Let’s face it folks: this Thorns season is going to be seriously disrupted. Yes, everyone’s very excited for the World Cup and everything, and it will be great, but the Thorns are missing 9 whole players during this stretch. The Thorns that will be rolling out during this time are going to be a different look than many fans are used to. As a way of preparing you, the readers and fans, for this difficult time, Stumptown Footy will be running an analysis series on some of the players staying behind in the first few weeks of the season: what they bring to the table, what they might play like together, and what they need to prove in order to put themselves in a good position to keep their spots when the superstars return.
On Deck: It’s the World Cup season, what does that mean?
