4. The Portland team will probably do very well.

I'm excited, to say the least. The Thorns (love the name...) will play at Jeld-Wen Field, where Timbers home games are played. It's a nice facility (although already too small for the Timbers...every game sells out fast), and it's an easy walking distance from my house. I'm not sure how the process of divvying up the USWNT players who are interested in the league will work out, but if where they currently live is any factor, we could be sitting pretty. Abby Wambach and Megan Rapinoe both live here in Portland.
