The Portland Thorns take on the Chicago Red Stars on Thursday at Seat Geek Stadium in Chicago. Kick-off is slated for 4:30 p.m. (Pacific) and can be streamed on Paramount+. The Thorns currently lead the West group after their 2-1 win against Kansas City NWSL.
“It’s going to be a great challenge,” said coach Mark Parsons in his pre-match press conference on April 14. “Great test for us. I think Chicago is probably one of the groups that have the most NWSL experience throughout this FIFA date ... and we have a lot of respect for them.
