This Wednesday another mid-week game awaits us when the Portland Thorns visit the San Diego Wave at Torero Stadium at 7 p.m. Pacific.
It will be the first time both teams meet in the regular season, with Portland having played six games so far and sitting at fifth in the league table.
Whoever predicted that the Wave (4-2-1, 13 points) was going to sit atop the table at this time of the year and that the Thorns (2-1-3, 9 points) were not going to be the favorites going into this match deserves an award. This last statement is not blatant hubris, but this is the first time in NWSL history when a rookie team is having the results San Diego is getting.
