Whew, NC has scored 11-0 in their last two games (and game isn’t over yet.) This group’s passing and spacing looks really good, and they are consistent, no matter the player or opponent. Let’s hope our Thorns continue to level up the next two games because that Aug 20th game vs NCC is coming quickly and they look better than we do (despite our solid win last week.)

Road win would be nice, Cup or no Cup. May the Betfort Show continue.

Oof Matildas. They had so many first half opportunities and nuttin'. Can Sam Kerr bail them out or is their tournament nearly over?

Even with Kerr Canada would be hard to score against. If Canada can score it is is over for the Tillies Kerr or no Kerr. Both teams have problems with their front line. If Kerr is truly healthy maybe things change and the pressure is all on Australia.

Thorns can no longer win the group after one of the weakest PK calls ever gave OL Reign the result over SD Wave.

The fact that game was close in Seattle gives me hope for August 6. The Wave looked terrible here and yet played Seattle pretty even. But the Thorns have to be the same Thorns as we saw last week against LA.

Just watched the replay and that PK call was incredible. If there has ever been a clear and obvious error, that was it. Where in the hell was VAR?

We've seen A. Nichols many times and not seen that level of ineptness. Bad, but not that bad, and not combined with an even worse VAR. Makes me wonder if the league office decided who the winner needed to be ahead of time.

I truly hope we don't see Nichols at a Thorns match again this year.
