You really think they played for a tie and rested their stars? I guess your the type that believes anything. One luckily goal and your eliminated.

Must be true. It was said after a press conference.

Did you watch the game.? It was pretty clear neither team is interested in attacking. So how do you explain it?

I can hear it now…..

“Hey guys, we don’t need to win. Just tie. So don’t let them score or else we will have to score.”

Now go them!!!!!!!

“We came in with the mindset that the first goal was to win the game and the second goal was to put a good professional performance and not get scored on,” Andonovski said. “We accomplished the second which was very important because it put us in the same place.”

- coach

Still think they weee playing for a tie? They were playing to win….they just couldn’t.

I wonder if they will keep 10 players back on defense and play for a shoot out in their next game

Here's the difference. The women's team players' identity comes from the national team. They use it as their primary means of money and fame. The men's team is the opposite. Their main focus is club football. That's who pays the bills for them.

He’s not going to outright admit it. You don’t literally play for a tie dummy, but you play very conservatively. He essentially admits this when he talks about one goal only to win. This means he was having them sit back very conservatively the entire match. Again, if you watched the game it was obvious. They were taking little to no risk. They were not attacking as usual. Have you not watched soccer, ever?

The first 1/2 they did not sit back. From the 75 minute the US stopped playing and the Australian held the ball.

I doubt it's the hair. More like her nasty demeanor and behavior.

No, the color of her hair has been referenced more than once. It's definitely a source of consternation for some reason.

So he’s a liar. Can’t have it both way and explains the team chemistry.

Ellis would have crushed the BS

The professional athletes need your help. Thank you for your service.

Because if they play Rap up front or Alex they can’t score and 10 back prevents counter.
Then Rap and Alex can still kick penalties for show and dough

At least I think they can still kick em
