The NWSL Challenge Cup started off with a bit of a whisper, the sloppy scoreless draw between the Chicago Red Stars and Houston Dash was not a good look; but opening night ended with a BANG between the Portland Thorns and Kansas City. Now, on Thursday night, we’ll see which energy will prevail between the Red Stars and the Thorns.
It is a season of expectations, for sure, around the Chicago Red Stars.
