I don’t think they did have speed anywhere else! Almost everything dangerous they did came through Kundananji.They did outplay the Thorns for large stretches but it wasn’t really due to pace.

In fact, the Thorns were the ones who were running them ragged with *their* pace up front in the first ten minutes, which is why it was annoying that they immediately fell into the low black.

Fair enough, I am still feeling terrible despite the win. For me that game was a lot of "Oh No we are going to lose" starting with initial bliss at the stat of the game and nervous tension after Soph scored the third goal.

I should know better to question the Savant who picked Orlando to finish in the top four. Have a good trip to Peru!

I wont get over this gloominess until I see a photo of Weaver with a smile saying she will get better soon.

On a positive note Soph had a hell of game; not just on offense, she was working like a mad woman on defense when they went own to 10. She will be tired on Saturday, but Washington played yesterday too and have to fly more than halfway across country.

I think that just like Hina was the key to improving the midfield since Gale took over Obaze is the steel and the calm that has improved the back line. I have generally liked Gales starting lineups and substitutions, but he missed last night. It was Sauerbrunn that needed the time off not Obaze.

I might be wrong on everything else I say for the rest of the year, but my preseason faith in Orlando will sustain me for many moons.

Hina is obviously an in pen starter, but she had a rough night last night.

The opposite of the Gotham game where we outplayed them most of the game and lost. Maybe similar to the Louisville game as well
