Sunday’s match vs the Orlando Pride will kick off the second half of the season for the Red Stars; 12 matches down, 12 to go. Fittingly, next week will also see the opening of the second transfer window of the season which runs from August 3rd to September 2nd. Thus, it felt like the perfect time to take stock of the Red Stars at the halfway mark: what’s working, what isn’t, have the team’s potential transfer needs changed, and how difficult the rest of the road might be.
