Me, too. Yesterday has to be one of the best, if not the best, live sporting events I've ever attended. The crowd noise and energy were unmatched. I didn't think anything could top last week, but I was wrong. As an avid Spirit fan, I've prepared myself for the end of the season so many times, especially as the injuries mounted. With Sarr and Croix already injured, when Sullivan went down in Orlando, a post-season run seemed unlikely, if not impossible. But the rookies stepped up big time, and the team's never-say-die attitude overcame all the setbacks.
Hats off to the team and the fans. I feel so fortunate to have been there for the emotional rollercoaster of both intense playoff matches. Also, kudos to the Gotham fans who made the trip and packed their supporters section. Their presence ramped up the intensity in the stadium. It was a great day for the NWSL.
