Live sports are back! The Chicago Red Stars open the group stage of the NWSL Challenge Cup tonight against the Washington Spirit.
Tonight’s game is kind of a cross between a season opener and a preseason match. Yes, we’re all excited the Red Stars are back, but it’s important to remember the team has yet to play a game at all in 2020. Head Coach Rory Dames told reporters the first two matches will be entirely “scripted,” meaning barring an injury, he already knows who will start, and which subs will enter the game at which times.
