One day in the off season, I was writing things into ChatGPT like, what is Seattle Reign's identity?' And it would spurt it out. And I was like I don't know if that's true or not. And then I put in what formation should you play to beat NWSL teams?' and it spurted out every team in the league and what formation you should play.
The injuries came as fast as the goals. One, two, three Chicago Stars players were down and out by the 55th minute of Monday's match against the Seattle Reign. That moment felt like a low point in what's already been a dire season for Chicago: second-to-last in the table, a sad succession of head coaches and interims, and now a three-goal deficit to match the number of key players injured for who-knows-how-long.
