The 2018 NWSL Championship is a rematch of the 2017 edition, with the North Carolina Courage taking on Portland Thorns FC. Both teams finished in 1st and 2nd respectively, just like last year, and both teams are the best two teams in the NWSL when it comes to the eyeball test. This time, though the Courage are technically the “home” team due to being the higher seed, this game will be played in Portland in front of a huge crowd that really, really doesn’t like anything about the Courage.
Let’s hope that’s not the only difference.
