“We’re not just building a soccer club,” Angel City FC President Julie Uhrman said in those halcyon early days. “We want to build an organization that has impact. We want to set higher expectations for ourselves, for the players, for the league.”
NWSL expansions Angel City FC and San Diego Wave are the first professional women’s teams in Southern California in over a decade.
“The honest truth is, you learn more from the hiccups sometimes than you do from the successes. And I think those made us stronger,” she said. “You have to understand that there will be stumbles and there will be turbulence. And you have to be prepared for that,” said Thorrington, whose team shares its stadium with Angel City. “The key is to keep your conviction and to have real strategic discipline.
Following that strategy, LAFC preserved, just as Angel City has tried to do. And the payoff for that will finally come Friday.
