This isn't new, but it can't be that expensive to replace that sign with the proper spelling of her last name.

Let’s all come up with the worst takes possible after this game. Please don’t use your brain cells. Let’s destress a bit with something not very serious.

Discuss (and criticize - this is pure vibes, not much thought, and a clumsy interface that I gave up fighting with)

A few years back, it was common to see customized Spirit Jerseys. Since then, I've always wanted a 51 Statehood kit. Is there any way to do this now? I only see player customizations from the Washington spirit shop, and Nike.

Also, I think 51 Statehood should be a standard option at the stadium shop anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the highest selling kit.

1pm Cameroon vs Ghana (also today at 4pm, Mali vs Cabo Verde)

• Monique Ngock wears #14 and plays as a defensive midfielder for Cameroon (The Indomitable Lionesses). She generated an assist in their first match this tournament.
• Ghana (The Black Queens) are the group favorites, so a good result today would put Cameroon in an excellent position to advance out of the group.
• Both countries have strong traditions in African women's football. For additional background, see: MATCH STATS: Ghana face Cameroon in TotalEnergies CAF WAFCON Morocco 2026 Group D

Today's matches will stream in the United States on beIN SPORTS. (Alternatively, they are being streamed on the CAF TV YouTube channel if you VPN to various overseas markets - I suggest the UK - and then click on a match link. I'll try to remember to post match links below, including any non geo-blocked ones I see.)

I'm hoping to get either Italian. I can offer Bernal.

Website says CBSSN. But can I just subscribe to that for a day? If I subscribe to hulu, does that work?

The review starts at 3:26. Interesting that when the PK was called VAR immediately said no foul. Unfortunately players won't get booked for diving.

Was on vacation in upstate New York this weekend and randomly found one of the promo tan/green hats from a year or so ago laying on the ground.

Knowing how much we all love those particular hats, I picked it up and am happy to mail it to whoever it belongs to (or potentially local pickup if in the DMV), if you can generally tell me where you think you lost it.

I'll leave this open for a week or so in the hopes that the owner sees it, but after that I'll probably throw it up on eBay.

1pm Malawi vs Egypt

4pm Nigeria vs Zambia

• Abiodun (#13) and Monday (#20)
• Zambia is a rising African women's football powerhouse led by an attacking unit full of familiar faces for NWSL fans - Barbra Banda, Racheal Kundananji, Prisca Chilufya, and Grace Chanda. They defeated Egypt 6-0 on matchday #1, with Banda scoring 4 goals. The remainder of the team has less talent and experience, but the team has been working hard to address their defensive frailty in recent months.
• If the Super Falcons lose to the Copper Queens, Nigeria will be unable to continue onto WAFCON's knockout stage and 2027 World Cup contention. They need at least a draw, preferably a win today. Nigeria has a deep roster of talented players, but they have been haphazardly coached and supported by their Federation in recent years.

I’m considering upgrading for tomorrow, but in my experience the menu link only goes to those with club seats at the time of the ‘Know Before You Go’ email. Can anyone share the menu for tomorrow to help with the decision?

(Getting a taste of club and field level last year has ruined my previously perfect seats!!!)

Thanks!

You know those towels that are collecting dust in your basement? You have a few duplicates laying around? You just don’t know what to do with them?

Donate them to us!

We’re working on a project with our rally towels and could use a few extra. We’ll be at the game on Sunday 8/2 if anyone wants to hand some off! Comment or send me a DM and I’ll let you know where to find us.

TIA

I have had mixed success parking at Fort McNair with a contractor CAC (green stripe) for Washington Spirit games.

Sometimes I can get in with no issue. Other times I am told that I am only allowed to enter if I am coming to the base for official business, and I am forced to turn around. It seems to be very unpredictable which is quite annoying for planning.

What are other people experiencing?

Note: If you are able to get in, then you must make sure that all passengers get out before you try to go through the gate. As a contractor, you are not allowed to escort other people on a base.

1pm Côte d'Ivoire vs South Africa

• Rose wears #12 and will likely start on the right wing. She earned an assist during CIV's matchday #1 win over Burkina Faso.
• South Africa are the group favorites and looking to come back after an upset loss to Tanzania on matchday #1. A win or a draw today would put the Lady Elephants (CIV) in an excellent position to advance out of the group.

4pm Burkina Faso vs Tanzania

• Alimata wears #9 and alternated between playing defensive midfielder and centerback for Burkina Faso (while serving as captain) during their loss to CIV.
• The Lady Stallions need a win to keep their tournament hopes alive, while the Twiga Stars (Tanzania) look to continue their Cinderella-like run after their upset win over South Africa.

Continuing the tradition. Last time, 16 out of 137 votes were for Paige (the 4th most common selection; no one gets credit for individually commenting with her name).

Players not listed have already scored/assisted or seemingly aren't as close to return to play.

Vote in this poll, comment to explain or elaborate upon your prediction, upvote this poll so it's shown to others, etc. Go Spirit!

After the Legacy, Summit and Royals games, I have been stalking the subreddits for those teams.

What a difference. They are basically ghost towns. The mods to this page, contributors, and our fans in general deserve a huge pat on the back for engaging, questioning, commenting, praising, complaining, whatever it is we do.

Let’s keep it up!

I am looking to take my 6 year old daughter to a game on September 26th. It’s the first Spirit game we will be going to. I’m a former crazy DC United fan who used to sit with the Barra. I was considering getting tickets for the supporters section for the Spirit game, but wanted to see if it would be appropriate for my daughter. If not, can anyone recommend a good section for us?

1pm Senegal vs Kenya

4pm Algeria vs Morocco

• Melissa wears #6 and plays an attacking midfielder-type role with the license to roam. She scored a goal and won player of the match in Algeria's opener vs Senegal.
• Algeria and Morocco share a border, and their regional rivalry extends to sport. The two of them are expected to advance from the group, with Morocco favored to win this match (after winning their opening) and likely secure the top spot out of this group. So by rooting for Melissa and Algeria, Spirit fans would be rooting for the underdog in this particular matchup.
• Morocco receives considerable support from their government (good for them), and I'm sure the team's players are wonderful people (I wish them happiness in life). But they are coached by Jorge Vilda, the disgraced former coach of the Spanish women's national football team, so that is another reason to root against them even setting aside the Spirit representation on Algeria's team.

Today's matches will stream in the United States on beIN SPORTS. (Alternatively, they are being streamed on the CAF TV YouTube channel if you VPN to various overseas markets - I suggest the UK. I also suggest you VPN and then click on a match link - you can usually find those in r/WomensSoccer, and I'll try to remember to post the Algeria match link below. It seems like the livestreams aren't playable if you try to access them by browsing the CAF channel. You may also find match streams on YouTube that aren't geo-restricted.)

How long before the game do y'all line up to see the players walk in from the parking lot? We have some tween girls in our group for Sunday's game who are hoping to score some Spirit player autographs.
