WNT v Holland

[Anonymous]

I like this 11. Showing a little more patience and ball movement. And what a wonderful flick from the middle and shot from Lavelle.

Wonderful moment for Kristie Mewis! Made my day.

Today’s line up was strong

[Anonymous]

Any lineup with a wing like Heath that defends and another opposite (meaning NOT Rapinoe) will be stronger.
Philosophically the USW try to overwhelm withnotessure athleticism and intensity. If a team can withstand the storm,
then they have a decent chance to break thru against US late. The Dutch are too big and slow in ball movement to succeed
Spain 🇪🇸 is the formidable opponent now.
Several players: Morgan, O’Hara, sauerbrann are all looking either rusty or old. Ertz also looks a step slower for her but still fast enough. Lloyd and Morgan now don’t press fast enough and do 1 thing only, strike on mreceived balsnin center. Time for a lot of change. Also time for a new keeper but the USW keeper rarely gets tested so hard to expose that aging.
Morgan offsides not smart today and very late on her high press, she needs to get in game shape by playing.
LaVelle is so good right now it looks like she is playing down

I don't get why city are having a hard time figuring out how to use Lavelle. Seemed pretty obvious today.

LOL the Dutch speed of play and passing was much better over all vs the US. It could be rust but that is not the US’s game. You can see it in the way Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle played. Playing at Man City has upped their game. US is just better from top to bottom by a lot. Crystal Dunn should be up top with that Mewis and Lavelle line.

Like I said the Dutch speed of play was too slow to beat the USA
Yes the Dutch speed of play > the USA speed of play

Spain can do it and will. Especially against Lloyd Rapinoe and the other older players

Yes Dunn > Rapinoe

I agree that not having Rapinoe makes the team stronger and that the team needs some infusion of youth. Morgan did not play for a year, because of giving birth, so I am not surprised that she was not quite on her usual level. Going forward, there are several teams that will be a threat Spain, France, and England come to mind.

You keep posting how WNT will fall yet they keep winning. Maybe someday you’ll be right, but you’ve been wrong so many times before it won’t matter.

Exactly my thought.

"The world is catching up and will surpass us" and "we beat everyone on athletisms" crowds continue to regurgitate the same talking points fornyears as if we are not evolving as well.

We know...We know

You are overreacting. The PP was simply making a point that USWNT needs to get younger and that older players will have hard time keeping up with younger opposition from other countries. I don't think that PP was bashing our team. Do you really think that Rapinoe and Lloyd, who will be 36 and 39 by the time next world cup arrives, will be able to start against elite level opponents? Other teams are getting better so we cannot go to the next WC with players that are too old in soccer terms.

Back to back wins on the European Champions.
Back to back titles as World Champions.

More than enough young talent to fill the ranks.

Surely, I'm not the one over-reacting

Did Netherlands have a shot on goal? You’re right. The Europeans have caught us. We are doomed.

Taking a knee overseas while representing the USA? Huge thumbs down.

BLM on warm-ups? Stupid.

"States" to replace "United States"? Lame.

The only saving grace was that Rapinoe is out and Jaelin Howell is in.
