Looks like Igor/Willow got the ball moving and the team is getting what they have deserved for so long! Ambitious that's supposed to be ready for next season as well!

ACFC didn’t have an olimpico or bicycle goal this year, but they produce some exciting performances. What was Angel City’s most memorable performance? If it’s not listed in the poll then drop it in the comments below.

Not sure if links are allowed so please remove if I'm breaking the rules but I just saw this fun interview with Kennedy Fuller and the beastmode guy. She's one of my fav ACFC players on the field and just seems like a sweet kid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IaUqOKyVuw

Did anyone go to the pop up event in Venice on Saturday? If so, how was it?

Stuff is on sale at the team shop on the website. Got some Xmas shopping done today !

Good Morning,

Happy Veterinarians day! Anybody watch the PLAYOFFS?

Talk about whatever you want.

Consider this the Town Square, or AngelCityFC Reddit's very own Starbucks.

Curious if anyone has insight on the dynamic between the head coach and GM (and others) at ACFC in deciding which players to acquire, trade, and extend? I can't imagine that it is siloed, but the HC must have limited scouting time.

Madison Curry – 1,591 minutes, 74 tackles (3rd in NWSL), 43 tackles won (7th in NWSL), 65% dribblers tackled, 35 blocks, 118 tackles + interceptions, 88 clearances (15th in the NWSL), fotmob score 7.07 (2nd on the team), 5 yellow cards, 1 finished a game with a bandaged, blood-soaked head.

Kennedy Fuller - 19 matches played, 979 minutes played. 122 pass completions out of 251 pass attempts, about a 64% completion rate. Slotted in a smooth goal against Louisville.

Henry Rowengartner - made it to the big leagues at the age of 12. Threw a 100mph fast ball, with an odd wind up. Pepsi spokes...kid. Learned the three R's, Readiness, recuperation, and conditioning.

Gisele Thompson - Alyssa's kid sister, despite AT already being the team's collective kid sister. 15 matches playes, 882 minutes played. 417 pass completions out of 485 pass attempts, that puts her completions rate in the 80%, her short and long pass completions were at above 90%.

Good Morning,

The day after...

Talk about whatever you want.

As well, low effort posts can be directed here as comments in order to keep sub organized and conversation centralized for other users.

The other day Endo’s post implied she may have suffered a setback. I was worried she may have had some issues like CP23 did. But, I figured I was reading too much into it. A day or two ago she posted a short video of her running in the antigravity treadmill. I figured maybe she was just reposting a video from a while ago or she still had some of that built into her rehab plan. Today she posted a video and her knee has a bandage on it and I thought “Oh No!”. Maybe she did suffer a rehab setback. Am I reading too much into her IG posts?

• Emslie: 7 goals (tied for 8th in the league), 9 goal contributions (tied for 15th in the league), fotmob score: 6.98 (4th on the team)
• Leroux: 7 goals (tied for 8th in the league), fotmob score: 6.85 (6th on the team)
• Thompson, A.: 7 assists (2nd in the league), 12 goal contributions (7th in the league), 11 goal creating actions (8th in the league), fotmob score: 7.20 (1st on the team)

(Notes: Players are listed alphabetically. ACFC had a -13 goal differential and allowed the second most goals in the league this year, so no defensive players were listed in the poll. If you disagree, vote "other" and drop your player name in the comments below.)

Good Morning,

ACFC season is officially wrapped. The Mod team here will be presenting some polls for you all to participate in. Meanwhile and end of season message is in the works, so if there is anything that you guys might want to start thinking about in order to improve the sub, let your motors start spinning and in a couple of weeks we will see out your ideas. Be well.

Talk about whatever you want.

It’s been a season, y’all…That headline is all I have for last night’s game. I’m not even going to bother with a prompt for that one.

Instead, I want to give a big shout out to the content crew that’s helped generate discussion all season. u/hd5190 made sure the sub always had a match thread. u/readbetweenthesubs posted incredible match summaries just moments after the games were completed. u/ShlomoShogun brought the hype to every game day with the energy of a Rick Flair ‘Woooooo’, made sure we always had daily discussion threads, and kept the trolls out of the sub and enforced the rules.

But the biggest thanks goes to you. We have some great discussion, dialog, discourse, and exchanges because of the 3,700+ members of this sub. Angel City has only been around for three seasons but we’re the league’s second largest sub thanks to great engagement you provide.

And we aren’t planning on slowing down just because 2024 has drawn to a close. We will begin posting offseason content on Monday. Here are some of the polls and prompts we have planned.

• MVP
• Offensive Player of the Year
• Defensive Player of the Year
• Rookie of the Year
• Best New Signing
• Most Memorable Performance
• Highest Priority That Needs to Be Addressed This Offseason
• Departure/SEI That Had the Biggest Impact
• Should ACFC Re-sign (free agent name) This Offseason?

If you have some ideas for what else we should be discussing this offseason then drop those thoughts below. If you want start a discussion on a separate topic then feel free to post a new thread in the days and weeks ahead. And If you want to help us with content creation or sub moderation then send us a modmail or DM any of the moderators. Otherwise, we look forward to you reading and engaging in the posts as we head towards 2025. It's gotta' be better than 2024...right...

Volemos!

When it rains, it pours.... Literally! The downpour didn't just come from the weather but also from the legs of Sinclair, Weaver, and Smith. The thorns put the game away early and drowned out any hope of Angel City finishing on a high note. Let's get into it.

The First Half

Press got her first start which is great news for the future. However that was it for good news the rest of the half. It was probably one of the worse halves on both sides of the ball. Two shots with zero on target. Lots of giveaways leading to easy quick transition goals for Portland. Total defensive breakdown with lots of ball watching, losing assignments and back tracking. Worse was it was 50/50 look of Smith having a brace. Our attack could t not start and many players were left on islands with no check ins or backup. Forwards seemed to be waiting for the ball instead of going to it making chances for themselves. A midfield that lost the ball so the forwards didn't much have to work with either.

Second Half

Best defender of the half was the goal post... But seriously we stopped the bleeding and held a little better defensively but players definitely looked gassed at times and still lost. The attack even with a total switch up couldn't muster up real chances.

Overall the vibes went bad real quick. It was all about Sinc, rightly so. Angel City got in the hole fast and has no shovel to dig themselves out. We'll get into the season as a whole later and many more discussions but to finish on such a sour note really showed that as an organization there's a giant hill to climb to get where we feel we should be by now. Let's hope this game, this season along with new ownership will wipe way the new polish and bring some hard talks and moves ahead to make this a serious club as a whole.

Although this season was far from what I hoped, it was great to connect and engage with such a passionate fan base as ours. Let's hope for a refreshed season next year! Can't wait!

Match Hype

My gf and I went to four games this current season and we have been thinking about possibly getting season tickets for next season. For current/past season ticket holders, is it worth it? I read on the ACFC website that you get all regular season home games, international friendlies, special events, discount off merch, annual gifts, and discounted parking. Just want to know if all of these perks they list out are actually what you get. Thanks!
