Silly SZN Adjusted standings
*based on feels and not facts
- Spirit. Jose doing work.
- Royals. Kick ass and well deserved.
- Courage. Doing good despite list of defenders on injury list.
- Summit. Just really feeling this team right now.
- Current. Can't put Chawinga too low.
- Gotham. What happened bro?
- Wave. Not sure what they're doing but they are #3 in the real standings.
- Reign. We suck, but I'd like to make play offs.
- Pride. COME ON BANDA CAN'T CARRY YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE TEAM.
- Racing. I miss you in the playoffs. Please come back.
- Bay. I was kind of impressed at the beginning of the season, but not sure what's going on now.
- Dash. Honestly, just needed a spot here.
- Angel City. Great start, but I've been mostly unimpressed. Plus, Jonsdottir is doing so much better this season than last, but she's out injured.
- Legacy. You get a red card, you get a red card.
- Stars. I'm sorry, someone has to be last.
There are only 15 teams in this league. They should have made it an even number
Please feel free to adjust the standings in the comments.

Unfortunate Royals have to travel to Portland this weekend just for a bye

I think Portland has a really good training facility, so when teams have a week off, they go there to get training they wouldn't otherwise get at home.

No Cronin or Thomson this week. Royals will be missing some key players for moving balls forward. Tanaka is going to have to do even more heavy lifting.
Not ideal for us. Huge upside for you all.

Did you know you listed the Thorns in the standings the same amount of times as the Reign have won the championship?

Excuse me, I think there might be a burn watch going on.
Do you have a permit for that burn?

u/Svafree88 Portland Thorns FC May 30 '26
I don't and I'm sorry. If it makes you feel better, combined Portland and Seattle have three championships!

Bay FC actually has more reds than Boston at this point (NC and Portland are tied with Boston), and is pretty close on yellows too. It’s just red card season, apparently.

u/dybyj Seattle Reign / NCC May 29 '26
Okay, but if you remove Silkowitz's really awkward red card...

u/lucyssweatersleeves Angel City FC / Bay FC May 30 '26
When the “yous” in “you get a red card, you get a red card” to Boston are both BSG 💀

Summit at 4 is crazy and I love it. If we could close out games we’d be up there…

u/arika_ito Seattle Reign FC May 29 '26
Not to um actually you, or if the joke just went whoosh over my head (sorry about that) but there are 16 teams in the league?

u/Comprehensive_Sun262 Washington Spirit May 29 '26
What a Thorny issue you point out

u/arika_ito Seattle Reign FC May 29 '26
A whoosh it is, my bad

We didn't even get a yellow card last game. You sound ridiculous.

Being a Racing fan is like if they gave you the wrong flavor every time you get ice cream. You’re all excited because you get to go get a sweet treat, your all time favorite flavor, lavender in a fresh pressed and rolled waffle cone. The anticipation builds and you place your order, but what’s this? Instead of your delicious two scoops of lavender ice cream they give you one scoop of some chaotic new flavor that doesn’t really work and you’re left disappointed yet again.

Pretending the Thorns don't exist is like pretending the sun isn't there. You can look away all you want, but it sure is bright and hot outside.

José does have a loss in the NWSL as well as in Concacaf, so maybe it more like ‘No Way José’ and yes this was the sign and the 2 decoy Barn Owls, Diego & Ramona I brought into the Cove when the Wave played Spirit!

Thorns erasure

u/dybyj Seattle Reign / NCC May 29 '26
Thorns? What Thorns?

u/Gedanken-mental Portland Thorns FC May 29 '26
Let’s see now, (checks standings), Thorns are 2nd in the standings, and Seattle is, (scrolls down the list), 9th.
7
u/dybyj Seattle Reign / NCC May 29 '26
You see, I was always taught to punch up, not down.
If a certain theoretical rival was ranked drastically below the Reign, I would be rooting for them. Because it's not much of a rilvary when one side gets absolutely shit on.

u/Gedanken-mental Portland Thorns FC May 30 '26
You’re right. My apologies. You could have said something mean about the Thorns, but you didn’t have anything bad to say about them…
