#but damn ash you absolute beast hope you get some icy hot for your back

I missed the game - Ash got injured and then saved a PK? Is this a Steph Labbé part two?

You know what, I’ll do you one better, anon. Behold, the entire game summarized in ten gifs, across the span of three minutes of in-game play. 

First, the two angles of the supposed penalty and Ash's injury:

Honestly, the call was pretty iffy to me. VAR would’ve been helpful here (Exploria has it, so no idea why it can’t be used in matches, tbh). The first angle looked like a foul, but the second gif made it look like a clean tackle. Le Sommer's body just collides with Ash's outstretched leg resulting it somewhat snapping backwards. Nothing intentional on either end, of course, but both of them got off rather poorly. Clearly, it looked worse on the replay than the actual injury since Ash walked it off, but I've definitely seen someone break their leg or dislocate a kneecap from that kind of collision so she was super lucky. 

Then, Pointing™ from the Pride (with a bonus smug Fishlock thanking the ref):

I actually chuckled at how Marissa seemed genuinely more upset than Turner who committed the foul, Taylor was thinking about what she was gonna have for post-game snack, Phoebe with the 'maybe I'll get him to change his mind if I give a little peak of my abs', Strom off in the background contemplating if she should get involved, and finally AK with her hands on her hips in full-on Disappointed Mom™ mode and trying to glare some sense into the ref’s back.

Then we go to Ash pointing at herself with the 'a PK, again? Fine but give me damn minute', while Marissa continues her Oscar-worthy meltdown in the back.

Finally, we had my favourite parts: (1) the deliberate pan over to Britt nervously taking her earrings off and looking like she's just been selected to give an unprepared public speech at her high school graduation; and (2) Jess' cocky 'I'm gonna end this bitch's streak, just watch I got this' completely unaware about Apollo’s gift curse of prophecy coming up in less than a minute.

And finally, the most beautiful moment of the entire match:

And that's it, anon. That was basically the whole game in 3 minutes, 10 gifs, and, what I consider to be, a David Attenborough-calibre commentary (not).
