The Florida team, led by the Queen, in great form, decides the NWSL, the American women’s league. It’s behind the first cup
Marta and Orlando Pride can win the NWSL title, the most important championship in women’s football, on Saturday evening, 11/23. The final will be at 10pm (Brasilia time) at the CPKC Stadium in Kansas City. This is the twelfth edition of the competition. While the Orlando Pride is looking for their first title, the Washington team is looking for their second, as they won it in 2021.
Orlando has favorite status. Moreover, in addition to Marta who flies low, two other Brazilians stand out: Angelina and Adriana. Furthermore, in the last four clashes between the teams, they have won them all.
Where to look
The Disney+ channel broadcasts from 10pm (Brasilia time).
How is Orlando Pride, by Marta
Orlando Pride is having an exceptional campaign and has Marta in great shape (she is the favorite for MVP). They were leaders in the qualifying phase and, in the playoffs, eliminated the Chicago Red Stars 4-1. In the semi-final they beat KC Current 3-2, complete with a goal from the queen. However, Marta will once again be the creative brain of the team led by English coach Seb Hines.
Probable lineup: Moorhouse, Dyke, Sams, Strom and Abello; Angelina, McCutcheon, Watt and Adriana; Marta and Barbara Banda. Coach: Seb Hines.
How is Orlando Spirit?
The Washington Spirit placed second overall. In the playoffs, they eliminated the Bay 2-1 and, in the semifinals, after a 1-1 draw against NY/NJ Gotham (current champions), they prevailed on penalties 3-0.
The team’s big bet is the offensive power of Trinity Rodman. The daughter of NBA star Dennis Rodman and US national team starter is making a difference. But the Hershfeld fan, who scored the equalizer against Gotham in the semifinals in stoppage time and took the decision on penalties, was in doubt. However, she was confirmed in the lineup of coach Jonathan Giraldéz, a Spaniard who had been at Barcelona for years.
Probable lineup: Kingsbury, Nielsen, McKeown, Morgan and Krueger; Hershfeld, Stainbrook, Kouassi, Trinity Rodman and Leicy Santos; Hatch. Coach: Jonathan Giraldéz.
