After the last meeting between Thorns FC and the Seattle Reign, I wrote;
“...it’s entirely likely that Saturday’s semifinal may be so tight that victory and defeat will turn on some small thing; a tiny slip, a minuscule space, a single moment of brilliance, or a sudden tumble to disaster.
Which team will make that small slip, or grasp that moment of brilliance?”
As it happened, both teams did those small things, right and wrong; traded slips, and brilliance, on the way to a 2-1 Thorns win.
