It’s a big day in the Windy City, folks. Both of Portland’s top-tier soccer teams, the Timbers and the Thorns, traveled to Chicago—on the same flight—to take on both of their teams in a two-city MLS-NWSL doubleheader. Hopefully, you’ve all seen this very good photo by now:
This image—boys in green and girls in red sitting together, Thorns scarves draped around Timbers’ necks and vice versa, everybody looking like they’re on their way to Disneyland, except Christine Sinclair, who looks like an air marshal—got us thinking. What if they got to Chicago and had to play one co-ed game against a similarly-composed Fire-Red Stars side?
