The Seattle Reign FC and Portland Thorns don't have decades-deep history of grainy film footage of games played at the Kingdome. The two sides and the NWSL as a whole are still very new and forging their own legacy of what modern day women's soccer looks like. Their history may not be as deep as the men's game, but the ferocity sure is.
This weekend brings the Seattle versus Portland soccer rivalry to an incredible, higher stage. Seattle Reign FC host the Portland Thorns on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Seattle Sounders host the Portland Timbers on Sunday at CenturyLink Field.
