I have some thoughts about a certain player. So many people have been shitting on Katie McCabe recently. She has definitely not been at her best but she plays so much and she has been under a lot of pressure for club but especially for country. Ireland was so close to qualifying for the euros for the first time and ass the captain she was under so much pressure to push the team over the line. You could see how much it crushed her to not win that final game.

Also something that has been on my mind for over a year now is how Katie is refed. I’ve noticed it with other platers but I’ll talk about it with her now. It feels to me that referees dont ref the game in front of them they ref the reputation of the player. Now what i mean by that is that their reputation will precede the player so the ref will always have their eyes on them. Contact that would have been let go by another ref or even the same ref done by another player is punished. The second Katie touches a player the whistle is blown and dont get me wrong Katie deserves many of the fouls she gives away but things that are carded on her would just be a warning for others. I can only imagine how frustrating that is for her as a player too. It must really wind her up which then leads her to feed into the foul and the decent. I also think she gets a lot of arsenal cards for decent cos she keeps talking to the ref and she’s not supposed to when she’s not captain. I just feel like there are some things that Katie is getting penalized for that the refs would let go if another player did them. Even players on her own team get away with stuff she doesn’t. It isn’t fair to me and clearly not to her either.

Quickly another thing is some players get fouled a lot and it doesn’t get called at all. People brought it up about Olivia smith cos Leah fouled her good and it wasn’t called and in that instance i disagree, Olivia goes down really hard when she falls I’ve noticed that when she plays for Canada she needs to get her muscle up. I do agree that some players are unfairly refereed. An example is Mayra rameniez she gets fouled all of the time by all teams in the wsl and even the uwcl. But she rarely gets fouls called on her. Similarly with Bunny Shaw. Many people bring up the racial aspect of their circumstances because those two specifically are tall, strong women of colour and the refs may not view their pains as real but if you were to look at the wsl last season they both missed out on parts of the season with injuries which could be attributed to the knocks they took from the fouls they had during games.

Idk what the point to my rambling is. I just want fair and even referring and players to stay safe that’s all

MATCHDAY FOR SL BENFICA IN UWCL QUALIFIERS, ROUND 2 - SECOND LEG!

[allthingsrusso]

alessia will join up with the squad at SGP on wednesday, following an "extended period of recuperation". following her world cup, she went to sweden to play UWCL qualifiers with arsenal, which is likely the reason why she is getting an extra couple days of rest.

so kiss me | laura freigang

warnings: f for fluff

word count: 748

summary: laura asks if she can kiss you, provided that frankfurt finishes top three in the league

a/n: a little blurb in honour of laura freigang fc making it to the uwcl 😊

it’s after frankfurt's loss to leverkusen in march, when everyone begins to doubt if they'll be able to make third place that laura makes a bet with you.

that if your club do qualify for the champions league, she can kiss you.

frankfurt makes it. despite all the odds, your club makes it.

you sorta think the forward’s forgotten because she goes through the entire post match celebrations without mentioning it.

you don't know if you're disappointed or relieved.

barely a half hour after you make it home, your phone chimes with a text from laura.

it reads, 'are you too tired?'

you hesitate wondering what she is up to before replying, 'no?'

her response comes quickly, 'great! open your door please?'

with wide eyes, you do as she asks and it reveals the smiling blonde outside your apartment.

'lau what are you doing here?'

the german woman in question winks, 'as you know i made a bet with you...'

you blush and she continues, 'and since we did qualify i was thinking about the kiss you owe me.'

'the kiss i owe you? i recall the conversation quite differently lau. more of a you asking me if you can kiss me if we finish third in the league.'

laura tsks, 'semantics.'

you roll your eyes with fond exasperation, 'still doesn't explain why you are here.’

the blonde grins, 'right so as i was saying before you so kindly interrupted me, i was thinking about our kiss.'

despite what she just mentioned, about you interrupting her, you do so again, 'our kiss? we haven't kissed yet.'

'exactly! we shouldn't just kiss without at least having one date. that's why i'm here...to ask if i can take you out on a first date.' laura finishes shyly and you stare at her in surprise.

'it's almost midnight schatz and you didn’t say anything after the game so i thought you forgot.’ you whisper.

'the late hour doesn’t mean my feelings for you lessen and there’s no way i forget anything about you. the two goals i scored tonight were just for you.’ she murmurs, her cheeks turning a pretty shade of pink.

it's so cute that you can't resist leaning in to press an affectionate kiss onto said blush.

'okay. okay let's go.'

'really? cause i was prepared to do a whole lot more convincing.' laura rambles in disbelief.

'schatz if you don't shut up, i'm going to have to kiss you to make you stop.'

the blonde goes quiet but smiles brightly at you.

'our date first. then i'm going to kiss you.'

'more than once i hope. because you're not the only one with more than friendly feelings lau.' you murmur.

laura if possible, looks even happier.

'as many as you'd like.' she promises and eagerly takes your hand in hers.

and the striker doesn't disappoint.

she takes you to get ice cream at a twenty four hour dessert place and teasingly steals spoonfuls of your ice cream whenever you're distracted.

which is easy when you’re sitting opposite the laura freigang, the most beautiful person you have ever seen.

she’s got such mesmerising blue gray eyes and her blonde hair frames her face perfectly.

the german woman is in a simple sweatpants and hoodie but you think you might fall in love with her.

when she takes you back to your apartment, she draws you close to her by placing her hands on your waist.

‘close your eyes.’ she barely audibly murmurs.

you listen to her, eyes fluttering shut in anticipation.

still, nothing can quite prepare you for the moment laura presses her lips against yours.

tentatively at first but far more confidently once you melt into her and bring your hands up to cup her face.

right there and then, you are certain that falling in love with your fellow eintracht frankfurt player is inevitable. she’s just that special.

the feeling seems to be mutual because the striker readily accepts your invitation to come into your apartment.

it’s in your bedroom that she fulfils her promise entirely, sharing kiss after kiss with you.

intimate ones, teasing ones, ones that have you gasping her name, she holds true to her words.

as many as you'd like is what she promised you. as many as you like is what laura gives you.

for tonight at first and then for the rest of your life as she goes from your crush, to your girlfriend and eventually to your wife.

schatz - sweetheart
