This season for Angel City FC has been a bit disappointing. The team has lost 2 of three matches. Pre-season preparations for the team have still not made any impact. Fans are waiting for Alyssa Thompson to step up to the hype. She has scored once, but, being the first draft pick of the 2023 NWSL draft fans, she has higher expectations.
Owner Alexis Ohanian with daughter Olympia was in attendance for the latest matchup. Record no. of fans stood in dismay yet again as they barely brought the game back against Racing Louisville. With Alyssa Thompson not playing, the team’s offense was lacking, and Louisville took full advantage of that gap.
