Happy Fourth of July fellow North Carolina Courage fans! For the third consecutive season, the Courage will be playing a game around the holiday, and I’m starting to like this as a league tradition. The Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions always host games on Thanksgiving, why can’t the Courage always host a game on 4th of July weekend/day? Let’s take a look back at those two past matches before we delve into tomorrow’s game.
In 2017, the first year of the team, the Courage hosted Sky Blue FC on July 1st. My family was in town, so we took them to the game.
