Correct!
Overall had a really nice shift. Gave up a really unlucky deflection for the first US goal but otherwise she just continues to be consistent. Also had several moments where she was able to carry the ball up the left side and try to flip the attack like she did so often for us during college. Probably hung on a touch too long a few times and lost possession, but I'm excited to have her back in the US and see how she continues to develop at OL Reign.

That was a lucky/unlucky goal. If she gets mm more it she blocks it.
I'm assuming Mexico will play in the Olympics?
No, the Olympics is a small field so only 2 teams out of CONCACAF qualify which are the US and Canada.

USWNT vs Mexico WNT again today @4cst espn
Two horrible referee calls.
92 year old WWII veteran played the National Anthem on his harmonica and several players on the USWNT turned away from the flag. Every single Mexican player faced their flag during their anthem.
Embarrassing. I'm done watching this team

Score could be 6-0 without that offside call on a goal that wasn't called, and with that obvious penalty call that wasn't called. Now that's an embarrassment.
I don't think the WNT will miss either of you "fans". First, everyone complains about kneeling. Next, when they don't kneel, it's complaints about not facing the flag. You don't need to tell everyone you're not supporting the team by posting on the thread. Just don't watch them?
If the players protesting had an ounce of integrity, they would boycott being on the team. I wouldn't agree with them but I'd respect them. Rapinoe and Press are two of the best players in the world and boycotting team USA would resonate way more than the cowardly crap they're pulling now. That would get attention and would be way more effective trying to get positive change in this country than what they're doing now. They reap all of the rewards of playing for the United States of America but can't bring themselves to even face the flag during the anthem.
They seem to be getting plenty of attention from a bunch of people on this site who claim to "be done with women's soccer" and to "never watch again"

Fans of the U.S. can't complain when some sorry bi****s decide to show their ignorance? You support these women but someone isn't allowed to voice their opposition to them?

It's all over social media.
Again, don't watch them play? I don't see how hard that concept is. Don't pay for jerseys with their name on it, don't pay for tickets to see them play. Don't post on a thread about Jimena Lopez and the USWNT if you don't support them and don't like watching women's soccer.
I didn't say you couldn't do it. I just said there's a lot of people here who seem to want to spend their time b****ing about people that in the same breath they say they're done with. Be friggin done already. This thread wasn't even about the USWNT. It WAS about Aggie legend Jimena Lopez.
Who by the way, had another really solid game tonight. One of my favorite moments was actually Jimena coaching up her center back after the Lloyd goal. On the play, Jimena stayed with Heath as Heath crossed to the front post, Lloyd slipped in behind to the empty space but the center back didn't drop to cover. Based on the bit caught on camera, it seemed like the gameplan was always for Lopez, to stay tight to Heath, but the center missed the switchback. Really impressive leadership from Lopez.
I hate that we really only get tv coverage of Mexico when they're playing the US since they're still so over matched. Hopefully we'll get to see more in the next WWC qualifying. With the expanded field, Mexico should absolutely qualify and I'll proudly take my Aggie soccer scarf to AUS/NZ in 2023!

I don't watch them play. No problem at all. Don't tell me what to effing do either.

Thread title looks like a game thread. Good for her. I'll support her and her team over the brats who play for the U.S.
Disregarding the angry trolls
I think Jimena played well as a whole, but the US frontline did some circles around the Mexican defense and they will be in a world of hurt until they can find better cohesion. The marking was atrocious, especially on the Carli Lloyd goal. I hope Jimena finds a starting role with OL Reign as I'm excited to see her play in the NWSL and watch her development.

Yeah I 100% agree and I think she can get some solid time with the Reign. Their back line has been pretty consistent from a lineup perspective, but not particularly strong. Now with Alana Cook coming over from PSG (at center back) and Bouhaddi from Lyon (at GK) , they're ready to build a really strong core. Reign also loses left midfielder Quinn to the Olympics for a few weeks which could open up opportunity for Lopez who does well to press the attack up that left flank.
No, they turned towards the flag which was near the scoreboard. Why would they turn away from the flag and place their hand over their heart?medog said:

As bad as the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team is for a lot of reasons, this does not appear to be accurate.

They were facing the flag near the scoreboard and several of the women that turned had their hand on their heart so it's hard to argue they were being disrespectful. https://t.co/kQmaLwHlFe pic.twitter.com/SJP8wFX1eZ
