Guys now that we all had a moment to think and breathe can I just talk about Alexandra Fucking Krieger? Like for a second there, for a whole two years actually, she was done. She lost her starting spot, she stopped getting calls up, and then she lost her allocation, spent the whole of 2018 investing in her post soccer career but she kept her form and kept her positive attitude and then in the last 10 secs of 2019 wc prep she gets called up?

Like I’m not gonna lie, I was happy to see her at camp but I thought they were gonna retire her and use the games to send her off, but!!! Jillian Anne Ellis!!!! Made me go bobo the fool because she fucking put her name in the 2019 World Cup Roster and said those bullshit lines about Ali being there because of her experience and that no moment was too big for her at this point and you know what? She was right, Ali went from not playing for 2 whole years to being the #1 defensive sub of the game, the insurance against injury on the backline, out of all the players she got more minutes than Pugh, Tierna, Sonnet like who would even think that?

Certainly not me, I was fine with her having a nice trip to France for the summer with her fiancee but this absolute bitch of a player gets called up to come in and play a fucking final, because Kelley ‘i have a secret gf’ O’hara got a concussion, and she had not only the experience but the calmness to make sure the backline kept a cleansheet with only one shot on goal, like can you imagine having to put Sonnett or Tierna in that situation, against a desperate Netherlands? in a World Cup Final? 

But you know what, that wasnt even the second time she’s had to that. Alexandra Fucking Krieger, with 100 caps under her belt, went to France and got herself a fucking World Cup, her second one.
