Generally fine discussion of what's going on with the Thorns, especially the point about disconnect throughout the field and most of the lines, but two strange comments:

Meghan Nally is one of the most consequential departures from the Thorns roster? Huh?

And, how do you account for Obaze playing full matches in the CONCACAF W matches but she can't get on the pitch for NWSL matches? That's not a match fitness issue.

Don't look now, but Chicago are leading SD. If that result holds, Portland drops to 7th, just 2 points ahead of both Loovull and Bay. We play both of those teams soon.

Trident. Trident is the nickname.

Tre Amigos is pretty great too though.
