The Portland Thorns got together for a team photo after Saturday’s win at the Chicago Red Stars, but they forgot to include the person most responsible for said victory.
Sophia Smith, who scored both goals in a 2-0 win, was in the middle of a TV interview, but didn’t let that stop her from letting her teammates know about the egregious oversight.
It made for some excellent TV.
Smith was speaking to ION after the game, and the timing of her noticing the photo serendipitously flowed right into her sentence.
“I have a great team around me and…they’re taking a team picture without me! Hello!?” Smith called out in bemusement, before giving a look that will launch a thousand memes.

“Sorry, that was so disrespectful,” Smith concluded.
