FULL HIGHLIGHTS | Bay FC vs. Washington Spirit 

Incredible luck! 🎉

I watched the game; I think they were trying to see if there actually was contact or not. Love the grading that you've been doing 😂

Only her third game. Got injured in first game and played her second game as a sub last week

I can’t remember exactly, other than a foul. Going to have to wait 3 days before the full replay is up on NWSL+ to check. It was in the first 4 minutes, so I really can’t remember.

Defense Spirit needs attention.. very sloppy in this game. d

@@erwin_888 Well, it's hardly obvious, dear Erwin: Coach Jonatan has only been training for a month, that's why the anchor defenders and midfielders move nervously (so as NOT to look bad in front of their boss). The different sequences of the Technical Director are just being automated: the Distribution of Spaces, Supports, Backups, Staggering and Exchanges. Surely in the “rest” that will remain in the Olympic Games, Giraldez will try to define when the Tilt-Ups should be done and when the Zonal Pressing should be executed. This DNA must “adapt” according to the qualities of the available players and they must “memorize” the Automatics. For the rest, Giraldez loves to do Latin-style football control and that is why he preferred to hire the Colombian Leicy Santos who can give him those connections in the Coverage Line so that the circuit between Transitions works like a “Swiss clock”. That guy (Jonatan) likes to have very rigorous Military Type Training, in order to have a very extensive Tactical Tool Kit. Fortunately, the players respect him and would be capable of going to hell to train if necessary. Rest assured, their loyalty to their Boss will be absolute. In my personal opinion, in the year 2025 the Washington Spirit is going to mercilessly crush all its rivals. Jonatan Giraldez is a student of soccer and likes to take players to the highest level of perfection.

@@diegofernandosuareztoscano4258 i get that AND i was not talking about the duration of his presence in Washington nor his skills as a coach, nor questioning your comment ;-) (just to be clear)... The possible nervousness could be a factor indeed. Looked akward though. Not used to that from their backline.

@@erwin_888 Thank you very much! I have never questioned your comment at any time. ʘ What I wanted to say (and I must clarify it) is that for the players it must be very intimidating to have a new Coach who comes to work with a very large Staff (Assistants): at least there must be a Coach for Set Piece Actions, a Coach for Defensive Transitions, a Coach for Offensive Transitions, a Coach to amalgamate the Tactical aspects, one or two Video Analysts, a Big Data Analyst, a Goalkeeping Coach and if we add to that, the Nutritionist, the Physiotherapist, the Physical Trainer, a Sports Medicine Expert Doctor, a Cardiologist Doctor, etc., because behind Giraldez there will be at least 15 people (Multidisciplinary Team) working day and night. This guy (Jona) is used to “polishing” even the smallest details (there's a reason he's the best Technical Director of Women's Soccer on planet Earth) and he wants to turn the Washington Spirit into an authentic Masterclass Military Battalion, something like a kind of Delta Force or Special Operations Force within a playing field. Best regards and I reiterate, thank you for sharing your opinions.
