That was a kickass goal. Thorns need to stay aggressive and win this thing!

Thorns players are being very aggressive. committing some fouls, but doing well defensively.

Kat Williamson ejected in the 56th minute after her second yellow card ... and some decent acting by Abby Wambach of the Flash.

Thorns have been playing a man down since Williamson's ejection.

Ellerton coming in for Heath was a good move. We need her defense and Heath was coming off an injury.

Thorns win, 2-0. Thorns win inaugural NWSL championship. it was gritty, tough and well-earned. goals by Tobin Heath and Christine Sinclair were the difference, as well as some excellent team defense and goaltending.
Portland Thorns FC - CHAMPIONS!

Holy Crap!! I didn't even know this happened. I was live drafting that night and completely missed it. Wow, that is awesome! Congrats to the squad! That's a great accomplishment (First Ever!) and a great highlight for the City!
