NWSL Playoffs Recap: The Quarterfinals Were Sketched in Chalk
Description
The top four go in as favorites, and the top four leave as semifinalists. There were no upsets in the NWSL quarterfinals, as Orlando, Washington, Gotham, and Kansas City all moved on. Some games were unprecedented blowouts, like the Pride's demolition of the Red Stars (0:57 ). Others were tighter affair than anticipated, as the Current's defeat of the Courage proved to be (12:49 ). The final two match-ups were dreary, attritional affairs until they very much weren't, as the Spirit got past a resilient Bay FC (22:42 ) and Gotham pipped the Thorns at the death (34:49 ).
What will the semifinals between Orlando-KC (46:09 ) and Washington-Gotham (56:46 ) be like? Is each match really a coin flip? The Guys get into all of it.
