After a nice little two week break, the red hot Portland Thorns are back in action. With their full compliment of internationals back in the fold, they hit the road to face Racing Louisville at Lynn Family Stadium.

Storylines So Far

The Portland Thorns (5-1-6, 21 points) weathered the three week period without their big name international players remarkably well, gutting out two draws on the road and notching a barnstorming 5-0 home win in their last time out. Currently sitting in second place in the NWSL table (with a game in hand), Portland has now reloaded, welcoming their contingent of international players back from the European Championships and Concacaf W Championships.
