Holy cow! This is the Thorns team I've been wanting to see all season. Great evening from Sinclair and an outstanding overall performance from the entire team. Now let's go make some serious noise in the playoffs. What a right time to catch fire.

Agree 100% unfortunatelly injuries to Weaver that keep her out for around 4 months, the injuries to Smith, lately to Hina, had prevented the team to maintain some consistence for most of the season, specially the 2nd half.

[@jameskhatami4378]

Perfect pass from Hina to Morgan Weaver for header goal!

[@samgunn12]

Thank you for including lineups.👍

[@timbusincero]

the third goal was a great display of teamwork

[@TheIronMaiden92]

Was hoping to see some highlights of Sinclair’s last minutes at Providence 😕

[@timbusincero]

1:16 the tranquility of someone who knows the path to the goal

[@davidt3956]

Almost didn't vote because of the result in the first line of description, but it's so special that the editors managed to get lineups into both of the first clips posted today I had to pat them on the head.

[@EmmaPatterson-je8cl]

sophia’s first goal was AMAZING, shame it got called back

[@richardacevedo192]

She wasnt offside at all, it was a terrible call

[@LarsPorsena-r2n]

Classic Thorns soccer. They seem to be locked and loaded for the playoffs.

[@stevesunusual]

A full-strength Portland shows that the top six teams--not just the top four or five--have a shot at making serious runs in the postseason?

1:48 best striker in the world

[@pdmaheshsharma]

Angel City FC's back line is very poor they should change it in the new season

[@ricardorivera5556]

The whole team is a complete disappointment!

This Angel City squad needs an overhaul already some decent vets & promising young players in the fold but also a lot of players not of the quality needed to make this team a contender hopefully the new owners will be active in the transfer market because LA quickly forgets a losing franchise

[@christoh711]

ACFC at sixes and sevens. On paper they have so many bright players (not just Messiah) but I watched the full match a😮nd there seemed to be little comms and coordination between the sets of players (eg defence passing without knowing where the next player is), as well as too much ball-watching and waiting for the ball. To me anw. But I'm not B.Tweed so what do I know?

[@Icehota27trinity]

Sarah Gordon will have nightmares about Sophia Smith

[@paulasanjines2340]

Not sure what I hate more: The Thorn’s new uniforms or the horrible field playing conditions at Providence Park. I do love the players, no shade to them!

[@Davisikechukwu]

The angel city coach should be questioned. Why bench Thompson???

[@twagissmude]

❤

[@Reaper2004]

Commiserations to former United captain Zelem and fellow Red Devil Press after this defeat.

[@omargj1]

They joined the wrong team in the NWSL :P

[@lennymomanyi7104]

Angel City?????

[@edwinlemus8530]

Teamwork produces basket of goals; defense ball watching too. 1-Thorns have the same chance as the others team to win it; everybody starts at 0 in the playoff. 2-Sorry, but problem with Angel City is the coach a) she is a nice coach b) she gets along with the players ...keep it up and next year will be the same.

[@erwin_888]

what a pathetic performance by ACFC's defensively... not a team at all.

[@jsmandrake]

everything wealth & corporate touch turns to shite! Smaller, cheaper.... THEY destroy community Can't even watch games online anymore w/o being loaded! Congratulations on your class war

[@loganyates1570]

What are you even talking about

[@xSMOKExEMxALLx]

American soccer is funny to watch, its like watching children play soccer! 3 defenders chasing 1 player & defenders that head the ball the to their opponents, while trying to clear the ball from their own 18 yard box! 🤷‍♂

[@kycone]

Lmao elitists talk so much but the players that are second and third string in the NWSL are the ones they think are good in the euro leagues

[@emilioaymat5651]

Great game by the Thorns although Angel City definitely looked like they could use some practice. It's good to see Sophia Smith back on track because when she was wounded and not playing u could tell how it made the team not be as good. I don't know how the Thorns are on the standings although I think the Spirit is no top w/Gotham FC coming in 2nd or 3rd place and as much as I think Sophia and Hina are awesome players, I don't think they could beat Gotham FC if Gotham had their full line up because the only reason GFC lost to Orlando on their last meetup as because they didn't have many of their key players on that lineup as some were on international duty and others like Rose L. we're injured.
