Now, when you put them all together and they're vibing, how quickly they transition and you have Rose Lavelle who can dribble past anybody, the way that they can break down spirit, I think, is relying on those 1v1 players and then their combination play to get in front of goal.

Because as soon as they are, as soon as they start heating up and they're bouncing the ball around quickly with their front maybe five players, I don't know if Spirit can stop them because we've seen even in their last match leading up to playoffs, they just look like they're in the zone. They feel it right now.

And I don't know if Spirit can handle that, especially with how many players they're missing.

I'm going to go with Gotham.

I also have Gotham going through. I see them making it to the final, but they don't have the Allie Krieger to fight for this year.

I feel like this is the correct answer. Although the Kansas City playing at home for their final would be epic. It really would be.

Please. I should have bet something on this. You should have.

I mean, they've got a lot to replace in Christine Sinclair. She's been the... part of this team. I think since she became part of it in the inaugural season, having somebody to fight for like Christine Sinclair obviously gives you an extra push going into playoffs, which Portland desperately needed alongside Sophia Smith coming back.

And if I'm not mistaken, I think Sophia Smith is potentially up for contracts or up for negotiating a new contract after this season. They need her there. This is a team that I don't think we saw enough dynamic goal scorers in the front line without her and Morgan Weaver. They also need, I think, another midfielder.
