The NWSL playoff semifinals are set, and all four teams can keep an eye on the prize thanks to talented players and tactical strengths.
The San Diego Wave, Portland Thorns, OL Reign, and NJ/NY Gotham FC can all realistically see a path to the podium after strong performances during the regular season. Talent-wise, the teams are closer together than usual after an incredibly competitive regular season with only six points separating first from sixth place.
