Joy Taylor teams up for 'double trouble' with MJ Acosta

Dec 24, 2023

FOX Sports host Joy Taylor has revealed where her soccer allegiances lie.

The Speak anchor, 34, joined fellow reporter MJ Acosta-Ruiz to take in Angel City FC's game with the Chicago Red Stars on Tuesday.

Taylor and Ruiz posed in replica jerseys pitchside ahead of the NWSL match at BMO Stadium.

They both picked jersey No. 22, with their names adorned across the back.

Ruiz is a trailblazer in sports broadcasting, winning an Emmy award for her work on NFL Total Access.

She is also the first Afro-Latina and woman of color to host a show on the NFL Network.

The pair looked to be having a ball in Los Angeles, with Joy captioning the snaps: "Thanks [Angel City FC] for an awesome time."

One fan replied to the post: "You’re literally so cute Joy!"

Another said: "The Angel City kit is TOUGH."

While a third laughed: "Hey Joy show us your skills girl go long I'll pass it to you."

And a fourth added: "Just an incredible pairing."

A fifth added: "Double trouble."

Angel City FC was formed in 2020 and began playing competitively in the NWSL in 2022.

The team's ownership boasts high-profile names including Natalie Portman, Eva Longoria, Mia Hamm, and Serena Williams.

Sadly for Joy, her new team couldn't get the victory on a tough night for the hosts.

They went down 2-1 to the Red Stars, extending their winless run to four matches.

Angel City sit 11th in the NWSL standings, with nine points from their 10 games played.
