The past couple of weeks have been exactly what the Chicago Red Stars needed: A win in front of a record home crowd, followed by a blowout win in front of a sellout crowd on the road. After a bad stretch of games during the World Cup, the Red Stars have emphatically jumped back into the playoff picture. And this week they face up against another team who had a massive boost in quality with the return of national team players: the Utah Royals.
Sadly, for both teams, the USWNT is going to be on their ‘Victory Tour’.
