First things first, I need to grouse about a logistical snafu. NWSL teams aren’t great about releasing their teamsheets in advance— while MLS teams usually post theirs an hour before kickoff, NWSL comms people usually don’t release theirs until 20-30 minutes before the game starts. The Red Stars generally follow suit. It sucks, but I’ve learned to deal. Tonight, though, the Red Stars released their teamsheet five minutes before kickoff, and well after their opponents. Also, there was a bit of confusion when the lineup they posted on Twitter didn’t match what they had handed to media.
