An Unstoppable Allie Long and Her High Riding Thorns!



Hold that tiger, by the way Thorns midfielder Allie Long is playing lately, with such a conviction and goal driven hunger, these words really fit on her amazing performances- making the difference for a high flying Rose City squad this 2015.

The Portland Thorns are sure heading to the right direction of the league finals as well with a conviction of perfection and excellence in the field, and although the squad is lacking a few of their players.

Still by seeing his initial eleven, displaying a sort of grand and dynamic soccer in both matches by its Manager Paul Riley, that’s causing an all-around sensation, by netting two important back to back wins at home.

Giving his girls an overall confidence going into their next match playing as visitors in the Windy City of Chicago to face a  belligerent and difficult Red Star at Lyle, Illinois and seeking another W in their favor to start with an extraordinary run.

A top rated Thorns seeing a top notch midfielder core headed so far by sharpshooter Allie Long, sure is  making life a bit easier for her Boss Paul Riley, who is seeing his ideals and strategies falling into place alongside netting the positive results that so far being undefeated in their  first two matches played at home.

Is to be considered so far as a feat, still with eighteen matches left in this campaign, that anything can happen, the Liverpool native can really be a bit relax with the current lineup and girls that will be staying behind as his starts are up to perform in this summer Women’s World Cup.

That won’t stop as well make all sorts of headlines in its current hot gun stellar player in the Thorns midfield by the name of Allie Long, looking to rewrite this club prestigious history since its inception in the NWSL and inscribing her name in gold in all of this entity record books.

As Allie Long with both stellar performances, so far she has tied the Thorns forward a National Team superstar Alex Morgan in most goals scored with 15 each and the midfielder netting her 46th career appearance and tying in first place with Nikki Marshall in all time appearances.

This match put in display Allie Long second consecutive match scoring drive in two back to back matches of the new campaign, defenders Rhian Wilkinson and Midfielder Kaylyn Kyle made their Thorns debut with their incursion in the second half.

Very well seeing Goalkeeper Nadine Angerer and Christine Sinclair making their first appearances of this 2015 and the German goalie had a picture perfect day with a zero incursion into her nets and registered a clean sheet for the fifth time with the Thorns.

if the Thorns continue their mastering against their opponents in all campaign by outscoring them, and holding them to single digit shoot attempts, this club is up and running for the league shield as stated in my previous post, Hail PTFC!

If I Root I Root for the Thorns!
