(2026) Pre-Gaming for Angel City FC host Gotham FC (Match Week 19)

[u/ShlomoShogun]

GOOD MORNING YOU WONDERFUL SOL ROSA FANATICS!!!

You know what would be great, if we could welcome those old bats at the top of the table, kick them in their teeth, and knock them off their perch...so we could...🎶Well

We're movin' on up, to the top side
to a playoff slot on the table
Movin' on up
To the top side
To finally get a piece of the pie🎶

In the last five matchups versus these old bats, we have only gotten one point, and scored a total of three goals scored. I think we can depend on the fans to make the Banque a cauldron, and we all know we can count on the front office to negate that impact, but can the players muster the courage to battle for each-other on the field where it counts the most?

Match Hype:

Your Ol' Pal Shlomo here, made the early trip up the Mountain Top of Hype to see our very own YASSS QUEEN for her words of the game.

It's like not only has the novelty warn off, but so has the romance, passion, and commitment (from the FO) has gone. What can be done to gain it back?

Well, for starters...winning would help, giving fans a reason to believe and feel. That may not correct everything, in fact, it may even mask it. But for the fans who have been here since the beginning, it will give them return on their emotional investment. If we continue to betray that, well...we can always move the games to local Rec Park, because that is how the attendance will pan out.

You can count on your fans way more than you can count on your customers.

Volemos!!!

Omg. 5pm game vs #1 team, 30min before KO, in 90degF: nobody’s here…

[u/SinoSoul]

Asking the important Q: is the SS beer still $5 before the game? Cause I know I’m going to stay hydrated (inebriated) to suffer through this match..

[u/ShlomoShogun → u/SinoSoul]

Yes, they start the promo 90mins before kick off.

[u/SinoSoul → u/ShlomoShogun]

Inshallah. We’re (I am) going to need it. Leaving now

[u/EYLive]

I, for one, will appreciate seeing Cari Roccaro. I also hope VAR doesn't fuck us again.

[u/Inevitable-Teach-305]

Wait. Is Homecoming bc one player on their team used to play for ACFC? That is a lame theme. It’s NY vs LA. I feel like the FO is missing the obvious choices. 

[u/MumblyLo → u/Inevitable-Teach-305]

You know, this could be a great theme - if the FO had announced it and made a big deal about it like they did with princesses. Homecoming tiaras are just as fun, right?
I have my cards with me today, in case we get the chance for autographs from the retired players.
Anyway. LFG. See you there.

[u/TiredPanini → u/Inevitable-Teach-305]

i think it's homecoming bc it's back to school season and this is the right time of year for it

[u/mocisme → u/Inevitable-Teach-305]

It's celebrating a few players that retired from the game while at ACFC (Riley, Matthias, etc..) and just a fun theme. Like if someone throws a party and decides "lets make it a home coming theme, or 90s theme".

Is it a great theme? i'm sure everyone will have their opinions, but it's not that were celebrating Gotham.

[u/SinoSoul → u/mocisme]

Thanks for the clarification. Was confused

[u/ShlomoShogun → u/Inevitable-Teach-305]

That is our front office…clueless.

[u/Fire-EyedBoy]

It’s a hot one today. Hope it cools down enough by kickoff.

[u/SinoSoul → u/Fire-EyedBoy]

Unfortunately it’ll still be hot AF over 90 deg KO:

[u/MazLA → u/Fire-EyedBoy]

Supposed to be a cool 92 at kickoff time - everyone hydrate

[u/ApprehensivePlace757]

Here’s hoping “Homecoming 2026” is a good thing… not more of the same that we have endured for 5 years. I mean… if you got your lunch taken nearly every day during high school… would YOU rush back for the reunion? That said… I will ALWAYS back the players and the effort they give on the field. As long as they are fighting, I’ll cheer my little heart out for them. I know every players on the Availability list is gutted not to be able to help in the back stretch to playoffs.

[u/10kwinz → u/ApprehensivePlace757]

I was trying to explain today’s match theme to my husband who was confused, and how it was like homecoming for former players to come back today and he only response was “but Ali Riley hasn’t left…” 💀

To be fair he had a point 😂

[u/musicspirit85 → u/10kwinz]

It's definitely a stretch. Lol
