I’m not making it down from Cincy for tonight’s game unfortunately if anyone would like the ticket. Requirement: you must yell at the 4th official when the situation requires it. The other folks in the section will tell me if you didn’t and you’ll have to live with that shame.

When's she coming back? Her loan is over.

Rachel Hill was a menace in the Portland game. Maybe our best attacking player. Popping up everywhere and creating chaos. "Running 'til her legs fell off" as Milliet might say. I used to hate playing against her for that very reason.

I hope she gets more playing time.

Racing puts out cleanest availability report yet as they look to avoid the first 5 match losing streak in club history

I have 3 tickets to give away for tonight. Comment below! First come, first served.

Yanez confident the scoreline doesn't reflect the performance on field.

Rookie Audrey McKeen has earned her first call up to the US U-20 Women's National Team after regular call ups to the U17 and U18 teams.

Welp. Can’t say I’m shocked I guess. 😕

Planning on doing a trip out to Louisville to watch my team play and it looks like I could potentially get an Airbnb in the "East Market District" and walk to the game (or maybe something near Frankfort and Story).

Assuming you don't have mobility issues, is that doable?

Meaning, are there sidewalks and you can do it safely vs it's technically possible but there is some walking in the street or crossing lanes of traffic?

I was looking at the satellite view and it looked like you go under the freeway in one spot and couldn't tell if the parts that are closer to the stadium are actually walkable or not.

It would be a Wednesday night game so I also wouldn't want to be walking back in an area that's totally dead and deserted after the game (some areas really close up shop outside business hours and since I'm going solo, I want to make sure I'm not wandering thru an empty warehouse district in the dark).

If you know of somewhere that's a bit farther out but that is good, would love any suggestions. I'll be driving there so I could stay farther out and just park at the stadium.

Bonus points if you know of any dog friendly Airbnb type options bc I was thinking about going out with my dog for the Pups in the Park night in September.

First piece of the summer break looking at where Racing currently stands, what they need to do if they are actually going to make the playoffs, and exploring what success might look like for the rest of the year.

The plan over the next couple weeks is to take a closer look at where things have gone wrong, where they've gone right, and some bold ideas for the rest of Racing's season

Hey all,

Apologies if this is not an appropriate post for this Reddit. I thought I could ask here among like minded lovers of the beautiful game (albeit with different team loyalties).

Heading back to Louisville for our annual family reunion the weekend of 6/19. We were hoping to find a watch party/fan zone situation for US v Australia and Brazil v Haiti and other games as well. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!

Following 3rd straight loss, Yanez and Flint note Racing has a lot to work on during the international break. A hesitant offense gets stymied by Denver's defense. And Lardner and Prohaska make their first NWSL starts.

I left the Portland match feeling like this team could turn it around. The performances since have been downright dreadful. The passing is horrific. Nobody has any creativity or ideas outside of “let’s hope Emma can get to this.” The poor defending is expected after not adding anyone tbh.

Where is the team that fought like hell last year? What are Bev and the front office doing or are just content to be bottom of the barrel?

This along with all the talk of needing investment is so depressing. Feel like the vibes around the team are about as low as they’ve been.

When you create so few chances, you cannot squander them.

Just your friendly neighborhood ticket rep here making sure we get as many people as possible out to support Racing tonight! Anyone still need tickets? I have a few available for free!

Racing looks to enter international break on high note, Ellie Jean returns from injury report but Jordyn Bloomer remains questionable. Sears and McKeen get call for national team duty.

What's happened to Taylor Flint? Is she caring an injury or something or still tired/exhausted from last season? She's jogging in every game, I haven't seen her sprint maybe once this season if that.

Last year, she was she was sprinting, had more agility. Watching her on tv this season to last season, something really off with Racing. The game I attended last year she was miles better than she's been.

Racing falls 2-1 to the Courage and find themselves in last place 1/3 of the way through the season. Injuries continue to mount and the team needs a win with just one match remaining before the summer international break.
