The Washington Spirit are the 2021 NWSL Champions! You saw it, I saw it, and it’s been documented by photographers, witnesses, and video. No one can say that Andi Sullivan and Kelley O’Hara didn’t score, or that the game went any other way. The players have the trophy, they’re bringing it back to the District. It’s real.
I didn’t want to let the moment slip away, so here are some quick thoughts on the game. No deep dives, just putting what’s floating at the surface out there before I go eat some dinner, while we’re all still 100% in celebration mode.
