The perenially beleagured Orlando Pride continue to be the team to beat as they face off in the semis against their rival this season -- a Kansas City team who finished near the bottom of the table just last season.

In an NWSL season marked by the retirements of legends like Alex Morgan and Kelley O'Hara, will a young Spirit team lead the league into its next chapter? Or will 38-year-old Marta finally lift the Championship trophy after eight years in an Orlando jersey?
