It brings me absolutely no joy to say this, but the Portland Thorns are the 2022 NWSL Champions, beating Kansas City Current 2-0 at Audi Field in the Final. The MLS Cup Final will be played in Los Angeles, contested by LAFC and the Philadelphia Union as both teams topped their Conference Finals opponents by scoring 3 goals (LAFC 3 - 0 Austin FC, Philadelphia Union 3 - 1 NYCFC). Liverpool are in a bad way over in the Premier League, and Jesse Marsch is the primary beneficiary this time around.
