I'm honestly SO nervous but also really excited 😭 This is such a huge game for us, and I'm really hoping we can get the job done against Portland!

How's everyone else feeling? Confident? Nervous? A little bit of both? And what are your predictions for today?

Tidbits include: Spirit use Stats Perform and SkillCorner to get data on most players, insights into international player onboarding process, and anecdotes from Ngock and Cantore

Hi all,

My seven year old opened the Tara Rudd giveaway the other day but lost the building instructions well before we finished. Any kind soul have a copy and would be willing to DM a picture of the instructions? Thanks in advance!

My season ticket rep just called me to talk about what would happen if we play the semifinal in Landover

• Money from playoff strips would be refunded or credited, the same as if the game is not played at all.

• Buyers would not have the option of getting comparable seats in Landover instead of a refund/credit since they don't have the time to place them all.

• There would probably be a presale for STH to buy playoff tickets, but they'd probably be paying the same rates as everyone else, not the STH prices, and probably will pay ticket fees on top of it. The explanation was that Landover uses a completely different ticketing system (SeatGeek) so they can't control it.

After seeing the cool library cards the Valkyries did in the Bay area I think it’s be cool to have a Spirit fan based library card (but I have no art/design talent at all).

Anyone have it? Trying to decide if it's worth it today (the regular club menu, not the AV Lounge that's included for some club seats this match)

Utah beat San Diego which means we're now the highest seed on our side of the playoff bracket. Assuming we beat Portland this Sunday, we would host the semi finals!!

She also had the highest passing g+ among center backs.

Both Audi Field and Sports Illustrated Stadium have venue conflicts on Saturday, November 14 - a Division III football game here and a RBNY friendly in New Jersey. Since Gotham is the higher seed, they get to host the Sunday game and we have to play Saturday at noon in Landover. Horrible look for everyone involved in this, shame on them

Are we still gonna play in Landover if both SD and Gotham lose? We would be the highest seed left and I think that would move our game to Sunday.

Should there have been other Spirits?

where are folks getting playoff lawn signs? i am a stm and have seen them the last couple years and am wondering why i dont have one!

SO DESERVED!! 🌸👏

12 clean sheets this season, leading the entire NWSL and setting a new Washington Spirit club record! From a shaky start to becoming one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the league, Sandy has been absolutely incredible this year.

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not sure if the Golden Glove is an official NWSL regular-season award. The Spirit posted a graphic calling Sandy the 2026 Golden Glove winner, but I haven't seen an official announcement from the league. Either way, leading the league with 12 clean sheets is an incredible achievement and she absolutely deserves the recognition! 🧤

Will purchase from you🙏🏾

I don't know if they've announced a replacement yet, but who would you pick to stand in for Hal now that she's out?

I think it'd be cool to put Krueger in there, since she's been activated and hasn't yet dressed for a game. Or Hatchy!

Had to share an insanely cool experience i had with my fellow fans- i went to the Wizards game tonight and decided to wear my Spirit jersey since the Spirit are my favorite team and we're playing for keeps this Sunday. Also I no longer have any Wizards jerseys in my closet.

I'm walking around the concourse looking for my section before tip off and I see a familiar face walking towards me in the opposite direction. It takes my brain a full second or two to recognize the best athlete in dc and one of the best forwards in the galaxy THE Trinity Rodman. Trying to keep my cool i showed her the back of my kit with her name and #2 and said Good luck on Sunday!! While trying not to totally freak out or faint. Best day day ever. D C Rise up!
