Hey, @MiLLeNNiuM, you're stealing @Semblance17's work in opening weekly threads! will he forgive you?
There's no offense to forgive. Please, forgive me; I'm slacking. I just was going to do it now. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

[NJ-WAS] 10' 0-0 Washington has ~3 crosses into Sky Blue's box, Haracic is alert and active in coming out. Sky Blue have gone down wide right for ~4 crosses, all caught or headed away. 14' 0-0 Hatch rolls a vertical through-ball from 25m arc left, but nobody making a cut. 15' 0-0 Sullivan receives down wide right to 5m, cuts back past Dydasco to 9m, left-foot cross to 3m 3-left. Dibiasi hop-volleys off her left knee, slow roller to left post low, Haracic smothers it. A cut back and cross. @DIdeeds there to clean it up. 0-0 | #NJvWAS Watch Live: https://t.co/d9Oj0BxIL6 pic.twitter.com/2R3mSpI5F1— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019
16' 0-0 Dydasco dribbles up box left, pass to McCaskill at arc tangent left. McCaskill quickly scoops a gentle mini-lob toward 6-top right -- nobody making that cut. Back and forth. 18' 0-0 Monaghan crosses from arc top wide right to ~spot, McCaskill jumps in traffic and twist-heads leaning away, way wide right. Back and forth. 20' 0-0 McCaskill left ck, Staab knocks it down along endline left. McCaskill comes to ball at box left foot, 2nd cross to 6m center, James twist-heads leaning away, wide right.
22' 0-1 Staab(?) longball from circle back wide left bounces at 28m mid-left, Matthews separates from Skroski and follows alongside. Richardson comes back across her path at arc tangent left, Matthews shanks a volley try straight up -- into own stride , follows it past spot. Haracic comes way out and flaps at her feet, Matthews knees ball past her to 7m 4-right, shoots across mouth -- blocked point-blank by Dydasco sliding, as Haracic also dives flat. Ball bounces out to 1m 6-right, Matthews calmly steps around forehand, shoots over Richardson's left shoulder into left roof. Better than Donovan vs. Slovenia No angle. No problem. What a run. What persistence. What a goal from @Cheynalee_!0-1 | #NJvWAS Watch Live: https://t.co/d9Oj0BxIL6 pic.twitter.com/YK6PfJShya— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019 26' 0-1 Matthews chases down wide right to 4m, chips a high cross to 7m 2/5 right. Hatch waits 1-v-1 for an interminable eon, jumps past her defender's back but can't quite get under ball, nods a header wide right low.
32' 1-1 Sullivan fast ground pass from circle top wide left to box top left (with RB Huster and RCB P.Nielsen both caught high), McCaskill cuts past Dougherty Howard, 8m+ alone through box top left. McCaskill lifts head and creeps to 9m 6-left, right outstep ground cross to 10m center. Rodríguez trails up centerline, one-touch right instep off right post high, bounces across goal into left side netting high. Washington got caught completely out of shape there. Come for no-look dish from @smccaskill_21, but stay for the @raque_rocky finish. 1-1 | #NJvWAS Watch Live: https://t.co/d9Oj0BxIL6 pic.twitter.com/AsXGpmVfz0— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019
[UTA-HOU] 18' 0-0 K.Mewis chips from 30m mid-left to 8m mid-left, Daly cuts past Utah's high line and collects at 5m mid-left, turns away 1-v-1, faces off. High cross dropping toward spot, Utah volleys away. 20' 0-0 Vero chases down a loose ball past circle top wide right, shields off K.Mewis, does a step-over, then a ragback-cut inside and almost splits Hanson and Mewis, but Hanson deflects ball forward, Mewis interposes body, now she's shielding Vero off. Vero does a swim-move with arms tugging to pull self in front, foul.
25' 0-0 Daly races Barnhart to a ball at 18m mid-left, Barnhart slides to clear, Daly kicks ball off Barnhart's legs. Very high pop-up tails off to 4m left touch, Daly chases it but can't keep it in. Protecting our keep 💪 pic.twitter.com/evwdO5NAEE— Utah Royals FC (@UtahRoyalsFC) May 11, 2019 26' 0-0 S.Johnson scoops a longball from circle back left, Stengel receives at 30m centerline. Brooks chases her down through box top center, Stengel shoots a fast roller to 6-top 1/3 left low. Campbell dives and blocks it along 6-top, gets up and falls on it.
