Matchday 2 of the National Women’s Soccer League is back with a bang! After an emphatic start to the 2025 season, all 14 teams are gearing up for another round of exciting games. But believe it or not, the spotlight is firmly on the first matchup of the week between Portland Thorns and Angel City. Beyond the promise of a thrilling contest, ardent fans will finally get to witness a player rarer than a blue moon—none other than Sophia Wilson!
Wait, before you think what it is, this doesn’t primarily mean that the USWNT star will be playing tonight. We all know that she can’t get action on the pitch, considering it was just weeks ago the 2024 Paris Olympic gold winner announced her pregnancy with her husband Michael Wilson. However, that doesn’t mean she can’t make it to the stadium and at least watch and rally for her side.
So expect the former Smith to mark her attendance at Providence Park, Portland, Oregon. In fact, to further glorify the occasion, Wilson took to Instagram stories to share a small message for her supporters. Putting up a post that had some details about today’s game, the 25-year-old wrote, “The best atmosphere. See you tonight Portland!”
