Final Thoughts

The Thorns are in the middle of a rough run and they really need to pull themselves together before the playoffs. With only two games left in the season, the time to break out of this slump is sooner rather than later. Now is the time for Cindy Parlow Cone to show that she can coach this team without relying on the pure athleticism and finishing ability of Alex Morgan, out with a knee strain, to keep teams in check.
