“I love Medusa laughing in her bath
Tinted with blood, my blood. I love the keen
Blade of her furor in its silken sheath:”
As any gamer can tell you, sometimes fighting and losing to the monsters, the big bosses, can teach you lessons. At least, that’s what I want to take away from the ugly beating the North Carolina Courage handed our Thorns last Wednesday night.
Lesson One: Portland, in its current form, cannot beat North Carolina playing straight-up soccer.
That’s a hard lesson.
