3pm Eastern US Time
Orlando Pride @ Portland Thorns: The Pride have Alex Morgan, the Thorns have Megan Rapinoe. We'll see if either play, or if they're still too hung over after the extended celebration. The Thorns are definitely the better team, sitting third on the table while the Pride are second to last. This match will be streaming on ESPN.com, and on Cable TV at ESPNNews.

Rapinoe plays in Seattle, thanks for the cruel reminder.

Portland has Tobin Heath, Lindsay Horan, Emily Sonnet and AD Franch who played for the USWNT. Christine Sinclair played for Canada and is few goals shy of Wambach's all time international record. Ellie Carpenter and Steph Catley played for Australia. Andressinha played for Brazil.

All but the US players have returned (but did not play well against Seattle last week). While they international players were gone Midge Purce and Simone Charley held it down and the Thorns did pretty well in June.

Nobody expects US National Team players tomorrow.

Is Dunn expected back tonight? I got tickets to the game, but was mostly going to enjoy watching Debinha and seeing if Hamilton stays on her scoring streak.

Dunn was shown on the Jumbotron at about the 35th minute of the Timbers game tonight.

Catley also plays for Reign! Portland has Foord as the other noted Aussie.

Midge Purce just got a nice goal from persistence then Marta scored a thunder bastard from just outside the 18.

Edit: Then Sinclair scored in the 67' followed by a Marta goal In the 68'.

Funny story about the end of that Portland/Orlando game yesterday. Since I (help) run the Riveters merch sales w/ one of my best friends for Thorns games we usually leave a couple of minutes before the end of the game so we can up and running by the time people are out of the stadium. Yesterday we left around the 86th minute when it was 3-2 Portland. We got into the Fanladen and started setting things up. My friend turned on the computer and got the TV up and running the stream so we could get post game stuff. Right as she turned it on Lussi is running towards the corner after scoring the last minute stoppage time goal. Then for the next hour as I sold merch people kept asking me "how about that Lussi goal though?"

That's loving enormous for a non-Portland (or Orlando/Utah inaugural) match. I hope the teams in proper stadiums can keep it up, cause average league attendance will go back to looking like poo poo once Sky Blue has a home match again.

Here's a good piece on the post WC attendance bump. The only thing I want to add is that for a "record breaking" sell out there were solid patches of empty seats throughout the stadium on Sunday.

There's the shirt. It's available on a bunch of other different things too.

Fun fact: Sunday, the loudly out and proud mohawked capo for the Thorns and Timbers, wore that dress for a Thorns match a couple of weeks ago. She got a request from her season ticket rep for her to have a 1 on 2 meeting with Merritt and the director of operations Mike Golub about the dress. That was neat because the FO has maintained that personal clothing was fine.

Anyway, that didn't work out well for them.


Follow up lol. This is Sunday's wife Heidi. The Timbers have no defenders on the bench tonight.

Of the attacking players that are no longer players, Purce is the only one that really contributed on a regular basis. Foord & Crnogorcevic never really figured out how to put the ball in the net. Though, it sounds like Raso is off to Everton so that'll sting a bit.

Our current air quality mess is because a lot of Oregon is on fire. When the east winds fueling our fires finish dying out and the normal on shore flow comes back that's when we get to enjoy all of California being on fire.

Weaver might have deserved a yellow there, but from my perspective Edmonds was the instigator and Weaver’s red was way too harsh. Lol Merritt had tweeted out a second angle but has deleted it already.

Simone Charley’s second yellow was a stupid challenge in KCs 18, absolutely a card. Not sure what made MarPar think that was worth getting his own red for but that’s why he’s the gaffer.
