Jessica McDonald has her penny off...looks to be a half time sub for Horan

Edit: Correction in for Ertz

Thats a great advantage call that almost led to a goal. And another iffy tackle from behind.

That Press volley.

I think Press is pressing a little, no pun intended. Could have passed that last one to the penalty spot for an easy assist.

I hope they don't call that. It was minor and outside the box.

Bleh.

Wow. You never see that call made live. Short of Mike Dean no referee makes that call.

Sucks for Lloyd, but karmically, I'm fine with the miss.

Bleh penalty followed by a Bleh pk

That was a horrible call. Ball never lies

5 minutes for what? 2. Maybe 3.

Long is close to getting run. And that foul on MacDonald should be a card.

edit. Yeah. She waited until the player got up. Correct.

Not sure I like the call of not playing Heath, Morgan and Rapinoe today. I understand the wanting to get other players significant time, but feel our 1st line needs to stay sharp going into the match with Sweden. Don't like games off, but that is just mean.

And then also, Morgan was on historic World Cup pace, just from a historical stand point dont think it is right to hold her out and rob her of a chance at an all-time scoring record when she is obviously our best up top.

Not a fan of Coach Ellis this World Cup.

Pretty sure the choices were made with playing 7 games in mind.

I understand what how they are explaining it, I just don't agree.

I'm ok with it. It gives a couple of stars time to rest/prevent injury and gives teams different tape to look at. Honestly, Pinoe & Tobin did not have great games at Thailand...why shouldn't Mo & Horan get a chance to show what they can create as wingers? Which they did successfully....much better job of creating space & opportunity on & off the ball. We have 23 players who could start for almost any team in the world...use them all (except our GKs please...they're a bit hapless). : )
