Whats the plan fam, who we keeping?

Missed a lot of the 1st half (both busy with time sensitive errands and watching a gridiron football game), but down 1-2 to the best team in the league in their stadium is respectable especially since it doesn't matter anyway

Inaugural season, spring 2025

was waiting for the replay on NWSL+ rather than pay for ESPN+, I understood those were available in 72 hours for games not originally on NWSL+, and still didn't see it, so I just watched the 'highlight' reel

1st goal goes right through Dickey - usually she's better than that. but we could have defended the corner better to begin with 2nd and 3rd were the sort of embarrassing defense or lack thereof from open play we've seen before

Didn't get what seemed like an obvious pen, besides the likely goal itself could've been a huge momentum shift

Technically that's what eliminated us from the playoffs, but in practice that happened weeks to months ago

Dash game Friday night is on Prime and I expect to do similar

Pride on November 2nd is on ION, that I can get on regular TV, and with Orlando already having lost to Portland there won't be undefeated season pressure

Maybe we can finish on a high note, been a lot of low ones, and nowhere to go but up next year.

I got to Lumen for the first time for Angel City and Bay after some East Coast road games. I wouldn't mind going back to Seattle, but my big 2025 vacation will be Everton men for Goodison's last season. NWSL-wise I'll be quicker to make plans for some of the road games (I did get to Gotham, but committing to that earlier would be cheaper bus tickets with more flexibility in timing for an easier day trip)

EDIT: FINAL 2-1 Seattle Reign! A home win to close out our home games for the season.

alright y'all, availability reports are out. we are missing five players who count against the roster cap, while houston is missing four who count against the cap. we're both out of the playoffs, so is this a development game for players who haven't been getting minutes? or is this a race to avoid last place?

both teams are 5-14-5 (W-L-D) on the season, but houston has been trending up (beating the wave last weekend) while we have been trending down (losing to the royals last weekend). houston travels to us, and the weather is going to be chilly with a possibility of rain.

taken all together, I think this one is a bit of a toss up. I'm mostly hoping for no serious injuries on either team at this point in the season.

what do you think will happen? another early red for our frustrated players? houston coach kicked off for something dumb? VAR penalties? everyone starts their rookies and plays them 90 minutes? drop your predictions below and vote for your expected result for our Seattle Reign:

View Poll

Not sure if I'm interested enough in this trainwreck of a season anymore to subscribe just for that I understand it's on ESPN2 also, definitely not paying for thet Having people over so might not be able to focus on the game anyway

Does anyone by chance know how long it takes to receive a jersey after ordering? It's been about two weeks since I placed my order and I still haven't gotten any shipping-esque emails other than the original confirmation one.

I'm here at Lumen, perfectly decent fall evening weather, my 2nd home game after Bay Sunday

Barnes available but on the bench. Splitting the difference with the knock she took last time?

Brown, Fishlock, Van der Jagt still out Quinn out AMC with the armband

Hey Reign! Coming up for the game this Friday! What section is behind the visitors bench? Any pregame activities to check out pre match? Best place in the stadium to get food and/or drinks? Thanks can't wait to be up there and enjoy some fall football! Better to Uber or drive?

I'm at Lumen for the first time (though I have made it to 3 Reign road games before) so gonna focus on the game rather than the game thread

Beautiful outdoor sports weather, was also great for Mariners earlier, hoping for another decisive home team win

Fans shout out last name (or only name for Quinn) when reading our lineup Some Seahawks signage is fixed but much of the stadium decor is in soccer mode

Both on the outside looking in, should be spicy. This and Angel City Friday (I'll be at that too) are some of our most gettable 3 points. Any playoff appearance even if we exit early would feel like quite an accomplishment

Reign v Bay Match Thread

Sunday we play a Bay team that's looked much more cohesive after the summer break. True they're traveling, but within the same time zone. Neither team is heavily injured, though both have key players returning from the U20 WWC (Bugg, King, Adames) who may remain on limited minutes or be unavailable. It's a key matchup for both teams to win - if Seattle wants to keep playoff hopes alive (lolsob), or for Bay to crack into the top 8 from spot #9, where they currently sit below Racing only by goal differential. What are your predictions? Ideas: # of fouls/cards, goals? starting lineups? final scoreline? who will be subbed in? how much stoppage time?

Is there a Reign FC or NWSL discord where a bunch of Reign fans hang out? I spend most of my life in Discord and would love to join one if it exists!

Running the risk of this becoming a DAE post, but I wanted to check in and see how the renewal process has gone for everyone else? I’ve had to make some, I should think simple, changes to my tickets going into next year and it’s been bumpy. There’s been a lot of emailing back and forth with my rep and it’s like they haven’t been understanding me, some incorrect links, etc. I’m sure they’re busy but it’s been tough since I was admittedly a bit on-the-fence for renewal. Has it been smooth for everyone else? I’m hoping this is just growing pains for the new ownership.

We need wins to have any playoff hopes and the basement dweller even at their stadium seems like a good place to get them

Fishlock and VdJ still hurt, Huitema questionable (BUT jordyn is starting)

Adames and Bugg still off with the USWNT u20's instead

Just curious if the attendance was announced at Monday night's game in the stadium. I haven't seen it online anywhere, and that seems weird.

Yay we have a game tonight (a good sign that I'm excited rather than fearful)

NWSL website schedule page says it's on cable boo

A paid standalone streaming service fine (Paramount Plus or ESPN+ for NWSL this year), a whole cable package no. Already used trials to cable services for previous CBSSN games

Even if I find a stream I might be too busy using my phone for that to comment on the game

Have any of you ever purchased pitchside resale tickets via Ticketmaster? What was your experience like? Do resale tickets come with any the amenities that these premium tickets come generally with?

I bought two for this coming Monday's game against Gotham for my partner, and I don't want to get her hopes up about a VIP experience if we won't be getting that. Spendy tickets, but I'm sure our experience will be just as fun even if we don't get any of the bougie VIP amenities!

It has felt like we've had a ton of turnover since last season but I wasn't sure if maybe it just feels like a lot so I made a little spreadsheet and it looks it's about 50% turnover which is a lot.

I definitely don't begrudge any of the players who left but man, I really hope we can get some stability soon.

*This is based on Wikipedia's roster lists it might not be perfect.

Next game is Sunday at 4pm. TBD on the opponent.

Our girl is dialing in her corners and crosses down in Colombia. Can't wait for her to get back to Seattle!

there will be beef!

lol, loved Tziarra joking about this in the post game interview.