29' 1-0 Bowen taps to Vero at own 30m wide right. Vero turns away from Nairn, jukes Hanson at circle halfback right, darts past circle right. Long diagonal pass left splits Polkinghorne and Romero caught waaay high at (their) circle back , to Rodriguez wide-open behind them through circle top. Rodriguez catches up to ball at 25m mid-left, dribbles to 11m 3-left, pulls Campbell out to 9m left post, shoots left instep under Campbell's left hand, across mouth into right bottom pipe. Vero's run wrecked Houston's entire defense, but Romero probably still shouldn't be stepping to ball in center circle when she knows she's rightmost-defender on Rodriguez. Speed kills. @AmyRodriguez8 with her 2nd goal on the season for @UtahRoyalsFC. 1-0 | #UTAvHOU Watch Live: https://t.co/ZmaElBi2pB pic.twitter.com/JQtWbnzLlc— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019
[NJ-WAS] 46' 1-1 Washington subs in (1 of 3) #19 Dorian Bailey for RB #23 Tori Huster. 55' 1-2 Harrison dribbles through midfield mid-left, passes up left touch to Logarzo -- and continues her own run to 25m box left, where she ties up RB Monaghan's attention Logarzo taps square right to DiBiasi -- and promptly back-cuts Dorsey unaware, goes up wide left alone. DiBiasi hoofs inside-out up wide left, Logarzo collects alone at 12m wide left. Sky Blue abandon marking to rotate ball-ward, Monaghan leaves Harrison alone at box top left. Logarzo taps inside to Harrison at 14m mid-left, she turns inside and sees DiBiasi trailing up left post lane. Ground pass to box top left post, DiBiasi runs on and shoots right foot into left 90, wrong-foots Haracic stepping right and diving late. Harrison's run quietly overloaded Sky Blue's right flank, and then two more players exploited it perfectly. How do you even practice that? Logarzo ---> Harrison ---> @DiBiasiJordan ---> GOAL. 1-2 | #NJvWAS Watch Live: https://t.co/d9Oj0BxIL6 pic.twitter.com/YGmZy30k5D— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019
[UTA-HOU] 42' 1-1 Brooks longball from own 30m centerline to circle top right. S.Johnson lets ball bounce but it spins off her chest-block try, then the bounce topspins away from her. Daly outsprints her through ball, knocks it forward to box top mid-right, outraces Corsie to it. Right foot shot across mouth outswings past Barnhart's right hand diving, into back left low. Give @RachelDaly3 some daylight and she'll make ya pay. 1-1 | #UTAvHOU Watch Live: https://t.co/ZmaElBi2pB pic.twitter.com/VWWLyBvmEq— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019 HT 1-1.
[NJ-WAS] 66' 1-2 Washington subs in (2 of 3) #17 Cali Farquharson for #6 Chloe Logarzo. 68' 1-3 Farquharson dribbles unmarked between Sky Blue's lines to 28m 1/3 left, has Hatch unmarked up mid-left lane (pulling Monaghan outward), and Matthews cutting leftward past arc top, fronting Richardson. Farquharson lags a pass through arc left into Matthews' stride, Matthews follows to 15m 7-left, shoots one-touch left roundhouse across mouth, lifts it over Richardson's dive and Haracic's left hand, into back right high. Some team's been watching Lucas Mauro One touch. Second goal for @Cheynalee_. 3-1 | #NJvWAS Watch Live: https://t.co/d9Oj0BxIL6 pic.twitter.com/rp9Jhb8GGg— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019
73' 1-3 Sky Blue subs in (1 of 3) #29 Amandine Pierre-Louis for #9 Nahomi Kawasumi. 80' 2-3 McCaskill stands 1-v-2 at 35m box left, points to direct traffic toward 6-right foot, lifts a long switch over box. Pierre-Louis easily outraces Harrison to it at 0.5m mid-right, hooks a cross back to 8m 1/4 left. P.Nielsen plants for a twist-header clearance over endline left, but Dorsey comes uncontested down 1/4 left lane, jumps and heads across mouth to goalline 1/4 right with Bledsoe frozen, bounces into right side netting low. It's not over yet!@Imdorsey96 cuts the deficit to one for @SkyBlueFC. 2-3 | #NJvWAS Watch Live: https://t.co/d9Oj0BxIL6 pic.twitter.com/aenhxUgzLr— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019 FT 2-3. McCaskill has some vision. Both teams' backlines are vulnerable when they start scrambling, and both offenses can occasionally create an overload and a scramble.
[UTA-HOU] 50' 1-2 Romero settles at midfield wide right, peeks downfield and sees LB Maemone caught way up at 35m, chips a forward pass behind Maemone to 25m mid-right. Daly times her run perfectly, with 5m of lateral separation from S.Johnson. Daly guides ball to 8m mid-right, shoots right foot flat across mouth past S.Johnson's slide, under Barnhart's right glove, into left side netting just behind left post low. Have yourself an afternoon @RachelDaly3! https://t.co/v75CmYJNVY— Houston Dash (@HoustonDash) May 11, 2019 Clever shot, avoiding Barnhart's body mass and forcing her to compute the glove-to-ball interception, with no backstop. Kerr did this to Naeher last year (2018 week 6) from a similar angle.
68' 1-2 Utah subs in (1 of 3) #15 Erika Tymrak for #7 Mandy Laddish. 79' 1-2 Utah subs in (2 of 3) #13 Makenzy Doniak for #24 Katie Stengel. 83' 1-2 Utah subs in (3 of 3) #46 Meghan Cox for #19 Michelle Maemone. 87' 1-2 Doniak turns down box left to 6m, hooks a shross onto right roof. .@UtahRoyalsFC searching for that equalizer to stay perfect for 2019. Very close here. 1-2 | #UTAvHOU Watch Live: https://t.co/ZmaElBi2pB pic.twitter.com/DC0HNer1T4— National Women’s Soccer League (@NWSL) May 11, 2019 90' 1-2 Daly gets bodied around 1-v-2 at circle top right touch, Cox shoves her in the back, Daly swings left elbow and makes contact, Cox's head snaps back. Stoppage, conference, straight red card on Daly. She claps at 1R, at 4R, exits into the shade. +3'. FT 1-2.
I thought Clarkson mis-managed his subs - given the altitude. Harvey was adding fresh legs, but Clarkson did not counter. Rachel Daly is basically a honey badger.
