FULL HIGHLIGHTS | Portland Thorns vs. Seattle Reign 

Probably the best I've seen Portland play this season. Smith & Linehan have the potential to be one of the most deadliest combos in soccer. Coffey was phenomenal as always

soph can play solo when chances come,or she can pass the ball to a open player.she is a gem of a soccer player.

Womens sport has improved so much, Its literaly a joy to watch players like Sophia Smith

whenever smith has the ball she is actually unstoppable great game. highlights were... ok they got the players walking out but no linups

Fans in the 3rd tier??!! Portland showed up! Love to see the support. Great game- this will forever be one of my favorite rivalries!

Reing did not play bad today, all teams are creating chances; the difference is: you have to score goals, you have to put aways your chances. Reing had plenty of chances and could not put them away. When the Thorns put away their chances (score goals), the heart of the Reign's player sank.

I want to emphasize something that I like about a player. Sofia Smith is a good individualist player (her tendency), But today she was passing the ball (teamwork). Did it work?_just look at the result: a win, they won. As the league becomes more professional; the player also will evolve and will overcome "the solo hero mentality" they were taught in college. Good for Sofia, she has added another dimension to her game: keep it up...The same goes for Rodman, Swanson and company.

I guess the Thorns are not looking for a coach anymore!

Lineups!?!?!?

Sophia Smith❤

Exactly, hit the ball law and to the corners. Is not elegant but effective.

Apesar do pênalti mal marcado, portland jogou muito bem.

When I saw "13" go up for stoppage, I thought: 1) that's cruel - you're asking this team to try and compete for that much longer, and 2) Seems a bit excessive for the time that was actually stopped in the 2nd half. A lot of fun seeing Seattle get beat that way in the end, and I didn't realize Soph had all three assists. Way to be!!!

go Thorns

Was there an injury? Why so much added time?

Ontem ouve um pênalti,ais claro que esse par o Chelsea contra o Manchester United, o o juizao não deu toque na mão tbm

❤

That penalty call was ridiculous. It bounced off her leg first.

I'll take "How to get a ton of comments from people who don't understand the handball rule" for 1000, Alex 👋🏻⚽ Bottom line is, Huerta could have had her arm tucked in or behind her back. The rules say if your arm is where it doesn't _need_ to be, you run the risk of a handball.

What football regulations are applied in the United States? Normally there is no penalty for this action.

absurd penalty decision - "Handling the ball For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence. It is an offence if a player: deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised"

5:03 What a shambolic decision here ! VAR overrides the central referee ?!? How is this rewarding good football ? The attacker is not in on goal. They beg for a call instead of playing to the whistle. The defender makes the stop with the foot. Involuntary ricochet / deflection from leg to arm is not handball !! The referee had a good view of it and made the correct choice to let the play continue. Even the attacking squad was not convinced and did not argue for a penalty. And here comes the VAR, takes 3 solid minutes off the clock, killing all the momentum of the game and awarding a penalty based on a new, completely made-up version of soccer rules ! Portland was the better team, they did not need this kind of gifts to spoil their merit in the victory.

There should be no handball if the ball hits another part of the body first. It's absolutely a crazy wrong rule, IMO.

Have to disagree with the handball. The arm was not extended in an unnatural position in my opinion.

Hard to believe that ref took four minutes of review to rule a handball. It's like he was hoping he'd see something different, but it just kept hitting her forearm. After four minutes, he's like "alright fine. Thorns get a penalty." And then Seattle whined and whined like they'd been hard done. 🙄

Will these over excited male coaches ever learn. Very unprofessional with the hold and lifting a female player up.
