The Thorns spoke with the media today ahead of tomorrow’s championship match against the Courage. Nadia Nadim made the most of the day, giving us one last quote to cement her legacy in the Rose City.
First, Emily Menges offered this assessment of the North Carolina Courage:
“They're scrappy. They’ll never let down. They’ve definitely got the passion and the athleticism and all that. They're annoying to play against. They get any nick that they can. Other than that, I think their forwards, we've watched enough, at least defensively... to where we know what they bring.
