It’s time to be very concerned about the Chicago Red Stars. Coming off being shutout by the Washington Spirit in a 2-0 defeat, they have now been shutout a second time. This time it’s a 3-0 loss to the Portland Thorns. Let’s get into it a bit.
The Thorns were itching to have a big start in their first game in the recently renovated Providence Park and it showed throughout the game. Only three minutes in, Midge Purce rattled the crossbar from close range. From then on, it was just Simone Charley and Midge Purce.
