He was weirdly inconsistent; called some ticky-tacky stuff but let a LOT go, too. Worst was an obvious trip on a Smith run in the 63rd minute that was so bad that even ACFC stopped playing, expecting him to blow them up for it! No call, play on.
But the Ertz thing was really annoying. I'm usually a huge fan of hers, but she was gooning it…

But the Ertz thing was really annoying. I'm usually a huge fan of hers, but she was gooning it up all night and he needed to get in her face about it or, if she still persisted, just run her. Hopefully she cuts back on this stuff, or she's gonna hurt someone badly.
And while less important than hurting someone, if/when she makes it onto the Nats, she's going to get sent off in the WWC. The NWSL remains one of the roughest leagues in WoSo, and that level of (repeated) contact is going in the book most anywhere else.
Tbf, that’s always how she’s played...except she’s now old and rusty and it seems to have thrown her timing off. Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s the one who gets injured first if she keeps it up.
