There’s a term in tech when programmers are closing in on a deadline and they need to work double overtime to get it done in time. It’s called a ‘death march.’ That is where the Chicago Red Stars are now.
On their third game in a single week and with teams closing in on their playoff spot, the Chicago Red Stars are reaching the end of their ‘death march’. They have survived so far with six points from six, but now comes the greatest challenge: Sky Blue FC.
It seems so weird to say that a team that has spent most of the season in last place is the biggest challenge to a team who spent time at first place, but this game is not quite what it seems.
