So Rapinoe is on the team to come on, play 27 minutes, turn the ball over a ton because she's rusty, and then require the US to use another sub instead of replacing a starter's tired legs.
Hey, they only scored the goal because she took out a defender to make it 11 v 10So Rapinoe is on the team to come on, play 27 minutes, turn the ball over a ton because she's rusty, and then require the US to use another sub instead of replacing a starter's tired legs.
I wonder if some of the press she got recently has altered her approach. She's trying too hard it looks like.Tobin Heath's decision making is impressively terrible.
I think she just is who she is, fancy dribbling is by far her best skill, which is fine for a wing, and death for a FB. It's just a poor decision by Ellis to put her in the back.I wonder if some of the press she got recently has altered her approach. She's trying too hard it looks like.
I think she is out of position on the back line. She has looked fine in her regular position, but when they pulled Long for Rapinoe and went to 3 in the back, and then they scored, they dropped Heath back thereto "shore up" the line. It is so not her nature to be more tentative on the ball.I wonder if some of the press she got recently has altered her approach. She's trying too hard it looks like.
I was just going to post how I like Dunn tracking back to help!Gonna be fun watching Mallory Pugh for the next 10-15 years. Forwards playing d is a great thing
Both are great at itI was just going to post how I like Dunn tracking back to help!
I (usually, when not getting an ulcer) appreciate the ground game much moreThat exact ball from Dunn into the box is where we miss Wambach.
I do too, but occasionally that ball still happens, and we miss the physicality that Wambach brought. Her sheer size made a huge difference in the air.I (usually, when not getting an ulcer) appreciate the ground game much more
They were both onside. That was an amazing sequence.Lloyd was onside, that call had to be for a foul, right?
Morgan Johnson Lloyd not sure other 2So...who takes penalties?
Lloyd obviously. Heath missed in the 2011 final, Morgan doesn't seem to fancy them. I'd guess Horan, Brian, Press, and Dunn.
