I came into this game expecting disaster. I’m a Liverpool fan and earlier today I saw them capitulate to Manchester City to the tune of 5-0. I was reasonably confident they’d get a result today and it ended up being a total shit show.
So I figured, if I assume the Red Stars would get rolled, they’ll end up doing okay. That’s how this works, right?
It worked, at least. It wasn’t a disaster. But it wasn’t a great day. The Red Stars had playoff qualification in their grasp— all they needed to do was win. But they couldn’t manage to score against Kansas City, and had to settle for a 0-0 draw and putting off playoff qualification for another two weeks.
