Hello, and welcome to the Season Premiere of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Women’s Soccer’. Tonight, it is Match Play in the National Women’s Soccer League’s 2022 Challenge Cup, between Washington Spirit and North Carolina Courage.

Spirit are hoping that last year’s Rookie of the Year Trinity Rodman will not have a sophomore slump. She hasn’t scored a goal in this year’s Challenge Cup.

For the Courage, they are having some new faces and hope that they can continue their prestige while in a culture change. North Carolina was plagued at the end of the year due to the sexual abuse allegations against former Head Coach Paul Riley. Winning the 2022 Challenge Cup will help this franchise bounce back from that awful 2021 campaign on and off the field.

It is Washington Spirit and North Carolina Courage, in the 2022 Challenge Cup, coming up shortly.

NWSL and ViacomCBS is hoping for Gotham FC and OL Reign, because of Carli Lloyd vs. Megan Rapinoe. But I disagree.

If you can best compare NWSL to any other cross-country rivals in North America, it would be Celtics/Lakers. Courage and Thorns have either won NWSL Shield or the NWSL Championship, over the last few years.
 
These matchups between these two clubs should be more intense now that Crystal Dunn moved from Cary to Portland. Dunn went from being teammates with the likes of Jessica McDonald, Lynn Williams, and Sam Mewis to Christine Sinclair and Lindsay Horan.
 
But the Courage have reloaded. As they picked Amy Rodriguez in a trade with Kansas City.
 
Courage wins and there will be a 3-way tie between these two clubs and OL Reign. If Thorns win, they will be on top of NWSL Standings by themselves.
