The Portland Thorns are a good match for the Flash. We saw these two teams play each other about a month ago. I took this picture of their goalie (and the German national team Goalie), Angerer, during the practice rounds for that game. Last night I got photos of Alex Morgan and Tobin Heath as they headed back to the locker rooms after the warmup. Portland’s star forward and one of my favorite players in the league, Christine Sinclair, was injured last night and that may have made all the difference.
The Flash are good even when they lose and about the only thing you say bad about them is, “they can’t finish.” It certainly would help if Sydney Leroux wasn’t out with an injury. Last night they scored three quick goals, all on solid runs, and they came away with 3-2 victory. A decent finish to a tough season. We’re going for season tickets next year, provided the league doesn’t fold.
