ok realizing that all my shows lately are pretty much about soccer and/or murder but i would just like to say as a Soccer Girl from a Soccer Family with a Soccer Dad, if you are a television writer/director/producer/actor and you didn't play soccer, please for the love of god make sure that SOMEONE is analyzing the frame to make sure nobody's offsides. please. please i am begging you. also yellowjackets if your players aren't immediately running back to your keeper on the third whistle (OF A CHAMPIONSHIP NO LESS) then what kind of fucking team are they. yeah sure ok they eat each other. fine. BUT THEY WOULD HAVE GONE TO GET THEIR FUCKING KEEPER

#even my team did that for me and my coach did NOTHING to encourage it because i wasn't good enough for him and he didn't take me seriously #as a keeper or a player or a fucking captain #he was obsessed w my co-captain even though she was 0% committed #literally we would plan captains' practices over the summer and she wouldn't fucking show up to them #which meant nobody else did either because she was literally captain bc she was popular and influential #and a ranked lacrosse player who basically just played soccer to stay fit in the off season but was therefore v athletic #like not particularly good at soccer but fast and coachable which served the team v well #espec we were like the only two senior starters who had been starters as juniors #but the point is she didn't CARE. i cared SO MUCH #but i was also having an Intense Personal Crisis senior season so of course he didn't take me seriously. whatever. it's fine #(i'm clearly still bitter but like. the point is that i was a SOCCER GIRL do NOT piss me off)
