What's the point of a stadium lease if Bridgeview can just kick Red Stars (and also the Fire and Hounds) out of their workplace despite prior schedule commitments?
The Fire and Bears are both on the road, so Soldier Field is open...

Luebbert on Club América fans: "It's so cool. I love the Club América fans. They've been so great to me and I don't know why, but I love it. It's amazing. I love seeing Club América jerseys still in the stands. It's been cool, but I'm happy to be back in Chicago too"

Hey y’all. So we’re still doing a show today, but we’re gonna pivot a little. Chat about how we’re feeling, how today affects us all but certainly women’s sports. If you wan to lurk, hang, chat, distract, anything, we’ll be on a 11:30
NEWS: Chicago's Bianca St-Georges has been selected for Canada's 23-player World Cup qualifying roster can we get a Summer of St-Georges level hell yeah in the chat
#MKOT
Match ends 2-2, and while Chicago has to feel like they could've gotten all three points, they did not conced after the 60th minute despite making their standard sub rotation, and that's a huge step forward. Good point
#MKOT
#NWSL
And THAT is a RED. STARS. WINNER!!!!
Ally Schlegel and Ava Cook get the goals, 3 HUUUGE saves from Alyssa Naeher, and it’s 3 big points on the road!
Home opener next Saturday at Seat Geek vs Seattle

"Bravery is part of it... but the headband gives me superpowers... I think what I'm learning about aerial challenges is that it's all about the timing... I'm always trying to think smarter" - Schlegel on her aerial dual success
#withthestars
For the first time in over a month the RED STARS WIN!
Mal does Mal things, Jameese Joseph gets her first career goal, Alyssa Naeher and Tatumn Milazzo will once again battle for 'Save of the Week'
Maybe the best overall performance of the season, 3-0 W on the road

The Chicago Red Stars confirmed today that Kayla Sharples suffered a torn ACL in this weekend’s match against the Orlando Pride, and will miss the rest of the season. Brutal news for a staple of the backline.

"You gain callous, in a way... you can't let that take away your mentality... we just have to move forward" - Schlegel
Wow, so what happened: Foul called, Chicago quick starts it while Louisville is still arguing with the ref, BSG ricochets off the bar, Colaprico sends it, gets deflected, BSG sliding finish. 2-1

news today, but

did take a look at how Chicago held on against OL Reign without losing their legs. They’ll need to do so again on Wednesday.
#MKOT
So how do we feel about that one, Red Stars fans? Unbeaten in six - three wins, three draws. Get one player back, lose another almost immediately. What’s the vibe?
It’s hard not to feel at this moment like the players themselves have done a great job adapting this season, and they’ve reached the limit of what they can do on their own without addition FO help
@ScoutRipley
I’m glad you guys talked about this on
@CHGO_RedStars
pod. It seemed negligent earlier this summer to not make any moves to bring players in, even though they were playing well. The grind of the season is really showing on the field now.
Gooood morning

fans! Thought I'd try something a little bit new, and go through some of Saturday's postgame quotes in a Monday morning quote thread:
INBOX: The Red Stars have completed the signing of Canadian international midfielder Julia Grosso from Juventus on. a contract through the 2026 season.
She will join the team after the Olympics. 🇨🇦

Game day in the *very* Windy City!!
Red Stars (surprisingly good!) vs Portland Thorns (surprisingly bad) in a battle of teams with quite a playoff history

Luebbert on playing wingback: "I would say sometimes I second guessed myself. And Zoe [Morse] was always behind me telling me whether it was okay for me to go, whether it wasn't okay for me to go. And I think as the game went on, I got more comfortable in the role."
#MKOT
#NWSL
Well! That ended a bit weird. The Red Stars let the game get away from them at the end, but four goals is four goals. System worked for 75 minutes, Pugh hasn’t missed a step. Good bounce back
#MKOT
#NWSL
BIG and very good signing for the Red Stars.
They desperately need some creativity and ball progression in midfield, and Grosso is an elite player in both departments
#withthestars
#nwsl
HUGE 4-0 win for Chicago over the league-leading Current. They’re tied with Houston on points and sit in fifth, four points clear of the playoff line. Pugh with a brace and an assist, and two solid defender goals from Tatumn Milazzo and Amanda Kowalski
"Alyssa told me we were going to be okay, so when she said that I felt a lot better.” - Chicago had a weird month, but the vets are taking it one game at a time, with a confidence earned over years.
