An inspired and offensive
minded Portland Thorns- opened up their campaign of the NWSL, with numerous fireworks
and showing off their desire to net the league shield again!
Still this was their first
match of the campaign and so far for Paul Riley’s Lassies, putting a display in
the field with such mastery and determination, that the Boston Breakers couldn’t
contain such a hunger from an inspired initial eleven.
Like always Rose City
supporters really enjoyed an evening of spectacular and out of this world football
were the local Thorns really put on a show, especially with an inspired
midfield crew that really put on a display and four goals in the opposing squad
nets.
The PTFC really looks
like an all-around contender, still this summer we have the Women’s World Cup
of Soccer celebrated north of the border, this and many squads of the National Women’s
Soccer League will be losing their starters.
Still this isn’t a
loss cause as many of these squads already have some girls in stand by and will
prove their mettle and belligerence, stating their overall readiness to seek a
spot with the big squad, but they really have to leave an overall impression.
For yours very truly
this is my first time writing about women’s professional soccer and what I saw
the other day many in the opposing men’s league can learn a thing or two from
these lassies- playing with a lot of ambitions and hunger.
Notorious is the way I
can describe a dedicated and double scorer in midfielder Allie Long as in both
plays she really showed her passion and love for the game, giving you the explanation
of why is called the Beautiful Game!
Hang a star on those girls’
performances as well from Sinead Farrelly and Meleana Shin who contributed for the
winning cause as well take a bit of pressure from their Manager back, as always
the first match is the nerve racking one.
Giving the Liverpool
native Boss a way to smile and approach the rest of the campaign with such enthusiasm
and optimism that can be transmitted to his girls and maybe seek a second
shield for the halls of Providence Park from its Thorns.
With nineteen matches
left in the campaign the Thorns are ready to front a combatant Western New York
Flash squad coming from a horrible defeat from the Seattle Reign and a visit to
Benedictine University Sports complex to face the Chicago Red Stars.
With the way PTFC
will be playing this campaign, undoubtedly this their year that can net a lot of
satisfactions to its followers and players alike after seeing their efforts
crowned once again as an overall contender of the NWSL.
If I Root I Root for the
Thorns!
