Replaying the missed shot over and over. Move on
Cant play the olds against the netherlands
They gonna get eaten alive

I feel like they've looked better since Lavelle got out there. Finishing still needs to improve but better stuff in the last third.
Morgan was certainly disappointing, outside of the early assist. Need to play a lot better against the Orange.

It was a reckless foul by the US. Somehow she ignored it, then stopped play for the injury with the US carrying the ball forward. Bizarroland.
LaVelle is one of the most fun players to watch
Why are we playing Rapinoe in this game, seems like a needless risk

She's been my favorite player to watch since 2019.
Thought she had that one.

Job done. Wasn't pretty but I bet we don't undershoot our xG like that often. Next game is a tough one.

Yeah. If you look at the stats, 3-0 is the expected result.
Smith Rodman Lavelle and Horan are going to be the players that win this offensively
Good to have Ertz back and the new CB is solid
Rapinoe is beyond pathetic at this point and the announcers covering for her shank pass was pathetic
Morgan needs to hit the bench as well

That one was for Tricky Dick!

Still think she was the best player at the WC in 2019 and was absolutely robbed of the Golden Ball award
The US plays so much more direct with Rose on the ball. It seems to fit the the whole team better

Doesn't EVERYONE think this?

Rapinoe is 38 and it was already evident in 2019 that she had lost a step against younger competition
She is a liability out there….i hope vlatko doesnt play her against the netherlands

England squeaks by Haiti and Japan pasted Zambia in the early morning matches. Denmark and China still at 0-0 (on Fox if anyone needs a Saturday morning activity).
Don't teams in your group usually play on the same day?
I think it's weird that Netherlands plays on Sunday then on Wednesday. We get 2 more days of rest than them.

This game is awesome I've been watching for six minutes and it's been non stop action
Denmark China has been pretty entertaining (at 73 min mark).
Denmark seems pretty technical on the ball compared to what we watched last night

I think it's wonky because they had both hosts play day one of the tourney and they're in different groups.

Pretty hard to be any less technical than what we saw last night.
Euro teams were getting more technical on the ball than us back in 2019. The money invested by big soccer teams into their women's teams has really helped propel them forward.RebAg13 said:

Yep meanwhile the US has a class based system
With college being the goal not professional

Am I missing something? I watched the replay of the 1st half last night with the intention of watching the 2nd half today....but its no longer showing on Fox Sports app? Only replays of games from earlier today.
3 matches a day let's you play 3 groups in 2 days. They have a lots of group games and this shaves 6 total days off the schedule. It's the price of a 32 team tourney.Grapesoda2525 said:

Just feel like it would only make sense to bring her in at like 70min, and only if trailing or tied in knockout rounds. That way you limit your chance she is exposed for pace or fitness, and can just be in to whip in crosses
She looked old and stiff. A real liability against any opponent with talent or physicality.PatAg said:gambochaman said:

Besides the physical limitations, she was just bad. Lots of unguided missiles from her. Worse, there were more dumb plays than smart ones.
I hope she stays on the bench vs Netherlands, they have speed for days.
She shouldn't see the field again this tournament. As stated, slow, poor passes, just generally bad play. Would be a liability against quality teams.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.
