1/ Went to @StanfordWSoccer soccer today v. @USC_WSoccer with my family (wife, 18 mo boy and 4 yr daughter). Dog was invited as well and enjoyed the crowd.
2/ First observation – the crowd reignited a belief in me that Bay Area can have a good sports fan base that isn’t just jumping on the latest bandwagon. Game was sold out.
3/ Second- the @USC_WSoccer were a top 2-3 team I’ve seen in the past few years in terms of communication, how they supported each other, and just general teamwork. It was a master class in teamwork to watch.
4/ Third – this game had zero flops that I saw. Zero. Every men’s game has like 10. Can a soccer fan-without any snide unhelpful remarks- please explain? I’m seriously confused why professional mens soccer cant figure out how to get rid of flopping but this game could.
5/ @kiki33pickett is an absolute warrior. Her chase down of a ball to keep it from going out of bounds, from about 30 yards away, was a top 5 most athletic things I’ve seen in the past few years.
6/ I know nothing about soccer but this was best soccer game I’ve seen. Gave some cool inspiration to my 4 yr old daughter. Thank you @StanfordWSoccer and @USC_WSoccer
