IDK if Kling has an underlying knock, or if mother time has entered the discussion, but she's had a big falloff in the last month, to the point of being pulled/benched. Layered with the loss of Becky it seems to be making defense on that side very vulnerable, such that Morgan finds herself drifting all the way downfield to help cleanup on defense.

I recall during the Chicago match noting that St. Georges had outrun Kling while dribbling; well, she did the same thing to Po(!) last night so I'm no longer knocking Kling on her inability to keep up. Holy crap, she's a burner.

That shocks me w/ Po. Po's still probably at least as fast if you just had them sprint from a dead stop, but is also still VERY capable of being wrong-footed.

I did a triple take. It was later in the match so tired legs and all, but I took it as indicating how very fast St. Georges is with the ball, because Po is a hellova yardstick.

Or, maybe I had heatstroke.

ETA Must commend Chicago for playing like they really wanted that game. Also, biggest home crowd I can recall seeing in Bridgeview. (6k? big for them.)

Yeah, that seems good for a Chicago team that’s been struggling. Seattle only had 7k or so. Just dreadful attendance, I don’t understand…

I do wonder if Seattle is in part a victim of all its moving to-and-fro?
