The sacrifice & skill to block shots is an indication of how mentally prepared a team is for a match.
#NYCFC had 7 blocked shots to set the stage for their win at #CharlotteFC

To quote @jasondcsoccer.bsky.social, soccer is easy, you just get the ball and run in a straight line as fast as you can
Another look at the incredible Marta run that led to the penalty.
To do this in the 5th minute of stoppage time after playing a full 90 is insane.
