“Excited for This Angel City Team” – Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s ACFC Hammers Mexico’s Club America Ahead of 2023 NWSL Season, Fans React

The NWSL season is closer than you think. All twelve women’s soccer clubs are gearing up for their next season. After a strong NWSL draft round for each of them, a team like Angel City FC is miles ahead of its competitors. Angel City FC has a few popular co-founders on board like Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian, Natalie Portman, Eva Longoria, and many more. As a result, the LA-based soccer club is always in the public eye. A few days ago, the soccer club announced it will play a pre-season friendly game against Club America.

While the NWSL doesn’t have an official preseason, the LA-based soccer club is doing all it can to prepare itself better than the others for the upcoming tournament.

Angel City FC cruise to a 3-0 win!

It is important to remember that Angel City FC didn’t kick a soccer ball for months before this game. On the other hand, Club America have already played eight games of their season. Their most recent game was just two days ago. The fans were initially worried about the players being ‘rusty’. However, Angel City FC has shocked everyone yet again.

Despite being the unpolished side, the LA-based club dominated the Mexican women’s soccer club. Angel City FC took the lead in the game’s fifth minute. Prolific teenage striker, Alyssa Thompson slotted the ball into the back of the net.

After a dominating first half, the American soccer club piled on Club America’s misery after scoring another one. Defender, Paige Neilsen doubled her team’s lead in emphatic style from a set piece. Let’s have a look at the fans reacted to Angel City FC’s dominating display of soccer.

All in all, the fans are pretty satisfied with Angel City FC’s first performance of the season. It’s safe to say that they’re expecting a strong finish this season from the LA-based soccer club.

Fans still await Christen Press’ return

It’s safe to say that everyone’s eyes would be on Alyssa Thompson for this game. And the teenage phenomenon did not disappoint! She managed to score a goal all by herself in the first few minutes of the match itself. Apart from Thompson, Sarah Gorden will make her debut for the club after more than a year. The LA-based soccer club purchased the defensive anchor prior to its inaugural season. However, she suffered a serious injury that ended her season before it officially started.

The fans are also eagerly waiting for Christen Press’ return. The USWNT superstar’s season came to an unfortunate end after just eight games last season. However, the medics have told the soccer club to halt her comeback plan as of now. This would probably be just a precautionary measure considering the upcoming FIFA women’s World Cup as well.
