This has gone up early *early* because as well as real life stuff, modding has been a bit hectic today due to some white bastard… Line-Ups are ~~entirely predictions and will be edited asap!~~ edited now!
That’s why Stina should always Start. Now their defence has to be on alert.
STINAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THATS MY STRIKER!!!
STINA YOU FUCKING QUEEN!!
RUSSO 🤝 BLACKSTENIUS

2 early goals, actual tears in my eyess
We’ve got stina scoring and manu moving. I love it here
Manu claiming crosses and not fumbling it like a toddler. It might be over for the whole of Europe
FRIDA WHAT THEEEE FUCK! What a goal!!!!
Frida scoring bangers again it’s been 84 years
Exhibit C as to why we get low-blocked to death each week.
So happy for Maanum to get one and build her confidence up!
If Frida can one thing for usre, it’s strking the ball outside from the box. What a hit.
Need a Russo goal now please
The thing I love about meadow park games is you can really hear the chants and everyone is chanting in unison
Honestly i am loving the crowd noise
Of note: Walti has been a through-ball queen this season. So many excellent passes around the pitch to create dangerous situations.
When was the last time we played this well against these sorts of teams? I think foord on the bench is probably a forced change but I hope jonas is taking notes
Guys stina’s put in such a shift this game. You know what that means, she’ll be starting on the bench next match
Cheers

Lotte that was NASTY I approve
Wait are they singing “Stina gets hattricks everywhere we go” because if so, iconic
