Thorns FC return to play this weekend with a shot at capturing the club's first-ever NWSL Shield as they travel east to play Sky Blue FC Sunday (4pm PT, WEBSTREAM).
But a number of Thorns FC players were in action over the past week with their respective national teams as they played international matches all over the world.
In an emotional farewell match to U.S. Women's National Team stalwart Heather O'Reilly, the USWNT blanked Thailand 9-0 last Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. Thorns FC's Allie Long and Tobin Heath both started and played the first 45 minutes with Meghan Klingenberg, Emily Sonnett and Lindsey Horan all seeing the field for the second half.
