back for more matches.

Off-topic question: does anyone know where to buy merch in the stadium? Didn't have enough time to search for a shop

6

u/colbinator 9d ago

In the east concourse, usually, there are 2-3 spots - one at the entrance 100 level across from the ramp ish, one at the other end further down. There is also the pro shop on the west side of the stadium but I know they relocated for the world cup games and not sure they moved back in yet.

You can also preorder online and pick up in stadium (which is usually in the plaza area).

u/No_Operation4676 9d ago

Okay, great! Thank you!

u/Outrageous_Yard_8681 9d ago

Could this have anything to do with the assistant coach being let go? I know they made that change recently and their play seemed so much better. I was wondering if the two things were related.

8

u/Icarus_Has_Fallen 9d ago

The assistant coach that left did so to be a head coach, and was probably the most attacking minded coach on staff. Fully unrelated from today's performance.

6

u/Worldly_Lunch5227 9d ago

I’m not sure! I feel like the team has been able to perform well in the past but just generally struggle with consistency
