I don’t think I need to tell you that 2020 has been a weird year for sports. The coronavirus pandemic threw off just about everything, forcing almost every major sports league to adjust their schedule so that they can even have the opportunity to play their respective seasons. The NWSL is no different, adopting the bubble strategy this summer in Orlando for the Challenge Cup and now playing this Fall Series.
It doesn’t really feel like it, but there was a sense of normalcy in watching the Portland Thorns put together another masterclass performance on Wednesday.
