After a long offseason, the Portland Thorns take the field in Orlando this Sunday to kick off their 2019 NWSL season. Like the Timbers, the Thorns will be away from home for a stretch because of the stadium construction at Providence Park: their first 6 games of the season will be on the road. Once they close out this stretch, however, it’s a whole lot of home games at a shiny new stadium with some incredible soccer to carry us through the summer. As great as the Thorns have been over the last few seasons—and they have been great, winning an NWSL shield in 2016, a championship in 2017 and coming in second on both counts last year—one big question hangs in the mind of everyone watching.
