Ann does have a complete lack of regard for life and limb style of goal keeping and I don't know the numbers but I wouldn't be surprised to hear shes the player who gets the most concusssion checks either. I'm impressed Jess hasn't got grey hair yet 😭
She definitely gives it her all 😅The statistic on the right is Fouls Suffered, and AKB has more than goalkeepers #2 and #3 combined 😶

But congrats again very well deversed
Those shorts are incredible! It's such a shame there are no full body pics, I wanted to see them in all their colorful glory! 😁
Lol, that's one of those questions that we should send in if they ever ask fans for questions. Admin would be like "what the hell are they talking about? What's a coffee shirt???" 😂

They're so right but its great to See woso being promoted through the mens World cup
HAHA! At one point in the Germany-Curacao game, German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was hanging out at the half way line and I was like "Oh yes. As is tradition" 😉
Guess we will get a very proud post of the Gotham admin tomorrow...
Wondering why they don't just give it to her when she is visiting the german house of soccer on saturday
This hole Thing confuses me so much.
So she was "unable to attend" on the 17th, but will be in training today ...👀 and hasn't been seen since the last international game ... 👀 and neither has Jess ... 👀 and Beth is presumably not in Norway anymore ... 👀and a German anon confirmed that children are allowed an excused absence in Germany for weddings ... 👀
They are probably just on vacation after international duty but I'm enjoying our baseless speculation. Another anon pointed out that none of the international players were seen in traning so they probably were given time off.
That guy just wants an excuse to visit Gotham, because you're right, she WILL BE THERE in two days, just give her the award then??? 😂
In fairness they don't need her to be a leader on the pitch, they have an incredibly strong leadership group with players who play that role excellently. What they don't have is players who will consistently score sitters - they have gotten better at it, but they did that last year as well. The Gotham offense can at best be called spurty - they'll score 9 goals in 5 games then struggle for a single one again. If all she does is turn up and score a goal consistently, I think she's a good get.
We just also need a defender. Even a baby defender! Just literally anyone who can close out games so Carter gets some time off sometimes.
Totally! I think that the anon who talked about Sam Kerr's leadership just meant that she shouldn't be a captain for Australia, not that she will be or should be a leader at Gotham (and again, I have no opinion about this, I don't know enough about her). But I agree with you that Gotham is stacked in that regard.
A person who scores consistently would be a dream come true, so I would really love it if Sam joins and becomes that person! It's just that I find it baffling to let Lilly go, leaving us with 6 defenders technically, one of which is out for the season. (Guro and Midge are both listed as forwards on the 'meet the team' section on Gotham's website, so they haven't, officially at least, changed roles).
Sonnett played as a defensive midfielder in one game, didn't she? That worked. But if Tierna and Jess play CB, with Lilly gone there is no LB at all on the roster (other than Guro, but she's not a defender. As long as she doesn't get put into the 'defender' category on the website, I'll continue assuming this is not a longterm plan). If Bru or Mandy comes back, that's the RB sorted. I would also very much prefer for Jess to play CB rather than 'any position where someone is needed', so I hope a (left footed 😅) defender will be signed, even if it's just as a backup in case of injury or fatigue (like the anon above said, someone needs to be there so the defenders we do have don't have to play literally every minute). Sonnett and Jess were both actively dying by the end of last season, and with all of the international duty and extra games Gotham has this year compared to other NWSL clubs, I worry about this.
Yes, I completely agree! And AKB has said she was working on (or had finished getting?) her coaching license, so she could go into coaching as well. And I don't know if it's the kind of license where you can coach a professional team or an amateur team, but I feel like she would really enjoy coaching young goalkeepers or children, so both would be good, lmao.
The same person got back to me about the AKB/Thomas Hitzlsperger-thing, and said that the DFB probably got her e-mail, because they've changed the schedule. Both descriptions are now on the same "all day" event. Which probably just means they will both be there all day.
And AKB has a solo-event about The Save:
Followed by a meet & greet
Anon, I agree, I'm so jealous of people who get to go to the meet & greet! But if anyone on here is going: HAVE FUN! (and take a look at her rings please to see if a wedding ring has been added)

I think Lilly wanted this - she's from Boston, and I reckon they were prepping for her to go. I do wonder if they have a big name they're targeting? They also now have some money for the Jess and AKB contract renewal (now that they even more desperately need to keep the defenders they have. Especially the defender who is most experienced in LB, CB and RB)
We now know who the (rumoured) big name is: Sam Kerr. I also think that Lilly wanted to leave, but I wonder if she had indicated this when Boston got a team and it just took this long to materialize (and maybe that's why they signed Guro seemingly as a left back, because they knew Lilly would leave) or that her lack of playing time since Guro's signing made her evaluate her options? It's so weird. Lilly is so good, I really hate that she's gone now.
This got super long so I put it behind a read more:
I agree it would be smart to keep Jess and AKB, but the fact that Gotham have four goalkeepers does worry me somewhat; it seems to me that they are preparing for a future without AKB (though she is still their starting goalkeeper if she's uninjured). Simply because of her age, I can't imagine they'll give her a long contract. Don't get me wrong, I think she is amazing, obviously! But Gotham have multiple younger goalkeepers, and I don't see why they would have so many if they plan on keeping AKB another three years or so. I hope they do! But the signings don't make sense to me at all.
Another ask I just got said this:
According to the stats on nwslsoccer.com, both Jordynn and Esther have scored twice (the only forwards to score), though Khyah, Mak and Dre Kitahata have barely had any minutes. And Dre has played at least some of these minutes as a defender. So we can't really judge their effectiveness, but of the players who have actually gotten minutes, the most effective goalscorer has been (midfielder) Jaedyn Shaw with 4 goals. Lampson has not scored once so far.
So I do see why they would want a more classic striker in the front, especially since Esther has been kind of lacking so far. I feel like she's been much slower than last season. Guro-Sam has the potential to be incredible, but then they would need to put Guro as a left winger (where she belongs) right? And I know she's had some really good crosses into the box so far despite officially playing as a defender, and the defense has been really good with her and Midge in it, but still ... I would rather see Guro play up front.
If Bru and Mandy are indeed ready to come back, I would immediately be less worried, but right now I find the whole thing quite puzzling.
I don't have much of an opinion on Sam Kerr, since the only things I know about her are from that Chelsea documentary, lol. But I guess we'll see if Teagan Wy will have to give up her jersey number (20) if Sam transfers, the way it happened at Chelsea!
What the fuck? I know it's just a rumour for now, but ... just as Gotham starts actually scoring (in the first five games they only scored 2 goals, in the next five games they scored 9!), after their defence has saved their asses millions of times (only conceding 5 goals TOTAL this whole season) they get rid of a defender to buy a striker? If I were Khyah Harper I would ask to be traded as well, because she's not getting ANY minutes at this rate.
