Bound for the World Cup! United States, Canada, and Costa Rica are in. Plus: Finland debuts in Euros.

It’s been a good couple of days for the Portland Thorns’ international players in Concacaf, who on Thursday and Friday secured their spots for the 2023 FIFA World Cup.

This second day of action was important for their World Cup hopes, after the wins the USWNT, Canada, and Costa Rica got in their first matches.
