I think it is a style of play issue. If you put her with Lavelle and Mewis you would get more out of her. Technical player need other technical players around them. |
That makes sense, especially after watching Brazil in the Copa America. Magic happens when technical players are together. |
I do not think you would be scored on with that line up(Dunn and Williams can fly and cover a lot of ground). You would score a lot of goals and the high pressure would be crazy. |
How entertaining with that be? Lately this team is hard to watch. The mismatched styles of play and over the hill players. |
I'm not sold on Williams either. However, can we take a moment to talk about how amazing Crystal Dunn is? She still seems underappreciate at me, even though she's an integral part of the team. |
She is. She should be playing midfield or forward and scoring goals. She shut down Kadidiatou Diani who was terrorizing defenses. Dunn was faster and quicker and would have tore up the World Cup as a midfielder or forward but you can not player her there if Rapinoe is on the field. Dunn sacrifices her game for Rapinoe. Williams has size, speed and some technical abilities but is a better fit as an outside mid. |
Williams and Macario are alternates on the Olympic team--so you'll have to wait for the post-Olympic glory tour. |
It’s a really old team. The youngest is 26 most are over 30. I really do not know what that says about the US women’s team. Are the older players that good or are there no up and coming players? 18 players only Dunn(29), Sonnet(27), Dahlkemper(28), S. Mewis(28), Lavelle(26) and Horan(27) under 30. I think you would want some fresh young legs out there? |
If they can continue to win with older players who have name recognition and marketability, they’ll likely continue to do so since it’s good for the “brand” and the pay equality argument. |
| I doubt Vlatko calls tor shots on team selection |
| I like Pinoe but she cannot run now |
| Would CW cut her or play her in D? |
After the Olympics and the back for more cash tour he will blow this team up. |
They changed the rules. It's game day roster. So alternative can be named to the game day roster...think it is a covid thing. |
Lol |
