Portland Thorns vs. Western New York Flash in Pictures, Part II
Don't think of it as reliving a horrible loss. Instead think of it as reliving the return of Alex Morgan and the debut of Veronica Boquete and Stephanie Catley.

Silly me, when I took pictures of these, I thought they'd actually be given to someone at the end of the match.

Alex Morgan arrives just a little late to get on the end of a cross.

Vero Boquete directs traffic.

-
Stephanie Catley races for the ball.

Morgan tries to chip the keeper, but her shot is high.

I love that Morgan will get physical in the box, end up on the ground, and still beat everyone back to the ball.

As the Thorns push for a consolation goal, Nikki Marshall gives playing in the midfield a try.

Morgan is taken down in the box; shouts for a penalty are ignored.

Christine Sinclair and Courtney Wetzel battle for the ball.
-
Mana Shim tries a through-ball for one of her teammates.

Morgan shoots for the far post.

I felt pretty sad for Boquete who, through pretty much no fault of her own, got the opposite of the debut she probably hoped for.

Props to the Rose City Riveters who put on a good show in spite of everything.
