NC Courage vs. Chicago Red Stars semifinal preview and match thread

The North Carolina Courage took the league by storm in 2018. They broke six league records on their way to a second-consecutive NWSL Shield, and now they set their sights on a league championship. History is stacked against them. None of the previous five shield-winning teams were able to secure a win in the Final.
