Hello Claire. I enjoyed the preview to the NWSL quarter finals. As an English Rugby League fan I am used to end of season play offs. This 13 a side version I grew up with is a bit closer to NFL than Rugby Union which Sevens came out of, but since Union went professional they have raided the traditionally professional RL for specialist coaches. For those who do not quite make it at NFL, I encourage a look at Australian RL. The women's team that won the RL World Cup were amazing.
"if you're picking defense versus defense i would probably pick Gotham's over Portlands" well, yes. one team gave up 35 goals in 26 games and the other team is tied for the best defense in the league gave up 20 goals in 26 matches. to pretend they're close in this regard is hilarious analysis.
