We’ve watched, and waited, and then watched some more. Now that the first Utah Royals FC match in history is over, let’s take a look back and see what we know with the first 90 minutes in the books.
The team is ready
While much of the team was held over from Kansas City, the club has integrated a lot of players from outside that core group. Notably, only five of the starters in tonight’s match were FC Kansas City players in 2017. Many people questioned if even a great coach like Laura Harvey could have the team prepared to compete with a short preseason, and with the national team players coming back only two weeks before the season started.
