Better late than never: NC Courage playoff game moved to Portland on Tuesday

After a lot of waffling and non-statements from the North Carolina Courage and the National Women’s Soccer League, the decision has finally been made to move the semifinal playoff game between the Courage and the Chicago Red Stars out of the path of Hurricane Florence. Unfortunately, with poor preparation and timing, the game is going to have to be played at Providence Park in Portland, OR on Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. ET. For the Courage, Portland is probably the worst possible playoff destination, but at least they won’t be playing in a hurricane.

Why Portland?
