Wow! Croix really made up for that point-blank shot she missed earlier in the game. What a goal!

[@genericuser6023]

Yeah you never played professional anything so can it. "Let me insult her before I compliment her..."

[@stuartcampbell4626]

Wow! If she continues on this course, I would be surprised if Croix Bethune does not become in short time the most exciting player not named Aitana Bonmatí: the touch, dynamism, vision, and most of all speed of processing...

[@edwinlemus8530]

I don't want to get ahead of the hoopla, but is Bethune the real deal? Is not her goal that impress me but, -her touch -her IQ -her flirt with the ball -her passes. the race for Rookie of the year is over.

[@rosalynreynoso]

She is THAT girl

[@tijanabll]

So impressive for her age and honestly inexperience as a rookie, first year in the professional game, unbelievable, she is really so so good.

Love my spirit!!!

[@patrickmcmahon910]

As a Spirit fan Trinity is my favorite player but she needs to set up her teammates more and take fewer shots from distance. Too many good chances not realized. So glad that Croix pulled it out at the end.

Girma was shutting down Rodman one on one..

[@johnl6855]

Exciting NWSL games over the weekend. Chicago vs KC and this one.

[@edwinlemus8530]

I never thought, I would say this: Rodman, p l e a s e do not shoot.!!!😁- -Stronger than Lynn Willians -Faster than Lynn Willians - but, but, shoots like Lynn Willians. The whole potential is there...is it stubbornness or...How many times she must shoot to realize goalkeepers laughing all they long as long as long she keeps giving them the ball. Well, she's young though...there is hope and a new coach coming.

[@AkoaMAx]

She’s literallly learning in real time. Can only improve my guy. At least she has the one thing you can’t teach and that’s speed and flare 🌝

[@conniemartinez2064]

I agree.

[@applemnster6309]

She became a better shooter when Emma Hayes came in

[@AkoaMAx]

@@applemnster6309 lol. AND she’s only just getting started :-)

[@Mia-zn5kc]

sdwave getting scored on in the LAST minute of stoppage time to tie up the game just feels like a big loss

[@lizcech]

No crumbs!

[@adamfox1445]

Someone tell me why Rodman, who I think can be a really good player stops after losing the ball or shoots the ball. No follow up or defense. There were plenty of times she watched the ball thinking it was going out and the Wave picked it up. Makes no since. It's like she gives up. Also this falling down crap all the time. She needs to control the temper and use that energy to score goals.

[@conniemartinez2064]

I agree. You put words to my thoughts.

[@yellowdeer7163]

Alex Morgan unfortunately aggravated her ankle in this game. Not looking good for her in the coming Olympics. Darn.

[@IngridAndDjuna]

I don’t watch games filmed from the Goodyear blimp.

[@kjreames]

Blatant handball in the box and no PK. Unfortunate assist from Abby to give Bethune the goal to tie it up. Bummer

[@zheminglian37]

If you take a closer look, it was a “blatant” handball by SD player, bummer

[@kjreames]

If you look even closer you can see it touching the hand of the Washington player at 56:37 on the game clock

[@jaymea8907]

Rodman is a ball hog, sure she has wheels but doesn’t finish.

[@lmark1337]

es la versión mujer de Dembele 😅

[@txlonghorn638]

Well she's the team's best player and sometimes has to carry the team on her shoulders. She does need to hog the ball sometimes, she just needs to know when. Great player! One of the best and most exciting to watch in the women's game!

[@americanlfcfan61]

​@@txlonghorn638She's not the teams best player

[@jaymea8907]

@@txlonghorn638 nah she’s not the teams best player. I do like Rodman. But if she would have looked for teammates a few times, the outcome would have been better.

[@edwinlemus8530]

I like Rodman too, she's a force, but caramba muchacha! got it put some spin on the ball or at least try to bend it a little bit when shooting: the hard flat shot to the goalkeeper does not work. Ay caramba.
