New week, new game. After a blowout 5-0 victory over the Houston Dash, the Portland Thorns (7-2-5) have over a week to reset before they’ll face off against Sky Blue FC (2-10-2). During that time, Portland’s World Cup champion USWNT players left the Thorns yet again u2060— this time for U.S. Soccer’s victory tour.
Sky Blue, too, are without a couple of their big names; Carli Lloyd has also rejoined the USWNT for their matchup with the Republic of Ireland this Saturday, and Raquel Rodriguez is representing Costa Rica in the Pan American Games.
