Well, that wasn't how things were supposed to go. The Washington Spirit were the only team to lose a playoff spot on the final day. Pain. Hurt. Sads.

The Spirits had their roughest result of the season, losing 4-2 to Portland Thorns :( Annie & André are here to help you commiserate, but also put the L in perspective.
