Hey all, question about Reign games ...

is there a local commentary team for the squad? I don't like the randomness of paramount plus commentary. I actually haven't watched a game in a while but I assume it's like Apple TV where there's a different commentary team each match?

I'm looking for local, regular commentators like what the Sounders have on KJR Radio. Does such a team exist for the Reign? Maybe a radio team?

Lets Go Reign!!!

Happy with going to halftime scoreless, KC bringing a lot of pressure but Ivory made several brilliant saves, also some good clearances and tackles by the back line, McClernon mentioned a lot and not for fouls

Not hearing too much from the ref which is good

After they beat us in the semifinal a couple years back (when I was already booked to go to DC for the final), I've felt a bit of a grudge against them (and my NFL team has a rivalry with the Chiefs, so I already didn't care for KC sports)

Who knows how Marta’s healing is coming along / if she’ll be in Seattle with the team in May 19, but wondering if anyone has had experience with getting a photo or autograph from her at a Seattle home game. Thanks!

Incredible game for how it's been so far.

First half wasn't great but we played the whole game at a tremendous disadvantage.

We fought more than I've seen us fight all season and it was great to watch.

Shout out to Ivory, multiple top incredible saves and secured this win for us

Did anyone else have issues getting their tickets through the Ticketmaster link for today’s game? A friend had to have the season ticket holder both send my tickets to me. I got in l, but the site still isn’t loading yet. Just curious. Thanks to the reign support staff for being on the ball! ⚽️

Hello everyone!! I am looking for inexpensive tickets for tonight’s game against San Diego wave! Can anyone help me out?!! In Bellevue area, I can meet up for transfer, and I am willing to use zelle or Apple Pay!! Thank you!

It's a pretty common word, of course, but whenever I see it in another context I often can't help but think of this woso team

Reign energy drinks (logo is a helm split in the middle of the face with three triangles on top) - I periodically see the empty cans when collecting deposit containers. I bought one to try myself, was very happy with the orange dreamsicle flavor. (With their Storm sub-brand i don't think the cans look as cool and the flavors aren't as appealing to me)

Reign, the medieval drama - my regular job is in a library's video and audio department, and sometimes I notice the DVD sets of the TV show on the shelves

The word used in a sentence does not stand out to me like this.

I am reminded of how the Gotham website had a disclaimer that they were not associated with DC Comics, Batman being a prominent use of that word

Two parter.

Dreaming: Let's hear the roster changes you'd make if the ownership uncertainty was settled and the transfer window was still open. Players we could conceivably land.

Scheming: Realistically, with the actual constraints we face today, who would you start to shake things up?

Does anyone know if they sell Ji jerseys at Lumen? Or would it need to be ordered online?

We just can't score goals. I feel like we are at the point that some large and uncomfortable shake ups need to happen

Match Threadder wasn't working for me even after kickoff

No good Reign baby clothing so I made her one with a Cricut. Not selling the shirt… or the baby

I think in every Reign match thread, people comment on how Mercado and Meza haven’t been dressing for any games this season. I know Meza also had some injury which might’ve affected this and we don’t know what’s going on in practices. Also it is probably hard to outplay Ji and Jess who the team needs for pretty much the whole game?

But does anyone have any idea of when rookies usually start playing in games under Laura? Maybe there isn’t a typical timeline, but I just started following in 2022 and it doesn’t seem like rookies get a lot of time. The only rookie I can think of getting a decent number of minutes is Shae last year and Emeri seems like she’s on track to get a lot of minutes this year (but ofc she’s diff).

I was just wondering if anyone had any good sources for updates on the sale? I did some googling and the last updates were last month. Here's to a bright future! #letsgo

...the late Tziarra King goal at least made things interesting

I was losing hope after conceding 1 so early, let alone 2, was zoning out on the game until pulling one back pulled me back in

We can't afford this skid, but starting to come back even though it didn't work may help mentally.

Those goals felt like nothing the keeper could do anything about, so I don't blame the Dickey injury for dropped points. I blame Mallory Swanson, nothing personal, she's just too darn good.

What happened to them?

Has anyone heard how Dickey is doing after being injured in the last match?

Another tough loss. Gotta stop this skid both because of every game matters and in case the team goes into a funk dropping even more points.

I hope Dickey's okay. After she played on the first time she went down, I wonder if she wasn't 100% and that's why she came off after the 2nd time, versus the 2nd being a new injury

Bay played well, but a draw would have seemed fair, a win lucky, a loss unlucky. Similarly, there were some calls we plausibly could have gotten but didn't seem egregious against us, like the offside on what could have been our 3rd goal.

A midgame equalizer after an early lead happens, and it was hard to be mad about their second (though that rocket came out of nowhere after I thought we were out of immediate danger), but not holding onto a late equalizer is what really stunk.

Did the expansion rules make the new teams too good, or does it just seem that way compared to leagues that let new teams be trash? Neither of those approaches seem good. Big crowd in San Jose, harder to get that with a basement dweller expansion team, I suppose that's especially important when gameday revenue is relatively important compared to TV money.

I’ve reloaded the page for the Reign match several times. Have had the blue circle going for about 20 minutes.

Good job, NWSL! /s

Anyone have a solid third party (or first party but I have yet to find one) lead for a nice RFC fitted baseball (not trucker) cap?

My daughter plays for the academy and is pretty loyal, and with the new (old) logo we're looking for a new hat. They have to exist?!

I haven’t loved the hats made for the rebrand so I made my own. I thought this community may enjoy them too.

I love Claudia, but I also loved PTJ, and I keep seeing comments on other threads suggesting Claudia is much better than PTJ. The main reason people seem to think this is Claudia’s ability to play out of the back with her feet. Thinking back, I did notice how Cook and Hiatt rarely passed back to PTJ… But other than that, is there a reason people seem to like Claudia so much more? From my memory, PTJ made some crazy saves and seemed to be better at stopping forwards running right at her (like I’m pretty sure she stopped an AM13 running straight at her twice).
