Today is October 29. This is the day every NWSL fan has been waiting for — to see their team play in the championship. This is the day when when Portland Thorns may be crowned champions for the third time in their history.
It was 2017 the last time this club claimed the NWSL Championship trophy. In a rough match in Orlando, they beat North Carolina Courage and raised the second cup of their history. Then, 2018 gave the Thorns an opportunity to be back-to-back champions, but the Courage took revenge and left Portland heartbroken with a 0-3 defeat in a packed Providence Park.
